Railway children film locations on KWVR

[@chrisdenning9540]

I thought there was going to be no gravitas in the “Daddy, my daddy” scene. I knew it wasn’t going to be like the real thing, but, it still had me in tears. What a film. Many, many thanks for making this documentary.

[@christopherbutler7588]

Lovely thank you 😊 one of my favourites films 🎥

[@chrisevans5259]

Love the movie The Railway children, great family favorite of ours growing up in the 1970s and its still a big favorite of many all these !any years later...........Fond memories of my childhood... Great times.

[@airspotters3487]

So nice to think steam is still in charge on these rails all these years later from when it was first opened in 1867. My dad was on the railways 47 years and when i see s team locomotive I always think of him on the footplate....

[@johnkerr1953]

One trimendous video of the Railway children , l have thurly enjoyed this great video, also many thanks to everyone who made this great video 👍👍

[@ianbrown4308]

Great watching the original sets .must visit some time.brilliant movie.

[@davidforster8654]

Rather poetic and so typically British, well put together for a little nostalgic look back nearly half a century on. Highlights what a beautifully made film The Railway Children is. Well done sir!

[@lorrieleaver2447]

One of my favourite films ever. Even now I cry when I hear “Daddy, my daddy “ Many moons later I saw that Sally Thomsett was on Twitter and she flowed me back immediately so she has become a good friend 🫶🏼☺️💫

[@milesbrown8016]

Right on track 🚂 … Well done

[@emmaoconnor3928]

I lived in Mr Perks cottage as a child, the house next door was built since the film was made.

[@Evan.harrison]

Wow

[@michaelcollett1175]

enjoy the video , also film make in 1970 ,as family we managed have ride on the train as was on holiday in keighley ,beautiful part of yorkshire dales

[@perrywilson2897]

i was 5yrs old when this filmed

[@user-cv6fp2gy3s]

Lovely,I think this was my favourite film, loved Jennifer agutter, she was a natural and still is... I still get excited when it comes on now 😊 love watching the locations, I lived across from a railway station as a child whenever it was coming we use to run across the road to watch it go by, and get lost in the smoke. , there's just something about a steam train

[@johnturnbull3361]

Jenny agutter was just so perfect for the film and with all the inocence that went with it and to this day i still watch the film over and over again,because if they ever do a remake the actors would be covered in tattoos and using foul language which would wreck the quality of the bygone era.So top marks steve for doing this for us and we look forward to more of the same if you can manage it. Regards and thanks a bunch J.T.

[@MrKmoconne]

This beautiful land........surely another story like The Railway Children could be inspired by it?

[@atlanta9286]

Some of that location was at Haworth. I adore the place

[@ReelFilmProductions]

No bernard cribbins is he lol, thanks enjoyed that very much

[@stevesoultrain928]

I’m a London train driver but wow this looks so nice I would love to live there 👌🏻👌🏻and drive train

[@pauldelcour]

Wonderful, very interesting.

[@PfadiHH]

I just watched the series and I am delighted to see the sites so well preserved and remembered! EDIT Just realized there is a series in b&w and the newer film. I was indeed referring to the older series....

[@damianward5965]

We live near Llanwrtyd Wells and have used the station whenever possible. When returning from a visit to family we have often reenactment the Daddy my Daddy with our children

[@steveball2279]

The scene was filmed on the approach to the tunnel from the Oakworth side, the same side as the landslide. If you look closely in my film you will see a view from the tunnel towards Oakworth at the point where the landslide was filmed. You will see two low brick walls alongside the track about 100 meters from the tunnel entrance. This is actually the top of a small bridge. This bridge top is visible in the film just after the point that Peter shouts for Bobby to get off the line. Hope this helps

[@davegb99]

I understand from my uncle (who was somehow involved through being a member of Keighley Cine Circle) that the landslide shot was image reversed. I.e. left was right and right was left. The scene with the red petticoats also reversed so the train reversed away from them rather than just stopping in time.

[@PyroColour]

4:02 At this point up to the 4:19 minutes , this railways place is used to record the another movie, _Pink Floyd The Wall._ In the film, a model 8F-8431 locomotive was showed. She is currently in a museum. On this link, we can see the scene where she goes pass: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYSxc6Nqf8pnj68

[@iantrigg1064]

I've been Keighley train station to. Bring the boy's back home. And that's the tunnel where pink puts the bullet on the line...Great journey on steam train

[@prestcoldandy910]

TOTALLY DELIGHTFUL !!!!

[@steveball2279]

Thank you for your kind words Allan.

