They spent 3 days filming that at Sutton. Chance one of them is my train as I went through the down Pompey platforms several times that weekend. I do find it a little annoying that they couldn't match the trains arriving and leaving!

One of the Northern 150s does make steam engine noises! It's an ex-ATN one that has something fitted for some reason but I can't remember exactly what or why.

Knac*** dump valve somewhere in the air system will make it sound steamey...

Possibly the compressor governor is OOU so it's just compressing till the overpressure blows each time.

This one? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rete8H-8C_0&feature=related

You only see it for a moment, but it does look very much like the same one,. at an Underground station this time. I wonder if it's a sort of standard computer generated image?

No it's this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkfS5NY1gSk&feature=related About 30 seconds in. It seems to start in the uk but the train seems foreign to me then straight after it back in the uk when the bus appears.

0:17 is a class 185, I think. Then he gets in a turquoise Merc Vario.

It is indeed a 185, and specifically 185108

That's the problem with shooting outside ... I guess they had to match the light, and didn't much care about the continuity of the trains.

There is a famous scene in the movie "The Usual Suspects" where a passenger plane landing at LAX suddenly grows two more engines.

Don't get me started about films and aviation, tv and hollywood had no idea how to do it right. Shockingly films which were about aircraft still suffered from awful continuity, or other glaring errors. Finally though they have started to learn and began to get things right.

I suppose the problem was, pre-CGI, availability of the right thing. Now they can have whole squadrons of anything they like, of course, but when they were filimng (for instance) The Battle of Britain they had to equip the RAF entirely with Spitfires because that's all that were available, there was only one airworthy Hurricane I think.

Think they only need 3 or 4 for the MK runs. The rest go anywhere-don't think there are any particular SN roads I havnt worked 200s down.

Only occasionally because there's so few of them in comparison to the other sub-classes (once you allow for those on the MK run, and the fact that FCC have nabbed a few). They're not limited to AC only, the ones not required to run under the wires go wherever they're needed on DC. (Although there is/was one dual voltage unit - it might have been 206 - that is/was DC only for a while as it has/had a problem with the AC equipment and is/was causing problems whenever it goes/went under the wires)

That and the Messerschmitts were Spanish, including having different engines which gave them a different nose shape. The Heinkels were Spanish too, but I don't think there were any noticable differences.

Didn't realise it was such a small number, thought it would of been at least 6 or 8.
