Saturday Film Club: Emett special



We start with a well-made documentary on Rowland Emett's "A Quiet Afternoon in the Cloud Cuckoo Valley" - which is now owned by the National Railway Museum and currently on display at Shildon.

Then we head over to the Brockhampton & Umbridge Railway Preservation Society's Emett Collection, where we have Emett inspired models in G scale.

There is a collection of Emette creations at the Ontario Science Center in Toronto, but they only come out in December and January. One big one of the Early Morning Milk Train and lots of smaller ones, including IIRC the toot Sweet machine.

Emett was one of my early influences -- one of his books was one of very few railway books in my hometown library.

Someone said that Emett drew trains as they should have been.
