Yes it is only in B/W, but I have got a DVD one, after my VHS recording bit the dust. The engines destroyed were real, I believe.

Does anyone remember a film called "Northwest Frontier" ? It was repeated about a fortnight ago on BBC2. A reasonable film on the Indian Railways in Queen Victoria's Reign.

In train movies, why do they always climb onto the roof to have a fight?

Same reason that they never turn the light on when entering a darkened room in a horror movie.

Octopussy has a good train sequence at the Nene Valley Railway, showing it's continental image at it's best!

And Castor Bridge about 6 times as well...
