ALR to be in a music video

Before we started running today, I had some fun helping in the making of a music video for a band called Burning Hank, their myspace page can be found at: http://www.myspace.com/burninghank Basicly what was happening is I had to drive a train towards a girl tied to the track, then the band were to save her, and tie the villian to the front of the train. The director chose Druid to use, it being quite big and looks very 'train-like'. When i arrived some of the none-train scenes were being filmed:

Me, Druid, and Simon, who was playing the Villian and was tied to the front of Druid. Yes they gave me a hat to wear.

Some filming with the train static:

The first few passenger trips were run with Druid, but it was such a nice sunny day it was getting rather too warm for me in the cab, the loco was also feeling the heat, the radiator fan having to run to cool it down. (Usually Druid can run all day without the fan coming on.)

Then I switched to using Atlas, which ran very well and its open cab is a welcome feature in nice weather.
The bottom of the gearbox sump has also been welded onto the rest of it, It needs a lot more welding before it'll be oil tight, but now this part is on there is no more compnents to go on the new gearbox sump, only holes to cut out of it.
