1hr 34mins
Dir: Michael Winner
Starring: Oliver Reed and Michael Crawford

Two brothers plan to steal, borrow and then replace the Crown Jewels

This intelligent ‘Swinging London’ comedy features a good scene close to the beginning that was filmed at London Waterloo. Plenty of coaching stock is visible, along with three locomotives that were contemporary to the period; a green Class 33 diesel, a green ‘Warship’ diesel-hydraulic, and a Class 73 electro-diesel in early blue livery.

As Michael Crawford leaves the platform we get a rather nice glimpse of a Class 73 with headcode 6B. A fairly rare loco to be captured on film.
In this aerial view we get a partially obscured glimpse of a Class 42/43 ‘Warship’ just right of centre
And as Michael Crawford meets Lotte Tarp a Class 33 is visible beyond the ticket gate.
