Thanks Pierre, the Titfield Thunderbolt indeed a good film and gave people an understanding of how to save some of our railway heritage and to slow down railway closures.
Alas in this screenshot, everyday use of the steam hauled train is gone, the DD tram in London is gone and the Pub (not London) in the background is now boarded up ready for demolition?/conversion? to rich peoples flats/condos.
Great shots and the Pullman with a former LNER brake finding its way on to the head of the formation is definitely recorded in some prototype shots, right back to LNER days. If I can recall it correctly the 61ft6in steel bodied Gresley Full Brake to Diagram 45 of 1927/1928 was a frequent partner to principal expresses, at least in the LNER era.
Thank you for the compliment borderreiver. I wanted to show that anything could happen on the "old" railway unlike the "fixed formation" boring railway of to-day.
Brighton route under construction. This image is a 6 carr DTCL emerging from Clayton Tunnel. Whilst the old castle above the tunnel entrance is not quite authentic you will get the gist.
Cheers,
Val.
