Maybe so, but he's wrong.
Sorry about the yukky screen grab, but it's silly-o'clock i'the morning and I don't have a copy on DVD. As you can see, it's a J15 without a doubt.

This was shown recently over Christmas on t.v
I,m 99% sure it was a J50 going over a viaduct in the background in one of the shots.
On another page someone was discussing when they arrived in KX.

In 'Oh Mr Porter', I believe the naming ceremony involving 2509 was filmed at Hertford North.
Wish could work out where the opening scene with the titles etc, was - Southampton Central, perhaps?

I don't think I have Dr Finlay in the list. Do you have any more details?
Thanks,
Richard

Richard i have a post on this thread regarding the J36 check back through. The episode was from the original series not the later remake. I have also googled a Dr finlay fansite to try to get the title of the episode but no luck as yet.
Photographs appeared in the railway press around 1966 regarding this loco and two coaches which im sure were painted in NBR livery for the event.

Anyone remember a 1930s George Formby film with shots of a GN 4-4-0 (a D1?) and GN coaching stock plus a horse box. I think the comedy was centred around horses, jockeys, that kind of thing?

Thanks 52D, I'm certain that's he one - it doesn't seem all that funny nowadays, mind - unlike, say, Oh Mr Porter!!

I've just added Dr. Finlay's casebook. Still missing a date though.
Also added a couple of extra notes to Chariots of Fire which I watched recently. (Ivatt C1 shot looking down the length of the loco; and 'Cambridge' is nothing like Cambridge station!)

Hopefully I have correctly uploaded a view of a carriage said to be 3280 at Peterborough 25.06.55. H.C. Casserley 81860
This would appear to be one of the set used to film "Happy Ever After" filmed at Braughing on the Buntingford branch in September 1953, according to John Huntley's Railways on the Screen which quotes P. Paye's book on the Buntingford Branch.
It would seem unlikely that the set did further work after the filming.

Thought it was the old 'catsface' marking for condemned stock at first - in fact it's the CIE 'Flying Snail' logo!

I have just seen again the Kenneth More 39 Steps. The A1 looks like 60162 - the last "real" one! Am I wrong?
