I was never a big Secret Service fan. I do have the full series on DVD ( I suppose for completism!) So I'll have to watch "Last Train to Buffer's Halt" as I can honestly say I don't remember ever seeing it!
The series is certainly an odd one. I struggle with the suspension of disbelief at times what with the cuts from puppets to real people. Seeing the 1/3rd size Model T whizzing along real country roads looks like what it is, a radio controlled model car! It's saving grace for me are the highly detailed model sets .
I suspect Buffer's Halt is probably a must for model railway enthusiasts.

Great pics Scoop. Lovely diorama. The NOVO doesn't look half bad at all does it. Is it exactly the same as the original?
ReplyDeletePretty much, Woodsy, the 'Blue Flyer' name is missing but apart from that it's the same mould.
DeleteLooks like "Bessie" from Jon Pertwee's Dr. Who! :)
ReplyDeleteYes, I think it's just the yellow colour that draws comparisons Scott.
