The award-winning Museum of Rail Travel at Ingrow, owned by the Vintage Carriages Trust, is helping to put tomorrow's film makers in the picture.

The museum has provided vintage railway carriages for over 50 cinema and television productions, including Nicole Kidman's forthcoming film The Hours, Gwyneth Paltrow's forthcoming film Possession, and the acclaimed BBC TV series The Way We Live Now and The Cazalets.

Now the museum is offering its facilities and collection to aspiring media professionals from Stockport College who are filming the location drama No Man's Land, written by Mike Cummins, as part of their Media Production Course.

Students from Stockport College have shot sequences for the film using the Vintage Carriages Trust's historic South Eastern and Chatham Railway designed carriage, no 3554, built in 1924.

Council leader Margaret Eaton said: "The Museum of Rail Travel is one of the many cultural and heritage attractions across the district of Bradford.

"We must make sure the rest of the world knows the breadth and depth of the content of Bradford's bid for Capital of Culture. Many film-makers have already used the district in movies and documentaries and this is sure to grow".

Paul Holroyd, of the Vintage Carriages Trust, said: "The VCT has been involved in many large-scale film productions.

"As a registered educational charity we are delighted to assist the media production students as they learn the intricacies of location filming.

"We hope the students enjoyed their experience with us and we very much look forward to working with them in the future when they become established directors, technicians and actors."
