During the summer we were asked by the BBC children’s section if we could assist with close up shots of a steam loco 🚂 as they were making a new film called the (Primrose Railway Children).
We assisted with this at several locations, in Glasgow studios and at St Fillans for an outdoor shoot.
The programme has now been released 👀 and is available on the IPlayer and will also be shown on BBC1 during the holidays.
We must have been involved with over five hours of filming 📹 but it looks like most if it has ended up on the cutting floor. If you know what you are looking 👀 for you will see Cairhill dressed up as the BoNess for close up work. All Cairnhill’s brass work was blackened to make it look more like the real loco used.
A big thank you 🙏 to Jay who did all the preliminary work.
Link to the BBC site or look it up on the iplayer.
