I have today added archive footage of the 'Middy'! Plus more train-themed footage.
Note that you need to be in the UK to view the film. Internet Explorer is also recommended.

On clicking a few page options and using Firefox I managed to get it to work in the US - so overseas readers should 'experiment' you might get it to work.

There's also footage of the 1939 LNER Exhibition at Norwich.

Some real gems here - particularly the film of the Scotsman with loads of detailed stuff and Kings X men supposedly working right through. Where else is there a film showing luncheon being served in a LNER restaurant car with 10000 at the front. Exquisite shots of the carriage washer at Bounds Green and as for those bucket seats in the Tourist Stock.......
A topper is proper if the train's a non-stopper!
