Hell on Wheels is an American western television series about the construction of the first Transcontinental railroad across the United States. The series follows the Union Pacific Railroad and its surveyors, laborers, prostitutes, mercenaries, and others who lived, worked and died in the mobile encampment called "Hell on Wheels" that followed the rail-head west across the great plains

The crew at HoW is flying me up to Calgary on Monday 21st 2014 to act as a consultant. I will be putting the finishing touches on the equipment, to get it into running/printing shape. I will be working with the props people and possibly the actors to teach them how everything works and how to use the presses and type so they can pass as letterpress printers circa 1885.
