How Strange That As We Are Just Getting To The Half Way Stage In The Poirot DVD's We Are Watching,
than actor David Suchet who plays Hercule Poirot,
is featured on the real life Orient Express, many times Agatha Christie herself travelled on the Orient Express as she headed east to undertake archaeological digs with her second husband, Max Mallowan,
In 1929, the train was trapped in a snowdrift for ten days, 60 miles from Istanbul, the story became front-page news and captured the imagination of Christie and gave her the starting point for her novel, published five years later, in the book, the train is halted by a snowdrift and the victim, 13 suspects and Poirot are trapped inside a carriage,
like many a school boy David wanted to be a train driver and here is his chance, David steers the train towards the Italian border under the watchful eye of driver Wolfgang Grassebner, if only it was a steam train! speaking of which, Robert I tried the link but it did not work, please email me and I will send you my email address and look at the pictures that way.
