    A great initiative by the A1ST, positive publicity for them.

    From the video, I like the fact that it has a destination board of Swanage, It would be nice if 1520 could really visit Swanage some time in the future.

    That would probably be possible. Bluebell and Swanage have a good working relationship. 1520 is rarely used at the Bluebell (sadly) due to its seat-weight ratio being low. The biggest issue I can think of is that Swanage don't really have any other stock to match with - but that's not the end of the world.
