Additional info on the mock up, from 4566 group Facebook
As is common in movies, the scenes are geographically out of sequence on the railway, with Victoria Bridge being south of Arley and Waterworks Crossing being south of Hay Bridge and Eardington.
The day of filming which ended at Waterworks Crossing was the subject of an article by Brian Moone in SVR News 43. All the shots in the film featured the 'real' 4566 apart from the final shot of David Niven being sandwiched between the locomotive’s buffers and the car, for which a wooden mock-up of the front of 4566 was usedmade and mounted on a permanent way trolley, which was pushed by hand to ensure it was stopped in the correct position. Graham Nangreave and Roger Scanlon were the driver and fireman on the day; SVR members Tom McGee and Gilbert Cooke appeared in those roles as 'extras' while other SVR members including Syd Anderson and Columb Howell were also featured.<ref>SVR News 43</ref> The chase sequence can be seen on YouTube.
