An all time great from `way back..."The General" with Buster Keating. Watch for the bit where he is sitting on the connecting rod/beam(?) while the loco moves off. No computer generated trickery there. Made in nineteen canteen but comes up on TV occasionally. B&W of course.

How about the old black and white film "Oh, Mr Porter" with Will Hay?

First time I saw that I was in tears of laughter! I'll have to dig out the vid and have another look!

Well I'm only 16 and I've got that on a video and I've also seen the Titfield Thunderbolt several times, which I just love! I've also seen Thomas and the Magic Railroad, no offence to any Americans here, but I think they have made an originally British idea into a rather American influenced one. Not that I like Thomas or anything

But I have to say that my favourite all time would be The Titfield Thunderbolt closely followed by Oh! Mr Porter!

Another brain-wracker...what was the one with Burt Lancaster as the yard master at a French railway marshalling yard during WW2. Resistance V Nazis, bombing by RAF, lots of rail action. Black and white, made a while after that war. Filmed in France but not a French film if you see what I mean.
