British film nostalgia grows with release of a rolling stock triple-pack for 'OO', celebrating names from the 1953 'flick'.

Rapido Trains is to manufacture a triple-pack of The Titfield Thunderbolt-inspired wagons (SKU922004). The pack utilises existing forthcoming Rapido UK tooling, seeing previously unannounced liveries, and includes: an ‘Iron Mink’ van in Valentine & Taylor Wines & Spirits livery, a 1907 seven-plank open wagon in Titfield Coal Company livery and a 1907 five-plank open wagon in Pearce & Crump livery. 

RRP for the triple-pack is £99.95, with orders being taken until May 26, 2023. The new pack is endorsed by Studiocanal, which owns the rights to The Titfield Thunderbolt.Rapido Trains Titfield Thunderbolt wagon pack

Lovely Idea, I remember the film so well (I am 76). Hurls me back to an era when I was a child & everything was an adventure. Much too expensive for me to buy though.......
