I'd rather have seen a good adaptation of the original - H G Wells original setting and characters, directed by someone willing to stick to the source and not ruin it. The Jeff Wayne musical version is pretty close to the original and is also rather good - I was amused to see it climbing back up the album charts recently as I've had a copy for a few years now! <br /> <br />I think I may be able to say where the "flaming train" scene came from - anyone who's read the original will remember the last minutes of the Ironclad "Thunderchild" which rammed a tripod despite being hit by a heat ray and heavily damaged.
