Location

We have discussed our location, and have decided that a field is not the best location for our stand-off to take place, as it may just look like a group of local farmers having an argument. We want our scene to take place in an area that our characters wouldn't usually be, and that isn't just a copy of an old western. That is why we have come up with the idea of using a railway line.

This section of line is part of a local heritage railway, and is only in use on Sundays. It is well away from the main line and is not under the control of Network Rail. I hold a valid Personal Track Safety card for this railway, and so am able to carry out work on or about the line.

Having a railway as our location would work for us, as they were a common feature of classic old western films. On top of this, it is a location at which our characters would not normally be, and is an interesting setting for our stand-off as the line could represent the contrast of views between the antagonist and protagonist, if they were stood either side.
