Oh Sam, what a beaty!
Just got my krokodil through the post from Ebay this morning. Absolutely spectacular. Just love those jack shafts. I wonder if it's possible to fit a decoder in it. Will have to wait till after Xmas to find out because it's my wifes Xmas present to me. Not that she knows yet.

The steam-roller driver was Sid James, can't remember any of the characters names though. I'll have to watch the dvd again.

Stanley Hollaway was the man who put the money up to buy the line because there were no licensing hour restrictions on railway trains.

I may be completely wrong, but is this thread actually all about....the Titfield Thunderbolt?!! It is the only film about trains I've ever seen...one day I turned on the TV and there was a steam engine going down a village high street! It appealed to my deranged sense of humour immensely.

I eagerly await pictures of your crocodile Poliss!!
Why oh why won't anyone do a model of this one below in N scale, excellent though the now dated Arnold offering is? Fleischmann do a green Austrian version and DB ones, which is a very excellent model, but why not one in red? Come on Fleischmann...it's not a new tooling!!

And if they won't to do that, they probably won't be doing this any time soon (nor the locomotive behind it), brilliant though the livery is...

Not a very good pic I'm afraid.
Very nice, I got an HO scale one of these and it's one of my most popular items.

Rocket science is easy compared to the motion of a CE 6/8. After all, you only have to deal with Newton's third law of motion once with a rocket.
