Like a foxI've just found (via the related section) my all time favourite video on YouTube, here's part one of two:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5kLJdCEgU4 I'm sure you will like it too. |

I have the vid Si on my British Steam collection DVDs, also the night mail and many pre-war training films on how not to fire and how to load wagons, i agree they are very informative and an insight in a lost age of travel.... |

Simon - what can I say? You're a star, thanks for posting that, there was a tear in my eye!
Like Mike I've got it on video tape, but I hadn't realised, stupidly, that it was Silver Fox on the train!!!!!! An absolute classic bit of film from a bygone age when you could understand train announcements, men in hats and wearing ties help load up the resturant car, raw meat could be stacked above the cakes and all the diners come down with salmonella! Of course, some of it could have been 'staged' perhaps? D'yer think? Maybe? 
Great stuff, thoroughly enjoyed it!

Brilliant Simon, thanks for that. Took me straight back to holiday train journeys when I was a boy (I was seven when the film was made  ).
Admittedly our train journies were from Paddington on the "Cornish Riviera", not Kings Cross on the "Elizabethan", but the atmosphere was the same. If we behaved we had tea on the train. Waiters in white jackets, silver tea pots and mini pots of jam - great times. |

At Amberley's Rail Gala I met a gent who filmed this! I spent a good half hour talking to him, I'd have loved to have spent more time talking about it and the BTF but I had to relieve a crew. |
