Overview

In one large shed, Wilkinson keeps a full-scale mock-up of a train-engine cabin, with working gauges, for shooting interior scenes. He rigs explosions to simulate crashes and stage derailments.

He even has a train shell mounted over a diesel truck to create the look of a train hurtling off its tracks.
