Tornado to Paddington 10/12/16

Hopefully this is right area for this item.

My wife arrived Padd last night (Sat 10-12-16) for the 2230 Padd Bristol only to be greeted by Tornado, sizzling away in either plat 3 or 4. Mrs Devonbelle excitedly text to say cameras around the station, parts were barricaded off. Shortly before her train about 40 actors/actresses in 1940s garb arrived walking down the slope off Praed St, onto the concourse.

Check of real time trains shows the following -

2226 Southall Padd light engine. It ran 58 early hence Mrs Devonbelle saw same. I see it ran back this morning to Southall just after 0700 - light engine 18L. There was no vintage pass stock at Padd and no moves in realtime trains I could see.

Anybody know anymore?

 

I hope they knew what they were doing with their costumes because when I was waiting for the same train, I saw some actors in 70s style station staff uniforms.

 

Backdrop to "Paddington Bear 2", according to the A1 Trust's FB page...

 

As mentioned by Mark she has been filmed for Paddington 2: (not my video)

Seems not to be in steam so obviously towed to Paddington.

 

There seems to be steam being coming from various places, so looks in steam to me from that shot - no 'Assisting Diesel' in this case! Maybe Tornado was 'just taking its own weight'

Can't find the post anymore so assume it's been deleted.

 

I was walking by to get my train and to take a photo there was a lot of shoveling going on, on the footplate.

 

They were not real, it was a CGI hologram projection.