[@aysh4152]

With my school, I went to these places the film was set on, we went to Mr perks cottage the office and we saw much more like the green dragon train! 😜

[@raymondbegley9431]

[@raymondbegley9431]

[@armygirl2399]

[@coleenmcaleavy2646]

[@Truth_Make_You_Free]

Wow great job. Thank you soooo much.

[@tommagic100]

wow great to c the locations to a movie I grew up watching

[@missyb9438]

You really couldn’t type “see” in full? Two extra letters??🤦🏼‍♀️

[@melcomepay6668]

That's it . I'm moving to YORKSHIRE!

[@stevejones8665]

Blimey I was 11 in 1st year Secondary school when I 1st watched the movie and have only just found out I was lied too. Sally Thomsett wasn't 11 but 20 and Jenny Aguther was 18. They had me totally fooled as a youngster 😊

[@ErnieCG]

Good video

[@DavidWoods-rk8st]

Nice

[@srfurley]

Hard to believe that the film’s fifty years old now. The two girls in the re+creation of the ‘daddy’ scene look a bit older than the characters in the film. Pity the main line to Halifax and Bradford Exchange via Queensbury closed in 1955. Some bridge abutments for that line can still be seen from a passing KWVR train between the site of the junction and Ingrow (West) Station.

[@MarkMahoney]

Nice one Steve!!

[@carolinegray3150]

The actors are good running to their daddy on this video

[@satyendransingh2139]

Great

[@carolinegray3150]

Good

[@26DeislerFCB]

crazy nothing changed in 50 years

[@shakeyhandsshedmodelrailwa2494]

made me shed a tear ,,, remembering jenny aguter and sally thomset as beautiful vibrant young women , they are now pensioners ( still beautiful ) ( as am i ) nearly a pensioner not beautiful ,, poor bernard died just as the new film was released ( wonder if he saw it ) glorious memories but time is such a ruthless bitch on its never ending onwards march

[@andyoncam1]

With other members of my school film society I went to watch the filming a few times. Many years later whilst working as a cameraman on Scrapheap Challenge I shot this take-off of the 'Daddy, my Daddy!' scene. for a railway themed episode. We didnt shoot on the KWVR but used the Forest of Dean Railway in Gloucestershire instead. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5-8q5SHo7OcsLc

[@themeatchannel1134]

Mmmmm....niice, niice !!!

[@stephenborsbey4350]

in the film, if you look carefully in the distance i think you can see a red sports car coming down the hill. which of course would have been impossible in 1905.

[@johnsergei]

Maybe a Mercer Raceabout that was a few years early ? I mean, no body on it?

[@hipercubeiii2879]

4:15 and Pink Floyd The Wall: When Young Pink puts the Bullets on the tracks and the train was coming

[@terencewilliammckenna6121]

There should be a golden jubilee

[@lorenzodesanta1169]

cool

[@missyb9438]

Why so many dislikes?🤦🏼‍♀️

[@JTV84]

just one thing. the landslide was at oakworth end of the tunnel, then surely the petticoat scene was filmed at the Haworth end?

[@johnsalvi6158]

Please show the famous five kirrin cottage and different locations

[@graceonline320]

Pity you didn't put some stills from the film in your video for comparison.

[@johnsalvi6158]

Fog magic book also should be made into a movie Story of Greta who loves to wander in fog

[@harrymcandrew1447]

was that the WD 9F that stormed through at 1:27

[@greenfingersgardener822]

either this film is mirrored, or wrong, as MR perks cottage as a out side lavy, to the right of it, in here, MR perks cottage as a house to the right of it,

[@emmaoconnor3928]

The levy was put there just for the film. When my family lived there there was an out side toilet in the back yard which was called a tippler toilet and as a child I was terrified every time I used it in case I fell down it. 😀

[@emmaoconnor3928]

Sorry the lavy

[@carolinegray3150]

I have a video of the railway children and I have seen the film on tv too

[@fast1919]

watched the film on itv mon 22 dec

[@ajmeast6716]

Me too, love this film. I remember watching it as a child, still as lovely as ever.

[@jennynott3841]

Does anyone live in the house the three chimneys now ? Thank you

[@davids8449]

I thought the film was reasonable only story poor and acting by the children very poor indeed. The remake was even worse. ( Great shame). I was born in 1955 so know a good British film. This film was like plastic.

[@Signals927]

There is always one.

[@alandavidson6055]

What a pity to you, that millions of us disagree !

[@robertsnare1411]

“I was born in 1955 so know a good British film” probably one of the most pompous, illogical and ridiculous comments I’ve ever seen 🙄.

[@johnbennett2259]

I think he's saying it as a wind up. No one can be that pompous...

[@KitWoodrow]

To be fair, the remake was pointless. The 1970 film was perfection and had everything it possibly could have, and being timeless there was no need for the remake. Was the remake a vanity project or something?
