Railway. B.R. Steam. A small collection of 26 x 35mm, colour slides, all on Agfa film stock. A fascinating selection of slides taken in 1968 at Bartlow, on the former Saffron Walden branch, during the filming of "The Virgin Soldiers". The railways scenes involved a train derailing following the track being blown-up by guerrillas. A real Malayan steam-hauled train was filmed, with the actual wreck scenes being shot mainly at Bartlow but with interior shots filmed at Shepperton Studios. There is a lengthy article on the disused stations website (disused-stations.org.uk) detailing the filming and the scrapping of the loco used in the scenes, namely Black Five 44781. With the accompanying slides and information this would make an excellent article for a talk or magazine article. Rare opportunity. Copyright will pass to the purchaser. Sample illustrated.
