<p>Have you ever watched one of those Italo-Western movies? Take an Italian 0-6-0 T, add a dummy pilot with front wheel and cow catcher and think it is a true US prototype 2-6-0!</p> <p>It´s not only that the folks in Hollywood have little to no knowledge of railroads and railroad history, it´s the movie makers all over the world .</p> <p>There is a movie about the Great Train Robbery of 1961, when the infamous Ronald Biggs and his gang robbed a Royal Mail train in the UK. Filmed in Gemany, the train was pulled by a German Diesel loco, sporting a Deutsche Bundesbahn logo, and stopping at a German-style signal.</p> <p>The most common mistake is to show locos and rolling stock which were built decades after the era the movie is supposed to be set in.</p>
