I would certainly dispute that the Peppercorn A2 class were the most powerful Pacifics on British Railways. The ex-LMS Princess and Duchess classes were far more powerful, and were much bigger and heavier machines. In comparison the A2s were mere light-weights. Don't know who wrote this script, but they got that wrong.
May I know when was all these trains was film, was it filmed from those era or it was filmed in recent times the recomission of the train for the enthusiast hobbyist.
