"Alles einsteigen, es geht zum Nordpol, das ist der Polarexpress" …
Der Polar Express? – Nichts ganz, aber so ähnlich, auch wenn’s keine „Baldwin“ ist.
Eine Baldwin war die Lok im Weihnachtsfilm „The Polar Express“ allerdings auch keine, selbst wenn der kleine besserwisserische Junge es in einer der Anfangsszenen behauptet hatte, denn das Vorbild:
“Pere Marquette 1225 is a class "N-1" 2-8-4” “Berkshire” type steam locomotive built in October 1941 for the Pere Marquette Railway (PM) by Lima Locomotive Works in Lima, Ohio. No. 1225 is one of two surviving Pere Marquette 2-8-4 locomotives …
In 2002, Warner Bros. was given copies of the 1225's blueprints, saved from oblivion and donated to the MSURRC by Hank Truer, which were the prototype for the locomotive image, and its sounds were used in the 2004 film The Polar Express. However, the whistle used in the film was provided by steam locomotive Sierra Railroad No.3. … Appropriately enough, the locomotive's road number is the date of Christmas, 12/25.” (aus Wikipedia)
Aber auch eine BR50 im Schneegestöber ist ein tolles Fotomotiv!
