No, it is not a model.
It is certainly 47292.
The harsh lighting and digital re-touching of the photo make it look like it may not be real. But I can assure you that the loco is very real, as was the van (and the van IS full-size - they had four of them).
The picture was taken on the second day of filming with the loco. It was taken from one of the elevated TV camera positions.

To think of all the hard effort that has been done over the years to make a model look real, and here we have someone that has managed to make something real look like a model...

Emmerdale becomes Life On Mars lost control of van & landed in 1970's BR land. Did the van go through a car wash number 5 cycle as it crashed out of control, concidering it been driving down rural lanes it as a very clean underbody:roll:.
How come this single line branch to Emmerdale Halt as never been mentioned in last 30 years of the programme & how did it escape Dr Beeching's axe, it must be well hinden as it cannot be seen in openning titles of the soap.
Is this part of the strategic reserve I think there should be a statement from Government minister on this matter, as there been a breech of security?

Is that a guards van on the back?

Looks like there as been a bit of line side fly tipping going on have BTP been informed

That is probably too much Thomas the tank engine, if UK railways had as many accident as them we would be shut down.

"The sign said go slow"
"I am an express engine, I never go slow said Gordon"
"Then their was trouble...."

OT but ive never understood how the fat controller ever turns a profit when he shuts half his engines in the shed when theyre naughty???

I had wondered what the purpose of all those pallets were.....

convenient landing ground for the van, in the next few months im half expecting rail travel to plummet as there are a few people who dont seem to see the line between soapland and the ral world.

I take it said storyline takes place after the van crosses the line via a level crossing??? (i may be wrong)

But i dare say if this is the case for those who cant define between soapland and reality, it may just help those work out what can happen if level crossings are misused.

Look at casualty...the amount of train smashes that have been on there over the years, and many others featured in different programmes on tv, it hasnt to my knowledge dented rail travel popularity.... I cant see it will really have an effect...but then again who knows.

Apparantly some incident in the car causes it to go off road, travel through forest and come to a stop on the line.

Ahhhhh, thanks for that watchZero. I wasnt sure what the lead up to the incident would be.

 

[WatcherZero]

Lets call it the Dr Kimble 'Fugitive Scenario'

 

[shinkansen1966]

Personally, I'd prefer a more realistic storyline. An Emmerdale character spends an infuriating 20 mins on their home PC trying to find a bargain XC fare from (nearby) Leeds to Exeter to visit an agricultural show in Devon.

The character then goes on a rail fare-rage induced rampage. In one graphic scene he fires an airgun randomly whilst madly screaming "oh why, can't we go back to blue day savers and white day savers...."

Update on the Corrie crash.

Coronation Street tram crash ‘to cost £1m’, take 10 weeks to film

Thursday, 30 September 2010

The tram-crash plotline that’s due to hit Coronation Street in time for the record-breaking soap’s 50th anniversary is reportedly set to involve the most expensive shoot in soap history.

According to press reports today, the crash has been budgeted at around £1m, while executive producer Phil Collinson has said that it will take ten weeks to film the five episodes timed to mark the 50th milestone.

Speaking to the Daily Star, he said that the show had received “a significant amount of extra money from ITV for this stunt (the crash)," but added that it was “not enough, it's never enough."

He stressed that the plot would help create “a spectacular set of episodes," saying of the time involved in the shoot:

"To give you some idea, we usually film five episodes in 12 days. But for the 50th we will be filming five episodes in 10 weeks.

“It's basically the pace of a big drama."

Collinson, who was central to the start of the show’s celebrations last week (courtesy of a huge street party), added “I can't tell you how excited I am."

The crash plot has been shrouded in secrecy so far, although it is known that it will result in the departure of several key characters to the soap cemetery in the sky.

In other news, the Corrie Facebook page has now surpassed the 500,000 followers mark.

Apparently they've ( ie Corrie ) block booked the entire hotel that overlooks the set in order to prevent anyone getting any hints as to what exactly is involved in the story line ( apart from the obvious, of course! )

Makes sense, loads of videos online of people filming Captain America filming next door including exploding cars and other stunts.

Just watched Emmerdale now for the first time in about 8 years. All in all the train bit lasts about 3 seconds... I want an hour of my life back!

Blink and you missed it!

Now that would be good, an accidental tactical strike on Emmerdale, Weatherfield and Albert Square that wipes out all residents and makes the places uninhabitable for at least 1000 years.

A soap about a post apocalyptic wasteland would be far more interesting than than the existing Emmerdale, "next week on Nukemdale, Stacie gives birth to a baby with two heads."

 

[WatcherZero]

There was that drama wasnt there, woman who plays Ruth in Spooks, a train is sealed in a tunnel and its passengers cryogenically frozen to emerge after the apocalypse. What was it called?

Some pictures of 1015 temporarily reliveried as Politanlink 1030 for Corrie filming.

Apparantly they used vinyls rather than repainting.

Will that then be re branded to say Metrolink and put into service with the correct number?

 

[MCR247]

That looks absolutely horrible!

 

[starrymarkb]

It does - really shows how dated the front end is looking (Sheffield's trams built a couple of years later have aged far better)

Sheffield trams look like they have a tire strapped to the front

 

[mumrar]

How dare you lot trick me, I read picture of 1015 and thought it was a Western, not a bloody tram!

 

[starrymarkb]

I've just realised the appalling pun of [Metro]PolitanLink aswell
