I was 14 at the time and I never got the chance to see an amazing feature like this for the 150th anniversary of our railway history. And now thankfully with this video footage, I now able would witness it. Thank you Bevan for this.

A fabulous collection of beautiful locomotives. Never seen coal carried on the cab roof (3112) before!

1708 was a Vulcan (no connection to Mr. Spock) built for the NSW Railways by Vulcan Foundry in Lancashire, England in 1886, entering service in 1887. They were intended for mainline use on the steep sections to Lithgow (Eskbank) and Kiama and Newcastlke. Train crews and track-work cres hated them so they ended up being relegated to branch-line working. See reference in Wikipedia

Was a one off, I'd say. Certainly won't be repeated with those locos. Graeme.

Out of all those steam locos there The only currently opperational one, 1210, is the oldest being built in 1878, and frankly the best looink loco there.

Nice all these very British looking locomotives (1709 could be taken away frim the Midland in its maroon) with the American style coaches. I asume most of these loco's are much older than the coaches they are pulling. Nice end with the stud of Alco's.

@Aussie Pom 4306 is also an ALCO. 3526 's design was based on the English Black five.
@newobanproductions9992 ай бұрын
@@gibbsey9579 3526 is actually older than the LMS Black Five as how can she be based on a design from 1935 when she was built in 1918, 17 years earlier? The real design she's based on is the GWR 2900 'Saint' class 4-6-0 of 1902. This is because her designer, Edward Lucy, was trained at the GWR's Swindon Works. By extension, the 36 class are also related to the Churchward Saints.

well ashame that Picton yard is gone so that operation has to be done at Thirlmere and i think im answering some peoples question why are the big ones up the back? so they don't break the other locos and a shame that 1709 3112 1210 and 3526 are not in service
@allmightypuffn8 жыл бұрын
why would they need 5 of those to pull such a short train, unless its a power move also, and what are those black cars right behind the engines? im guessing water tanks? never seen them before
@Dazzalinco17 жыл бұрын
Its cause Platforms in Australia are very small compared to European countries where they have like 20 passenger carriages for the average passenger train while in Australia its about 6-8 carriages and yes in Australia due to the hot climate you will see a lot of steam trains operate with water tankers.

Two reasons for five locos. One, it is a celebration and two, because they could.

Are the 17 and 12 class still operational or are they in museums. I hope they are not at Dorrigo
@BelbinVideo4 жыл бұрын
Michael, the 12 class is in Canberra, I think being worked on and the 17 is at Thirlmere. I think it's operational but reserved for very special occasions.

Could somebody tell me how they get all four engines in sequence
@bigkiwimike10 жыл бұрын
It would not be easy. All the drivers would have to carefully apply power to get their engines in order not to wheel slip. The faster they go the easier they would be to drive. Each driver would be paying close attention to what the others are doing. The front loco would be in charge of the brakes and the back four would have their drivers brake valves "cut out". This would prevent the back four locos from releasing the brakes after the front loco puts them on.

yes. Steam locos can run on diesel with conversion of course.
@mdgfb057 жыл бұрын
diesels are not better in any way. They don't have a good horn/ whistle they are boring and they don't bring any enjoyment to the train spotting community
@danwat12347 жыл бұрын
they are better in many ways. Pollution, efficiency, starting tractive effort.. but steam is cool They can be fun.. like when they blow a radiator/dynamic brake fan 100 feet + in the air caught on video
