lt;pgt;Titfield Thunderbolt Deluxe Pack 922001lt;/pgt; lt;pgt;lt;spangt;Rapido Trains UK is delighted to reveal a range of models inspired by lt;/spangt;lt;emgt;The Titfield Thunderboltlt;/emgt;lt;spangt; that will be available in time to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the film’s release in 2023. These will be the most accurate lt;/spangt;lt;emgt;The Titfield Thunderboltlt;/emgt;lt;spangt; models ever produced and are being developed with full co-operation of STUDIOCANAL, which owns the rights to this seminal railway film.lt;/spangt;lt;/pgt; lt;pgt;lt;spangt;lt;emgt;The Titfield Thunderboltlt;/emgt; tells the story of group of villagers determined to save their branch line after British Railways announces its closure. When a rival bus company sabotages the newly acquired train prior to an official inspection, the villagers resurrect the line’s first locomotive, lt;emgt;Thunderboltlt;/emgt;, and, against great odds, obtain permission to keep their line open.lt;/spangt;lt;/pgt; lt;pgt;lt;spangt;The story was inspired by the group of enthusiasts, led by Tom Rolt, who took over the 2ft 3in gauge Talyllyn Railway in 1951 and thus kick-started the railway preservation movement. The film was the first of Ealing Studios’ famous ‘Ealing comedies’ to be filmed in colour and it was released in March 1953.lt;/spangt;lt;/pgt;
