BTW the triumph TR6 is a car, first produced in 1968...

Cheers, Ross

Sorry....but the TR6 designation WAS used for the bikes as well.

Which is exactly correct, except in Britain it was called the Triumph Trophy 650cc. My apologies. I know a bit about the cars, but nothing about the motorcycles

Thanks everyone for the information. I'm going to have to do a bit of digging about that locomotive.
No, the new movie is not the same as the old. Really not the same film at all. But go see for yourself- for a modern western it isn't bad at all. Some of the modern politically correct Westerns on tv are so bad- They are more like left wing feminist campaign films than entertainment. Nothing against left wing, or femenist, just not as entertainment.

Hi All,

I saw the new version of 3:10 to Yuma the other night. I don't want to start a discussion of the movie here, but the director really tried to get the train right at the end. No Union Pacific K27 in 1870 or similar!

Clever camera work prevented a clear side on view of the locomotive, but it appeared to be a 4-4-0. Lettered as the SPRR "SAVAGE" with dark green cab and tender. There was a yellow painted comine, a coach, a boxcar and a wood caboose lettered for the SP.

The small station building was yellow painted and lettered for the town "Contention"

Whilst I am sure that none of these items was exactly right for the 1870s they were a better attempt than Hollywood usually makes.

I guess that the location was the Old Tuscon depot, and the locomotive was probably "Reno", dressed up yet again for the movies, but can anyone confirm this?

If not, what? where? who? when? how? Enquiring minds want to know.
Cheers, Ross
