Very good Gavin; did you use an ordinary Camcorder for the Guard's view, or a miniature camera?

Thanks Gavin.  A lesson in how to drive trains too!  Didn't they run well - no thumps and bumps at all - dead smooth.

I was impressed with how smooth they ran.  Only once did we have problems and that was off camera.

I used a Samsung S3 phone to do the filming.  Its just the right size to sit on the buffers for the Guards eye view.  Just put it on the buffers secured with an elastic band.
