Suggestion for the Victorian Roundup
| June 19, 2020 07:22PM |
Just tossing this out there - be interested in thoughts.
Wondering whether it would be possible, even if just for photo runs etc, to have crew and maybe even re-enactor(s) in semi period attire to add to the experience. I am not sure of the RR operation OHS rules, but footplate crew in bib & brace overalls and maybe a bowler hat or two (reminiscent of Earl's time on the plate) rather than hi-vis vests and reflector shades. I know Pete Lerro often throws in a re-enactor or two to liven the scene, given the significance of the events, just thought it would be an interesting touch. (I would volunteer, but there is no way I would be remotely believable - you would need a VERY thick gelatin / Vaseline filter
Nothing elaborate, just believable.
