In today's video, Steamrail Victoria operates a series of shuttles between Hurstbridge and Eltham with their steam locomotive K183 and the 5-carriage Tait set. If you enjoy this video, make sure to leave a like and subscribe.
G'day Jamie. Great video on the Hurstbridge wattle festival steam and tait train. It's great to see heritage trains return to the most scenic railway on the Melbourne suburban network. Up until 2013, it was the only railway in Melbourne still using the old staff and ticket system as it was and still is single track. This system is now used on heritage railways such as Puffing Billy. I also love how you were able to capture K183 and the Taits in all their glory even though it wasn't two steam locomotives at both ends of the train as per usual. But still they performed a very good show. K183 is one of my favorite locomotives from Steamrail Victoria simply because of it's attractive blue and gold livery, very rare for its class. Keep your steam up mate. take care cheers Kevig
Great video Jamie I didn't go to this one this year I'll probably do it next year. That's if they have the two k,s still don't like Tait set with steam train
