Watching this video last night -


surprised to see a short clip of a train at 03.06-7 hauled by what?

It talks about being SE London, not that that usually means anything to film makers, but it looks as if it might be a SECR 4-4-0 - a D, D1 or E, E1 perhaps?

Could be a D1, E1, L or L1 -- I can't see enough to tell the difference between them. Probably taken no later than 1959/1960.

It's a D1 or E1, the Maunsell cab but no side window (I think) distinguishes it.
The train is Restriction 1 (possibly 0) stock and it has old-style window labels (non smoking?).
Both these confirm an ex SECR location - the two classes survived in London because of weak bridges on the line out of Holborn. Unfortunately they've all been rebuilt so I can't identify the location :(
