Fascinating. I was going to say they appear to have allowed passengers to sit with their feet dangling out of the windows like on the Puffing Billy Railway, before discovering it was the Puffing Billy.

Very prominent tarp covers. I might make mine a bit more generous. And the next time I'm criticised for coupling up stock a bit too vigorously I'll point them to one of the shots near the end of the film.

A great find, Peter. Added to my watch list to view on the main TV later.

Yes I noticed that too Rik. Like the way the crew member pushed the grate pricker back up on top of the boiler, so guessing it wasn't the first rough shunt of the day!!!
