Train enthusiasts have hit out after a new Exhibition Train launched to mark 200 years of the National Railway has been fitted with an American whistle.
After listening to a segment of Broadcasting House that featured the Railway 200 Exhibition Train, a railway fan spotted the vital mistake.
Nigel Wilson told the BBC show 'It sounded very American to me, the low tone and in particular the bells ringing in the background on the original clip is something you hear in North American railways, not something you hear in the UK.
'So, it was a bit of a shame that we have got a whistle from the other side of the Atlantic when we're celebrating the UK's 200 years.'
As part of celebrations to mark 200 years of the National Railway the Exhibition Train called Inspiration will be embarking on a year-long tour of Britain.
