Ok, see what i can find.

As this is a realism challenge i want to keep the background as simply as possible to keep the focus on the train. So i was thinking i'd set it on an old stone bridge over an estuary so all you will see is sea and sky. Anyone got any better ideas?

I can't be working that fast Matt as i've been out most of the night playing guitar.
