    I have Ships with Wings, not the best advert for Ealing and I have heard of The Goose Steps out but the others are a mystery to me. Are they worth collecting?

    Barnacle Bill is much like The Titfield Thunderbolt except instead of a train there's a pier and it's in b/w. Train of Events is a not-bad portmanteu film about, well, just guess. The Overlanders from Ealing's Aussie period. There's nothing really outstanding there IMO but it's good for Ealing completists that these are being released especially now you can no longer rely on them being on tv regularly.

    Also released is the one I'm looking forward to having most in my collection from this batch ... A Run for Your Money.

    Train of Events is worth the money just for an excellent early performance from Peter Finch.
