    The best comment on there so far is someone saying it's a Western Region 4-6-0 so they could have used anything including a Manor and a Castle and it would have looked the same! ;)

    Cheers,

    Hopefully they have negotiated a suitably daft hire rate with the production company that it ensures its next overhaul is funded- the cost and waste in TV and film is ridiculous so they will hopefully get a good bite at the cherry.

    The Bluebell have shared this link to the BBC on their Facebook page.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles...kEKOagzAqEsPkxG5al_aem_oPvyjt5PjusF8FffC-GwXA

    Says the loco will spend 6 months of the year filming and then return to the Bluebell. Also says a team from the Buckinghamshire Railway Centre will supervise the loco during filming and ensure it's maintained properly.

    I did see a few weeks back that they are building a Kings Cross Platform 9 3/4 set at the studios, but not sure if they intend to use a railway for other scenes involving the loco.
