From England's Lake District: https://www.timesandstar.co.uk/news/181 ... come-cafe/ Quote: The full-size replica of a French SNCF Class 241 [4-8-2] train was the set of the [2017] film Murder On The Orient Express and it is due to be turned into a café, together with the former station building.

We’ve seen the “Murder on the Orient Express” movie that this mockup locomotive was built for. Until seeing these links, I had no idea it was a mockup locomotive that was this extensive. Frankly, I assumed the locomotives in the movie was either computer generated or a real engine that was made to look like it could run, as the scenes in the film were clearly not of a real running steam locomotive. I'm very glad to hear this went to a good home! Thanks for posting this. |

Those links don't tell much, if anything about the plans for it, and how was it built? The locomotive running gear from a derelict engine or built from scratch? the coaches, modified existing surplus rolling stock or scratch built?? Movie sets aren't usually designed for longevity, let alone outside exposure. |

Interesting, if you see this production shot, you can tell the wheels aren't even touching the rails: http://leboudoirdevesper.fr/wp-content/ ... /train.jpg |

Cool looking locomotive even if it is fake. Don’t typically see many French engines. |
