All sorts.of tax fiddles in the film industry. Not all of of them legit, if you want a good laugh, Google "Ingenious HMRC"Sounds like a lot of effort and money in a world where CGI exists. Maybe they write it off against tax?
Indeed. And even now, you can usually tell, although I haven't seen anything as rubbish as that in "Titanic" for a long time. Some of that was truly shocking, even in the day.High quality CGI isn’t cheap.
Make sure that you have good, comprehensive fire insurance if you use the Fell diesel......Sounds like a lot of effort and money in a world where CGI exists. Maybe they write it off against tax?
Anyway, I’m off to write a blockbuster that requires the LMS twins, the Fell locomotive, a class 22, a class 13 and two 4DD trailer coaches...

Mission Impossible isn’t historical though is it? How backward do they think the Poles are?!I think the posts about the loco later going abroad are true. On Wiki, searching Mission Impossible 7 there are reports about a railway bridge in Poland to be blown up, presumably with this engine on it at the same time.

Tom Cruise is currently in the UK filming MI 7, so you never know. He's been flying his own helicopter around so keep an eye out for choppers landing near LoughboroughI think the posts about the loco later going abroad are true.

The actual filming will apparently take place overseas but the "loco" would have to have been built to the British loading gauge if it was being tested on the Great Central Railway.
A common myth. Many years ago I contacted them about testing a continental coach which we were fitting out as a track recording vehicle. We would have had to pay for removing and replacing several sets of platform coping stones. It eventually went to the Nene Valley where it could be run without infrastructure changes.Wasn‘t the GCR built (or at least originally planned to be built) to continental loading gauge, to connect with the then proposed channel tunnel?
I think a Scania engine was mentioned upthread?Posts on Facebook show the loco manged to reach Rothley today, with the help of a Peak, there are rumours of a diesel engine in the tender of the mystery loco.
To go OT. Was that the vehicle for Spain? I did a second-mans turn during the testing of that.A common myth.

Yes.To go OT. Was that the vehicle for Spain? I did a second-mans turn during the testing of that.
Thanks. I'll have to dig the photo of it out. I seem to recall it was a nuisance to get under to couple at one end, because of the generator exhaust pipe.Yes.
That sounds interesting. I don’t suppose you could post a link could you?From elsewhere I note that the mystery Britannia lookalike has now arrived by sea in Norway, along with some Orient Express coaches, I have no knowledge whether the coaches are replicas or genuine.
