I've just come across this video on youtube, does anyone know anymore about this?
I shall have to watch out for that. (By the way, why is the rail link unavailable?)Just that 66754 and 66760 have both been moved to North Yorkshire Moors Railway reportedly for filming of Mission Impossible 7, because the rail link is currently unavailable they had to be lorried in, I'm assuming that a 66 traction course has been arranged for Tom Cruise and an extra cushion added to the drivers seat .....

Ok, thank you.Its due to a landslip at a location on the NYMR I believe.
Anything that Promotes Yorkshire, the NYMR, KWVR, SCR and others has to be good.Widespread coverage in Yorkshire on both TV and local press- got to be good publicity for NYMR which reopens May 17th.
The "something else" looks a bit like a steam loco tender - presumably related to the mock-up Pacific from the other thread?It looks as if the locomotives will not appear in the film. They topped and tailed a set of wagons which carried a mock up of a carriage end and a replica of part of something else.
Mission Impossible: 'Buzz' in village as quarry train scene set up
There are rumours Tom Cruise, star of the spy films, has already visited the quarry in Derbyshire.www.bbc.co.uk
What do people think will be going over the edge? Lots of 321s going spare at the moment!
That's the one.The "something else" looks a bit like a steam loco tender - presumably related to the mock-up Pacific from the other thread?
There's this picture on LinkedIn, which sounds similar except for not having the steam locomotive on it?That's the one.
I saw a picture of the full rake which had the mock steamer at the front followed by 2 continental style coaches then a bunch of wagons of different types being used to film.
One of the 66s was shoving at the rear.
Great see North Yorkshire Moors Railway supporting Tom Cruise and his next Mission Impossible movie, as he filmed in Levisham today (Elizabeth Parkes). I hope this is the kick start the heritage sector desperately needs and that they have their best year ever, to recoup their losses from last year.
Ok, thank you.The replica locomotive was shipped to Norway in September for filming there, using Norwegian carriages repainted in Wagons-Lits livery (a few photos here and here).
The partial replica carriage used at the NYMR is a copy of an NSB B5, matching one of the carriages seen in photos from Norway. I don't know what the carriages at the NYMR are, but they are meant to look like the Norwegian carriages. I imagine that they are scaled-down replicas, because a real B5 is 25.30 m long and 3.10 m wide.
Thanks.It's a non-operational replica that has been built specially for the film.

The 'Brittania' tender is real enough. Passed it this evening close up, on the trailer of a Reids heavy haulage just approaching the A64. Malton roundabout from Pickering. Well weathered dark grey livery complete with stained yellow Timken roller bearings and a convoy of traffic following.I could not quite work this out, is the steam loco a real one and if so, is it one that belongs to the NYMR? or has it come from else where, also the Wagons Lits carriages, again are they real ones that have been preserved either in Europe or the UK, if the latter, would they have been from the Nene Valley and if so, I wonder why they didn't film it there?
