Corrections
- Locomotive No.4 was constructed by Manning & Wardle, not the makers mentioned in the film.
- It seems I have mispronounced 'Wenhaston', despite my best efforts! I have it on good authority, now, that when Wenhaston is said, the 'H' is silent and the 'A' is changed to an 'I' - thus it is pronounced: 'Weniston'
