Epping Ongar Railway has preserved its stations and carriages since closing in the 1990s.<\/p>\n
Its authentic appearance has made it a popular go-to spot for film-makers, with it appearing in the TV shows Man vs Baby and Death in Paradise in recent times.<\/p>\n
Bentley said producers had scouted around for locations before choosing to use North Weald station for a scene with US actress Joey King, as well as its train carriage, for filming last summer.<\/p>\n
The final choice for Bullock’s scene was a 1960s British Rail Mark 1 coach.<\/p>\n
“We were the perfect fit for them in terms of what they wanted to film,” said Bentley.<\/p>\n
“We had the countryside and we had the coach that they wanted.”<\/p>\n
He said payment was not six digits, but “quite a high figure”.<\/p>\n
The film-makers also asked him to stick around for a scene, casting him as the train guard with a line of dialogue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Epping Ongar Railway has preserved its stations and carriages since closing in the 1990s.
