The Titfield Thunderbolt Outtakes, 1950's - Film 17181

Out takes from Ealing comedy 'The Titfield Thunderbolt' Somerset countryside. Lympley Stoke to Camerton. Midford village. Bedford OB bus. Pans to 1400 tank engine. Somerset & Dorset on top - viaduct, GWR below. Viaduct is called Midford. (still there although both railways have gone) Idea of film is to show that we are not in the world of mainline expresses but in that of a branch line. So to pan down from express mainline on the top of the viaduct to a branch line train below, cameraman can hear the train but you can't. Pan down but the local train is too late. it takes three hours to re-do the shot and get the trains back into position. Take Two. The cameraman can hear the train coming again. He's waiting. Pans down and this time, it's there. Run down the line. Abandoned for passengers in 1925 and rails taken up in 1952 after this film. Station of Titfield is actually Monckton Combe. Engine "Lion" Liverpool Preservation Society owned it. mainline at Bathampton.
