For several months there has been some speculation concerning the introduction of two Hornby train packs under the sub brand title of ‘Trains on Film’ which both featured, in one form or another the L&MR No.57 ‘Lion’ and associated rolling stock.

The films concerned were ‘The Lady with a Lamp’ and ‘The Titfield Thunderbolt’.
