New Bachmann releases

Just like the ones portrayed on Heartbeat. In a recent episode, a sheep farmer was victimised because he came from Lancashire.

Not as if they're all local in Heartbeat, but the programme doesn't depict the Yorkshire Dales anyway - it's North York Moors, much of which is in Cleveland these days! ;-)

I'd never heard of it until I was back in the UK for the hols and rode on the North York Moors Railway. They were filming a beautifully turned out standard class 4 tank, train and passengers in 1960s dress at Grosmont while I was waiting for the train.

I think most of the actors were from the Leeds area where it was shot, but no more since Granada/ITV PLC shut down the Yorkshire Television studios.

Except that Heartbeat is set in 1969 (and has been for over 10 years), and there were no steam trains running then.

Like I said, I've never seen the show. But there were staff telling people what they were shooting and keeping them away from the action.

Been watching it on and off the last few weeks. Isnt it only a year out with scheduled steam, would have thought was further out with Teddy boys and some of the music being nearer early 70's. Tonights episode had a derailment, all very low key and nice - think that and the music is why like it.

The more I think about it then the more confused by their decision to go for a 7F from the commercial point of view, not complaing just confused. Can see the first batch selling well but after that will it be worth doing another full run. OK they reached late BR, but small class, no livery changes, believe theyre not widespread distribution. Not iconic - except for a small dedicated (vocal) following. Can anyone explain ?

Cheers, Simon

Its ok as this has steam trains (there was a diesel tonight as well, supposed to be a snow plough but couldnt see any such artifice). Someone needs to monitor it for correctness.

I sometimes take a break from playing with model trains.

I'm not sure about the correctness of the food price list in the bar. It advertises sausage rolls for 3d, pasties for 4d and sandwiches for 1/6.
