Browsing on t'interweb tonight and found the following:
A very short item which contains a shot of LNER locomotives moving towards camera on parallel tracks.

One thing is for certain the leading right hand as you view A4 is one of the original 4 Silver engines. As to which that's anyones guess......

I think you'll find that the locomotives are stationary and that the cameraman is on a passing train...

Happy New year everyone
I have just looked at the clip, and as it's followed by the third test at Melbourne which took place 1st to 7th January 1937, one can date it to January 1937.

If the comment below the clip is correct it states that the 2 locos on the RHS are A4 Silver Fox and A3 Cameronian.
2512 was a Kings Cross engine at that time, but 2505 was a Gateshead loco.

Is this the same clip that we are talking about or a different one all together?
Because the one I have just looked at is definately 4 locos all moving.

How do you explain the stationary carriages on the right then???

The clip which identifies these two (shot from the stationary carriages mentioned above!) is here:

As there has been no mention or query of the location where both clips were filmed, in case some of us don't recognise it, the cameras were pointing south(-ish), a little north of halfway between Hornsey and Wood Green.
The opposite direction signals seen are (left) Hornsey Up Goods box's Up Carriage and Up Goods lines' distant signals, and (right) Wood Green No.4 box's Up Slow and Up Fast starter signals with lower distant arms for Hornsey No.2 box.
The four trains appear to be on the four Down running lines at this location (left-to-right; Fast, No.1 Slow, No.2 Slow, and Goods), and the stationary carriages are in Waterworks Sidings (site of the present-day Down Carriage line from Ferme Park sidings, ending near Alexandra Palace [at the site of the former Wood Green No.1 box], with the elements of the main carriage washer at intervals along it).
