Hi Daniel,
The young lady is an actor, we do have some lady members that are drivers. The locomotive is petrol hydraulic with vacuum brakes. The young lady was a quick learner having had about 15 minutes tuition. It isn't a difficult locomotive to drive, there were no other trains on the system and she wasn't driving over any of the grades. With a loaded train and wet rails it can be difficult to stop exactly where you wish. We have two open days as it is a Bank Holiday this weekend, maybe we should have asked her to come and play.
Take care Tony.

That's great Tony ..... I hope it gives your club some good exposure and brings in an appreciative crowd!
Was the young gal being featured actually a member of your club, or the film crew? Seems she knew what she was doing operating the engine, so I'm hoping she is a club member.

Hi,
Instead of playing in my shed on Tuesdays with a friend I often go and do some work on the garden railway of the model club we both belong to. Today we had a visit from a film crew that were making a Welsh language programme for four to six year old children as we are both in our second or even more childhood we thought we would attend. A bit of a video of the event attached.
Take care Tony.
