A very Merry Christmas to you too!

Thank you!

A special Christmas is wished for you too!

No just Christmassy! I have lots of viewers from all over the world and I really appreciate all of them. I'm sorry if it offended you though.

@@AM22trainsandthings don't apologise, he's being the tool not you. You are as you say just aware of the reach of your own channel.

You too!

Thank you very much!

Thanks Gregg, you’re a lifesaver-they are lucky to have you! Merry Christmas and all the best for 2025!

Maybe you should, that was embarrassing.

No sorry no idea about the wagon or many of the others!

Interesting, they haven't left Penfield, SA yet I believe.

So pleased!

Yes

@ Operational? They should get 909 going

Merry Christmas to you too and I am so pleased there is something on my channel you enjoy!

Thankyou for your feedback and have a lovely Christmas!

I wish you and your family a wonderful Christmas and hope all your dreams come true in 2025!

Well that's great for you there bloke. These carriages are probably intended for disabled access and for the families and older/ younger folk that like a bit of air conditioning with their rail experiences. They are also in running order with spare parts available. If all you're seeing is their contemporary colours clashing with heritage operations, then you're not seeing the bigger picture of more bums on seats and better experiences to keep people coming back. Modifying a centenary car for disabled access isn't practical, so this is a great solution no natter how you look at it. A repaint and no one would care for the differences.

I know what you mean there is something very special about travelling on heritage carriages and I expect they will bring them out in cooler conditions and for special occasions possibly. It is a good financial move for SteamRanger as it may attract a very diverse selection of passengers and hopefully run at capacity.

I am so pleased that you will be able to access these carriages, it’s a wonderful trip and nice to include everyone in the joy!

Give it a go again maybe!

Maybe it's nice inside? Some of them are really plush inside.

Yes that's right!

You did a great job! Do you want me to try and the front out? It's so easy on busy days to have little unexpected things crop up! Well done to everyone on the day and thankyou!

Merry Christmas to you and your family too! I hope all of your dreams come true in 2025!

Yes you should-they say it's very comfortable!

It would be wonderful to see more investment in the line and I hope that day comes!

@@AM22trainsandthings I made sure I gave the government my opinion on the subject in their recent survey. 😁 (Not sure they will listen, but it can't hurt to try.)

No definate answer yet. I did hear it might be on 6PM9 early tomorrow morning but nothin has been comfirmed.

Yea

Yes an asset for SteamRanger for sure!

Yes but I am sure SteamRanger will put them to good use!

Wouldn't that be lovely, you never know what the future holds!

Quicker by car. Would only be Mt Barker to Victor Harbour and return.

Yes you summed it up beautifully!

Thanks so much Silvio, a kind word always!

🙏🙏🙏

:)

I love them do you?

Yes, hopefully they can get the 706 back into service again. They have bogies I believe but the original ones went to the Ntional Railway Museum I believe.

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

it was at Aurizons Depot in Dry Creek

Me too! I like the Green and Gold livery!

@ I donated for 520

Yes I was a bit lucky to see a post about it on it's way down so I rushed down to at least see it but luckily I actually got to film it!

That's a shame, but at least it is still useful.

Never say never, it's not over until it's over!

@@martythemartian99 just helping 701

Well I can check with the model railway club I’m in to see if there using it for spare parts or not because they have days when they work up there so I can check😊

Yes that's right-Dennis Newall!

🎄🎄🎄:)

:)

Port Elliot, South Australia. The decorated RedHens go from Goolwa to Victor Harbor and Return subject to weather restrictions 20th, 21st, 22nd & 23rd December

Yes I believe SteamRanger are very excited about obtaining them-they have the advantage of having air-conditioning which will be an asset in Summer!

Yes Rx224 went down too.

I'm so glad you enjoyed the video Silvio!

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it!

It's the Finniss railway station on the line from Strathalbyn to Victor and opened in 1869 for horse trams and re-opened for steam trains in 1883.It was an South Australian Railways Station (SAR) but now used by SteamRanger.

I think perhpas they are working really hard and it can't all be done at the same time.
