Basically we try to take American designs of big locomotives and then fit them into a loading gauge similar to that found in the UK. Not easy.... We have stolen a few British designs, the XPT in particular should look quite familiar to you.
A little Doppler and some speed and those pie carts are almost impressive. I noticed the effect of the ditch lights on the 80. Some of the stills boys have been moaning about them affecting their shots.
Very cool video, great concept and beautifully filmed & edited. I enjoyed it a lot.

Great video! What horn is on the N Class locomotives? Sounds very similar to the Leslie RS3-L's that Conrail units wore over here.

The N class have roof mounted Leslie S-5T horns which you'll hear in these clips. They also have a low note underfloor horn that is much quieter.

Very nice Doppler effect on the V/locity horn!

The camera location was right near the "sound horn for level crossing" sign so there's plenty of doppler effects thoughout the movie.
