'The Permanent Way' included at least one small anachronism; the [[Arley]] distant signal is briefly visible on the approach to Victoria Bridge. Such signals were not installed until later in the nineteenth century.
===Clear Ahead===The second story (three episodes) is set in 1906 during the Edwardian era, when the now-elderly Robbie is the signalman at [[Highley]], and his grandson George is about to start work as a porter at the station. Most of the action in 'The Permanent Way' was filmed around Highley station. [[4566]] served as a locomotive of that era, having been repainted with 'Great Western' on the tank sides for filming.<ref>SVR News 52</ref> The locomotive appeared both with its own number and as classmate 4506. The "GWR carriages" seen were three [[Ex-Longmoor Saloons]] which were on loan to the SVR from the Army Trust, having previously being in service at the Longmoor Military Railway. All three were repainted in GWR colours for filming purposes with permission of the Army Trust. The carriages were:<ref>SVR Stock Book Seventh Edition</ref>*Family Saloon, Army 3006 (originally SECR 177 and later SR 7913) built at Ashford in 1907*Family Saloon, Army 3007 (originally LSWR 11 and later SR 7803) built at Eastleigh in 1910 (both used in the passenger trains)*6-wheel Saloon, Army 3005 built at Wolverton in 1910 and believed to have been used by LNWR CME George Whale (used in the 'royal train').
