The life of British silent-movie comedian Charlie Chaplin

This brilliant and very moving biographical comedy-drama includes one scene filmed at London St Pancras station with Southern Railway coaches present, and a passing shot filmed on the Bluebell Railway with the line’s Southern Railway Maunsell-designed Q Class 0-6-0 No.541. The coaches in the St Pancras scene were borrowed from the Bluebell Railway, this being the first time that rolling stock had left the Bluebell for a filming contract elsewhere.

The passing shot filmed on the Bluebell Railway. This is not entirely accurate for a train set in 1921 as the Q Class 0-6-0 at the front was not built until 1939.
The boat train bringing Charlie Chaplin to London has arrived at St Pancras, which was never a Southern Railway station, though it is nice to think Chaplin traveled Third Class.
