It was many years ago that I saw the film as a youngster when the first time my old school ever let us out on a day trip. I don't love the whimsy or the humour but love the trains. It is so well done that most on locations and it looks good even now, especially the colour. I had forgotten that Jack MacGowran was in it with the wonderful coach and of course in many films including his Polanski ones with Cul-de-Sac and The Fearless Vampire Killers and then The Exorcist the year he died. It was also good to see Sid James who had a decent part for one of his early films. I loved the trains especially the famous, Lion, but It is the steam I really remember and it looked so good.
