Steam loco 1210 in movie



Just a note to advise readers interested in seeing movie scenes involving
old trains that filming took place on the Michelago Tourist Railway between
12 and 16 May. Steam Loco 1210 of 1878 vintage, three end-platform cars
(built 1908-12) and a van were involved in scenes shot along this scenic
line.  

The film, entitled 'Passion' is based on the life of the internationally
famous eccentric Australian composer and concert pianist Percy Grainger,
who lived from 1882 -1961.

No doubt the film will attract plenty of publicity when it is released.
