Reissued for the 60th anniversary around a year ago digitally re-mastered and available on Blu-ray - a considerable improvement in definition and quality.
Great shame that the Hornby Titfield Thunderbolt set mixed up the train vehicles; a 4mm scale model of the Wisbech & Upwell tramway coach would have gone down a treat and could also have sold with Toby the Tram engine in Henrietta guise.

...Sounds likely to be the one I was trying to think of a few weeks ago, where, rostered to a Sat. p.m. (local?) freight, they decide to stop on an embankment for an inordinate length of time (20 mins.?), just to watch the local football team's afternoon match down below.Micky wrote: " Talking of railway films a railway film NOT worth showing at christmas time this year (or any year) is a 1955 b&w film called 'The love match' starring Arthur Askey as a Midland railway loco driver who drives as his regular loco a Midland 4F 0-6-0 tender loco. Virtually all the railway scenes are 'joke shots' such as goods trains going backwards at a fast speed on running lines (speeding the film up and reversing it at the sametime) and express passenger trains going at 150mph (speeding up the film to obtain a 'joke effect' i presume?) .... "

Well, it couldn't have been WGC box, then. You'd have had that in a shot, Micky.

Did anyone notice the error in the cricket match? The players race to see the train just after the bowler has bowled a ball. It goes over the stumps but the bails fall off.

There is another goof in TT.
Watch the 'race' between the coach ( Bedford OB) and the train, which is just before the hearing. The coach changes from RH to LH drive and back to RH!! film reversed.
