Two foot gauge Perry locomotive arrives at Mandalong for repair and reassembly then has its first steaming since 1998. Then a broken rail brings the day to an end.

beautiful footage of two steam engines working hard going up a hill. I was very surprised to see Perry jump the track at the end of the episode

Thankyou. We were more than a little surprised ourselves.

What a buzz to get Perry steamed up after 26 years! What condition was the boiler in I wonder and if much had to be done to finally get her into steam?🤔It’s a tribute to the guys dedication, blood, sweat and tears - and no doubt, a beer or three! I’m enjoying the Mandalong diaries! Thanks for posting👍🏻

Good to see an old engine steam again. Also, poor Perry, that had to hurt, and was probably pretty embarrassing.

You are going to need that round house soon,to stable all these locos

Sounds like a plan. Must buy more Lotto tickets.

Great little engines. I wasn’t surprised the rail broke, you could see the engine drop into a dip on the incline.
@BelbinVideo2 ай бұрын
Yes, it had developed a dip although, in fairness, I suppose your surprise was reduced by the fact that you were told it was going to happen whereas we were not.

@@BelbinVideo It was visible on the previous runs. I did the safe working and network procedures through Southern Cross Rail Training 20 years ago, I’d love a to be involved with a historical railway again

@@greghayes9118, yes, you're right in that it was showing as a kink or dip. It wasn't, however, broken at that stage. If it had been there is no way it would have passed over it at all, as it did on the way down, with a section of the railhead missing completely. Being a relatively new track we attend to these things as required but the breaking, entirely, was not predictable.

Que profunt sona aquesta maravella. Es una gesta no tindre recursos i possar en funcionament una màquina de vapor. Esperm rebin ajut i no es perdi aquest tresor, Les generación venideres ho valorarien sobremanera Gràcies a ells per la voluntat 😍

Thankfully the rail failure didn't result in a worse incident. Total admiration for what these guys are doing. Is public access planned in the future?
@BelbinVideo2 ай бұрын
Many thanks. Unfortunately, the legalities of public access make it impossible on our budget.

I have a 5” gauge model of this loco it’s awsome to see where the full size got too. Is this the one that for a time was at Lake Macquarie light rail after some restoration work at thirlmere?

It is indeed, although it never ran there.

Just out of curiosity, Is there a track plan of this railway available somewhere?
@BelbinVideo2 ай бұрын
Only rough plans at the moment. It's still evolving to a degree but most earthworks are done, basically to take it out around the balloon loop and back so the locos will face the opposite way each run. The section shown here is the zigzag up to the engineering works.

Is Perry the same loco that ran on the Buladelah Logging Railway in the 90's?
