    It'll be one of those built in the 1890s :)

    The film is set in the late 1940's when he's in his 90's

    Some station shots are clearly filmed at Horsted Keynes, but not sure where the others are filmed.

    They were filming with 178 at the Bluebell last July and I think the H class too (could have been the C)...

    Apologies, I saw the trailer the other day and didn't realise the period.

    Now with Testament of Youth they made a real effort with the trains - only spoilt by a long shot of a Black 5 with teaks on the NYMR.

    What happened to the new Dads army? loads of publicity and bluster and then absolutely nothing. Sounded an utter nail!
