Train seems to be OO-Scale (1/76th), possibly from Hornby. The lorry seems to be from Corgi Toys range... much bigger scale 1/55th or 1/60th scale. |

Looks like location is the Longmoor Military Railway where the Great St. Trinians Train Robbery was also filmed . /movie_60476-The-Great-St-Trinian-s-Train-Robbery.html -- Last edit: 2014-09-06 11:30:07 |

The train has the standard early grey Triang track and a Triang 0-6-0 tank engine plus what looks like a Battle of Britain/Merchant Navy class engine at the back. |

Upgrading from DVD included in Children's Film Foundation/BFi Bumper Box Volume 3 set No new entries, but one reject which I think is A40 Somerset rather than A70 Hereford as sill chrome stops short of front wing As said above, lots of chuff-chuff action filmed at Longmoor Military Railway- a fascinating story I'd never come across before. Here's a glimpse of the first few minutes with both main chuffers shown. Matilda looks like one of the many shunters in the LMR fleet ... and the big yin is Gordon, a 1943 War Department "Austerity" 2-10-0 design and the last steam locomotive owned by the British Army. Now preserved as a non-runner at Severn Valley Railway. There was also a little rail buggy Ronnie Barker Jon Pertwee - he was a proper Dr Who back in the day before they started using numpties; also became Worzel Gummidge |
