Episode 2, “Last Train to Hell and Back” included scenes at the fictional “Empire Steam Preservation Railway” which were filmed on the SVR. The opening titles featured 6960 Raveningham Hall running at night. In another night-time sequence filmed at Kidderminster, pannier tank 5764 was required to run over the "victim", a stuntman who leaped out of the way just in time, to the relief of the footplate crew! 42968 and The Great Marquess also took part in this sequence which can be seen around 16 minutes into ‘Part 2’ below.[2]
