Noisy beast with the cylinder cocks open. Some great drone footage. From Cowan through to Gosford is some of the loveliest rail line in NSW/Aus to travel IMO. Thanks for sharing. Cheers
my late father first introduced me to the garratt , it is by far my favorite loco of all , such an impressive engineering feat , shay would be a close second , great vid , thanks for sharing
Travelled on the 14.05 on Saturday. Like a pig in shit. Good fun. I was in car A. I thought 4201 was doing a lot more work than I expected. Great V16 sound too.
As always Bevan , another great piece of video work done! , good on ya mate ; I'm hoping to make it to next years "Maitland Steamfest" if possible so lest hope that we can catch up somewhere along the line & Many Thanks for making it possible for me to see the mighty 60 class in steam from a far.
Great locos the Garretts but very smokes & smelly,used to ply main southern line past Birrong public pool back in mid 60,s pulling coal & freight trains,after school swim training,if wind blowing wrong way had to hold breath & go under till black smoke cleared ,coff. Coff splutter,uhh weird memories ay... 😅😅
It's crying shame that the diesel was pushing and the sound from the Garratt not able to be heard. I know all the reasoning behind having diesels on these trains, but In all the time that I was involved in QR Heritage, we only had one breakdown where a diesel was needed to get the train off the mainline to a depot. I think the management of our modern railways are too over causcious, the rollingstock is probably in better condition now that it ever was in regular service. Any way all in all, nice to see you boys still having a go down south of the border.
