Is it ok to run it behind my UP 1943 locomotive or is there someone that can lend me their modern-era Amtrak locomotive(s)?

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