Epic Railway Children Return Premiere at Oakworth Station 

Agreed. Whether he was singing songs about digging holes or attacking Daleks with a paintball gun, he always gave his best.

He died

66 years old , and I still have to have the "tissues ready" a soft chap who was influenced by this film the first time I saw it, classic is not the word,....🥲🥲🥲

My thoughts exactly. Bloody Yanks. 🤬

You have to see the film. It will make sense. It doesn’t spoil the original. This is a sequel not a remake and takes place almost 50 years later.

@@mrjel1983 l don't disagree with you on the time frame of the story its the use of a foreign steam engine which have never run on British Railways with the exception of heritage lines. There are dozens of rebuilt British Steam engines in use that could and should have been used. The Railway Children is a classic Film and l'm sorry but l don't like these film makers using poetic license in the wrong places

@@roytandy5812 The film is set during World War Two, when around 400 of the American-built S160 class 2-8-0s were in operation on British railways. All four of the major railway operated at least some of them. So, provided its livery and configuration is correct for the period, the use of 'Big Jim' is perfectly authentic.

@@bruiser3601 Many of the S160 class were shedded at Neville Hill, Leeds so it is possible some of them worked in the Worth Valloey so an S160 may be authentic.

You left out the pressing need to tick boxes and introduce silly elements that simply were not part of the landscape then to satisfy low self esteem groups.

It's a sequel, not a remake.

@@melaniefrontage9217 yea right. Trying to recapture the past magic and ruining it by trying to tick boxes and introduce 21st century neurosis’s by having to include groups that just were not part of the landscape back then. I’m surprised that they didn’t include a wheel chair and a confused grandfather who sewed frocks for victory.

They did right not touching this remake/sequel with a bargepole...

Nobody is forcing you to watch it.

@@melaniefrontage9217 and no body is forcing every movie these days set in a period time to include a raft of minority groups to please 21st century neurotic needs instead of just admitting that maybe; they don’t feature largely in the period. And bad luck.

When we have a generation virtual bankrupt of ideas and unable to write anything half decent without piggy backing off something worse least they offend some group.

The one with Gillian Bailey?

Hi im glad you enjoyed the video, the first song is called Hard times come again no more, the middle song is Salute to a new beginning. Followed by a song called And Awakens-Stings. They are all RU-vid Studio audio songs fitting the video nicely. Cheers.....

@@jonathanwood2737 Thanks for your very quick reply . I will check these pieces out . All the best , Mark .

But in those days there were hardly any black people in England.

@@col4574 Well the film showed them all - can't get more inclusive than that!

Aren't all films?

@@TheSeafordian In essence I guess yes. However some it would appear are 100% about making money and little else.

Sad fact nowadays that films that don't have a diverse cast (however incongruous) just don't get made.

You are right. Nothing wrong with promoting black people's and women's rights but is this really the platform to do it? (no pun intended)

You can tell it's American without hearing the whistle...

I’ve yet to hear a decent America train whistle
