    • Quotes
      • [Robson meets Sir William McAlpine who rescued Flying Scotsman and brought her back to the UK after Alan Pegler's ill-fated tour of the USA left her stranded there when Pegler went bankrupt]
      • Robson Green: I'll be honest with you, I've never come across a place quite like this. It's got a train station along with a steam engine. Bill, you're the first person I've ever met who's got a steam engine in their back garden. Are you addicted to steam engines?
      • Sir William McAlpine: Oh, definitely an addiction, I would say. I was interviewed once by a fellow and he said "In Sweden we call people like you train-sexuals".
      • [they laugh]
    • Crazy credits
      In the "thanks" section of the credits, the Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railway was wrongly credited as "Ffestiniog & West Highland Railway".
