A convicted murderer recalls his past life
This biopic charts the life and experiences of Larry Winters, a violent, drug addicted member of the Barlinnie Special Unit in Scotland. One childhood flashback scene was filmed on the Strathspey Railway at Boat of Garten station, with ex-LMS Class 5MT ‘Black Five’ 4-6-0 No.5025 making an appearance on a short two-coach train. There are a couple of scenes filmed onboard a Mk1, and then another run-by of the train towards the end. The station masquerades as ‘Carbisdale’, and among the stock visible in background is the unique North British Railway Non-Corridor Bogie Lavatory Third No.1748. Built in 1905 it is last known surviving NBR non-corridor compartment coach.
