I used to be a regular commuter (Springwood to Central) from 1976 to 1984, starting with the "U-Boats" and then the Vees. Loved the double-deckers.....with their A/C and gold-tinted windows. :)

G'Day, Bruce; I fondly remember your early BVE route going the other way from a lifetime ago!

I always loved my trips home and back to work when I did the trip each weekend. The smell of the ballast and the brake dust. Travelling on the assist locos from Lithgow to Bell. Great memories. Thank you.

was a bit bumpy towards the end as i was keeping an eye on how much recording time we had left. As soon as we pulled up the camera stopped recording automatically as i had run out of room, the timing couldn't have been better. Beforehand the camera was rested on a ledge inside the front centre door which resulted in the ticking sound heard throughout most of the video due to the vibrations

Yes, a clean window would be nice 😃 I is nice to see the V-Set going through the _Rat Holes!_ May be next time could start before the first Rat Hole?

I don't know about riding in the cab, but a V set is still a very comfortable way to travel. Who knows what the replacements will be like.

Yeah I had to show the scenery lol, that is storage for The ZigZag, I'm pretty sure that's a narrow gauge garret, not an AD60. If you contact them through their website I'm sure they'll be able to shed some light on future plans for anything stored up there ;-)

Saddening to think that if the National rail freight line is ever built west of the divide the main west and this amazing infrastructure may become a rail backwater.

Has any one done one from Katoomba to lithgow (and return [separate videos])?

Why so Shakey? Does the V set not have a flat surface to put a camera?
