It's acrually a 4-8-0 because you can't see them clearly because of the dark lighting if you watch the restored version it's a little bright and it's clearly a 4-8-0 wheel arrangement
@@johnsplayworld2402 It's actually not a D51 at all, but rather a RENFE 141F. However, at this point in the film, the engine type changed, though it is still RENFE.
@@theplaneteater9088 it isn't. I read the wiki and it's actually a RENFE 141F, but at this point in the film it gets changed to an unidentified RENFE locomotive. I say unidentified, because nobody knows what wheel arrangement it has. I believe it's either a 2-8-2 or a 2-8-4.
To me it looked like a 4-6-0 or 4-6-2. I might be wrong though, seeing as I can't actually see the leading bogie, but I'm pretty sure one of the premiere express engine styles is the 4-6-2 like the LMS Duchess or LNER A1/A3 Pacific. At least, that's what the premiere express steamers were like in Britain, I have no idea what RENFE's were like, so I'll gladly accept correction on that matter. Edit: after looking at it in other scenes, it looks more like a 2-6-0 or 2-8-0, but I can't be sure.
@@phantomactual8916 I actually looked at it closer, and it is a 2-8-2. At 0:45 if you look closely, there's 1 leading wheel and then 4 drivers, times 2 is 2-8. And at 3:39, we can see no cab wheels. So 2-8-0
In vain Pujardov killed the train driver, if the driver were alive he could be able to stop the train before the cliff, because he knew where the brake was in the locomotive, but Pujardov didn't know. And by the way, he could just jump out of the locomotive, when he saw that the locomotive was rushing to the cliff.
Actually Pujardov did know how to operate the locomotive as creature occupying his body could absorb knowledge and skills. He also did not have enough time to slow it down and physics are harsh. Jumping out of locomotive at full speed (guess of 80 km/h) into rocky and frozen Siberian ground leads to very mangled host.
This is utterly ridiculous. The train is so obviously a model (not a very good one, either, from the shots when it goes over the cliff) but the most impossible thing is Peter Cushing and co uncoupling the last van, with the links held tight against the hooks. You can't do that it reality - but it never worried Hollywood......
Anybody remember when there was a youtube channel that had mass compilations of movie train crashes and thus was one of the featured crashes. Man I wish that channel was still around I think it was rails and rednecks or something

This movie freaked me out as a kid. I had nightmares for YEARS on account of those glowing red eyes.
Yeah definitely understand that, it was creepy indeed
Same. Saw it when i was 7. Never went near the TV led light for 10 years out of fear.
Those damn red eyes and the white eyes of the corpses...brrr
Same here lol
For years!!
i love this movie, and the incredible score helps make it that much better. shame it never gets the respect it richly deserves.
Love the fact that both Lee and Cushing are good guys...and get to live at the end ! ( not that many films where those occur ...)
The sort of group hug thing at the end with Lee, his character's girlfriend, and Cushing is heartwarming.

Luv this Movie! Matt the Siouxsie fan.

Didn't think Grand Moff Tarkin used such primitive Form of transportation
Cool piece of music 😎
love this movie
Actually it might be Guadix, a spanish locomotive used around the time telly savalas was in Pancho villa. It just now has smoke deflectors.
And shortened domes and funnel and modified tender

a model of what type of locomotive at first I thought it was a d51 but a d51 has a different tender.
the D51 was a 2-8-2, the engine was a 2-8-0

Seems a bit too convenient.
