Why the American accents?

Wow, is that the UK , no ***** 😮😮

Blimey, bullet holes in your newspaper (@ 4.21)!

Too bad someone defaced this classic scene by colouring it in and destroying cinematographer Bernard Knowles skillful photography.

“Saving time at the shed”? But let’s not have rocking grates and a self cleaning (with a little help) ash pan! But of course, we’ve always done it that way.

Filmed in 1954 in case anyone wondered

Thats why the Railway of today is in such a mess !!! Ted left the building 😁👍

You can only build locos if you smoke a pipe

Visiting the Planet Vulcan

When is this filmed?

1:16 English Electric Co/Vulcan Foundry Ltd EE514-A C-C electric locomotive, 3000V DC, 15 examples build in 1949 for the Santos - Jundiaí Railroad (EFSJ) in Brazil, a 16th example was built in 1958 from spare parts at the Lapa shops with a carbody ordered from Vulcan for this purpose. Numbered from 1000 to 1015 until 1983, in 1983 renumbered 9001 to 9016. All 16 units removed from active roster in 1998, 3 currently preserved.

Who was at the door?

Not much PPE on show here. No hard hat, gloves, ear defenders or safety glasses present. Very different times……

Nothing fantastic about this poor man's copy of Hitchcock's classic

I am a massive fan of the novel, the thirty nine steps, and have read the book countless times. I have, however, only ever watched the Robert don't version .

"...surprising how things go wrong if you don't maintain them..." Just as true now in 2025... Except I don't think it's really so surprising now.

Amazing!

“The Pain Train” - internal BR staff film. This copy is slightly edited.

Goood Show!!

Those who are not grateful soon begin to complain of everything. Thomas Merton, Thoughts in Solitude

any idea how long it takes for a train to make an unplanned stop, its not immediately y'know!

Love them trains.

The rail car design is horrific an accident waiting to happen any young child can open the door and take advantage of the fresh air at the slightest disagreement over a toy to the horror of the accompaning parent !

And they say Tom Cruise is a daredevil.

Never mind this rubbish, Minder On The Orient Express is the classic British train-based film!

Filmed in the days when passengers could travel without having to confront, entitlement, anger and aggression on a daily basis.

Ha Ha great work. And only second attempt too. Might need to get a seat if you are planning to ride it….. 😂

There were quite a few Nazi Supporters among the gentry in WW2 at least at the Start

.... The remake from 1959, not the original from 1935.....

Brrrr…..

Might not be the most accurate rendition of the '39 steps' but it's def my favourite....Some great actors...Kenny More is wonderful of course...the wonderful A4 pacific loco scenes and sounds...proper corridor coaches and smart station staff....incredible scenery in Scotland ...Love it❤ ❤Btw. I understand that the sets were so real that Betty Box the producer actually went into the fake phone box featured in a later scene to make a call!🤣 Oh and I've actually travelled across the Forth on that car ferry featured in this clip at 2:04 ! Wish I still had the photos I took!

You can't do this on modern trains!

Cool music

How can we have regressed so far in the name of cost cutting?

Where's Orson Wells?

720 135

You can watch the whole film 'Steps to Waverley' in it's original Monochrome on BFI PLayer.

My favourite version of this story.

Fantastic.

The trouble with most railway films is getting the details wrong, one example being the dubbed whistle at 2:44. Compare with the correct chime whistle later in the clip.

I grew up in Kings Norton

5:40 "At speed there ws considerable vibration on the footplate." On today's LNER Azumas there is considerable vibration all along the train over 100 mph. I wonder whether wheels rise off the track occasionally, to judge by the leaps of the coach and the clunking noises.

where is the rest of the film?

So from the driver's nameplate, this was in fact 1958.

too much cringey cheese, bye now.

With a hoor looking to her victims on the engines! Willing victims it seems!

Look at the beautifully maintained PW unlike tne disgrace it is today

Such a lovely, nostalgic film, thanks for posting. One can pick out the familiar land marks along the way that are still there.

We used to get the Devonian, from Leeds to Weston-super-mare, in the days of steam
