The Belstone Fox

[Pyreneenguy]

I've just been watching a favourite childrens film from the 70's : The Belstone Fox http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069776/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

There is a scene where the pack of fox-hounds have a nasty encounter with a goods-train, hauled by a class 35 Hymek. From what I can gather, the scenes where shot near Crowcombe on the now West Somerset Railway. The line closed to all traffic in 1971, so I presume the use of the line was negotiated with B.R.

Does anyone have any further information about this ?

It would also be interesting to hear of any of films that made use of closed lines/stations ?

Well, it was a bit of a long-shot !

The perfect example would be The Titfield Thunderbolt, made on the Hallatrow to Camerton and Limpley Stoke branch.

And Oh! Mr Porter!on the Basingstoke and Alton light railway.

Also, I don't think that the KVWR had started running a passenger service when The Railway Children was filmed, so technically the line was closed at the time.

IIRR that would be Octopussy. Goldeneye also used an armour plated class 20 and i think that was the NVR as well.
