Very interesting, and informative. There's a reversed print at 2:11! The engine is different too! Looks like continuity wasn't a strong point. Great scenes of the countryside as it was. I notice that there's some LMSR and some BR liveries, which puts us into mid 1948 for the timing, although I think some shots may have been taken during the day and intercut into the film.
