Loads of A7s in films from 1964
#4
I need to dig deeper on the history of the Pullmans, but the loco is 928 'Stowe', a Schools class that was moved from Beaulieu in 1973 to the East Somerset Railway and then on to the Bluebell, where it entered service in 1981 after restorarion until its boiler certificate lapsed in 1991. It was finally purchased from Lord Montagu in 2000 and is now undergoing full restoration

For those interested, further reading can be found here - https://www.bluebell-railway.co.uk/blueb...stowe.html

Edit: The 3 Pullmans were Fingall, Agatha and Car 35

Fingall apears to be in fine fettle on the Bluebell - https://www.bluebell-railway.co.uk/blueb...ngall.html

Agatha not so much and is languishing awaiting restoration - https://www.flickr.com/photos/28083135@N06/23895793154

And Car 35 may have been destroyed in a fire whilst at Beaulieu after breaking its back when being lifted to be moved along with the others

If anyone has more up to date information, I for one, would be happy to hear it...
