This is a long shot, responding to a 2002 posting, but can I ascertain the correct identification of the 0-6-0T "Victoria"? <br /> <br />According to Huntley ("Railways on the Screen"), it was a Beyer Peacock formerly called "Empress of India". However a posting on this forum identifies it as built by Kerr Stuart in 1900 for FC Andaluces (later RENFE). <br /> <br />I'm puzzled as although Kerr Stuart built quite a few 0-6-0T locos for Spain, I can't find a record of any supplied to FC Andaluces (or its antecedants); likewise BP supplied locos to this company but not 0-6-0Ts. (I'm going by builder's lists, I've not found a full list for FC Andaluces). <br /> <br />Has anyone a definitive builder's number for this locomotive? <br /> <br />(I guess I ought to watch the DVD now!) <br /> <br />[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by M636C</i> <br /><br />I should also comment on "Flame over India". In Australia, and in the UK, as far as I am aware, this movie was called "North West Frontier" (which may have meant more in the UK). The trains in this movie are particularly interesting. The "Last Train" from the fort was a genuine metre gauge Indian 4-4-0 and matching train. The 0-6-0 tank "Victoria", was a Spanish RENFE broad gauge locomotive, a 1900 Kerr Stuart formerly with the Andaluces railway. It was fitted with a dummy "ABC" ("meat-chopper") coupler on the front (a feature of the Indian metre gauge), but the screw couplers and buffers on the rest of the train show up in the movie. The best scene is where the Spanish Broad gauge train rolls slowly through the Indian metre gauge station past the metre gauge train on which all the passengers had been killed. Peter <br />[/quote]
