 It would be best to use Amtrak power.

I have a special HO Amtrak set that is a tribute to a friend of minewho passed away last year right before the fair (he owned a matchingcar that is in this train) that I would like to run for the shoot, butdon’t have any Amtrak power. Is it ok to run it behind my UP 1943locomotive or is there someone that can lend me their modern-era Amtraklocomotive(s)?

   Hello all 
  Thank you for all that showed up Friday and Saturday to cleanthe layout in preparation for the photo shoot with TSG Multimedia. Regrettably I was not able to show either day due to work and gettingready for a business trip that I will be on all next week, coming homeon Saturday (the day of the photo shoot).   
  Just a reminder, this is a photo shoot that has the very realpotential to be seen world wide!  Who ever is showing up that Saturdayto help with this great endeavor pleas bring your best running AND bestappearing equipment.  We need to make our club look good, no missinghand rails, lights working, appropriate paint and so on.  The operatingrules will be in affect, run prototypically.  By prototypically I meanrun scale appropriate speeds, appropriate equipment and so on.  I havelearned that when I am taking video of my trains, sometimes what looksgood to the eye turns out to be warp speed on film.  To quote SpaceBalls "They've gone plad!"  So please no "plad" trains.   Whatever yourpower is, run equipment behind it that is appropriate for that era. There are guide lines as far as era is concerned in the operating rulesthat have been voted in.   
  Follow the photographers' instructions, I am sure most of ushave seen their videos before, they are good at what they do.  Assumethat when they are there it is not going to be a free run.  Odds aretrains will be staged and run on cues for the sake of the video, inother words hold off camera and on the given cue run it through theshot, but above all listen to instruction, the shots are planned, aretrains are now actors.  The videos I have seen, follow one train aroundthe layout with a few meets thrown in.  That one train NEEDS to runwell with ideally no issues. 
  Who ever is showing Saturday for the shoot, I have herd thatthe shoot is starting at 10.  Please show up at 9 if you can to set upand clean track.  If you have a track cleaner in your train make sureit is in good working order, looks respectable, AND is eraappropriate!  Remember we are trying to replicate the real world.
