I think this was the film were Jack Warner, who played the engine driver, fell into a turntable pit during filming and injured his back, The excellent "Steam on 35mm" series has the full information.

accident looks so fake, shot in studio with miniature trains.

@24VSenator Was that the crash in which the low loader had grounded on the crossing and couldn't be pulled off it? A complete nightmare. That said I always feel safe in trains....

@SteffanLlwyd Wynns heavy Haulage 100ton transformer under police escort got stuck on HIXON (Staffordshire) level crossing, Electric hauled express crashed into it severing the lowloader from the 2 tractors that were pulling it, there were fatalities!

most steam engines did not have speedos till br days due to the driver knew how fast he was goin by the sound of his engine and rate of chuffs from the engine :)

Top, top film. I know it's easy to mock some of the special effects as not being "wholly convincing" but they'll never spoil a good film. Personally, I love what some of the miniature builders achieved. The model work approaching the crossing at 0:35 is exquisite and the editing to the impact is spot-on. High-speed cameras would have helped give the models some "weight", too! Most films these days though are all top effects and nothing else!!!
