Wonderful footage

It was worth it,looks great.

Magic

Why was there a tapping sound in between every ding at the crossing

Railway Post Office trains lasted 30 years longer in Britian than they did in America.

Why does it no longer go to Northcliffe?

Boans is being demolished ... Probably the people who wanted it gone were Burkie's mates.

I think 861 was built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works

How do you speed it up

It’s reopened in July now

A lovely series, unforgettable

2:17 the only reason I came to this video

1:42 ah, the memories 👍👍👍

It just goes to The Cascades now

I spent alot of time in my teenage years volunteering at the GVR. I moved away in the 80s. Was there for the station opening and again for the 40th anniversary. The Christmas lights events are spectacular and it's great to see the Railway prosper.

They categorically ruin Perth know wonder know one wants to go there

Very sad

Way behind European rail standards Cheaper than driving though, just saying.

From a time when mail/parcels was quicker. ..and by rail!! JG

Mr. Water Rat: Dagnabbit! Loathin' wizards. Always showing up in every late for every duty. Overpaid and every services. I'm outta here.

Thank you for making this video! You just saved me many $$$ in fees to get it looked at, because here i was hitting the dang thing sideways until it clicked to get the key out scared of doing more damage! I have cleaned and re-lubricated the silver tab, however it still isnt engaging 100% of the time. I am yet to take off the other plastics around centre console to further inspect; however I know know its just a small tab contact and not the shifter mechanism! THANKYOU

When did we stop progressing on rails? Such a shame

Wow,hasn't perth grown up since then, the next building to get demolished is carillon city,this year,it runs from murray st mall to hay street mall and it was 4 floors high. Now its going to be modern and ugly.like the picadilly arcade,that's now has a tiny walking area,but the shops are twice as big. The art deco was brilliant before,now its dark and dinghy. No atmosphere at all now.

Great video.

Aap kaise ho ❤

I love it

Excellent layout used to work grain trains through Bencubbin sadly not much left just the loop and CBH at the Mukinbudun end of the station.The station building is now the local police station.

Very nice footage of our trains. Some of these are still running to this day!

The first scene is of ex Queensland Railways suburban passenger carriages. The were air braked as opposed the Westrail’s other narrow gauge rolling stock. The locomotive was a X class diesel. As best I can remember this video is prior the the Perth electrification. Really exciting time to be living in Perth.

Is this from 1987?

That S class looks fantastic.

Great stuff Neil! 😊

Hard to believe it was over 20 years ago!

More great footage Neil. A scene that has now been relegated to history.

Hi Neil. I'm curious to ask, how were your turntables operated considering the older rollingstock were vacuum brakes? I know westinghouse, but not really seen or understood your brake system. Cheers Adrian.

That how an engine should be worked. The blokes working her had her set right, little smoke, sweet exhaust cut off. I have always admired the WA V and W Classes. If only Queensland had of done likewise. Our BB18 1/4 engines were good to drive, but never sounded as nice as that, neither could they or the much old C19 class ever pull as much. Our Garratt was capable of 1300ton but never ever hauled that much in service. Thanks for sharing. I'm enjoying my WA holiday and hope to visit Hotham Valley and Pinjarra before I head home. Cheers.

Very nice, like😁

Comming and Going at Burswood station

That is an absolutley massive firebox on that engine, all that distance behind the last driver back to the single trailing axle (which seems to have rather small wheels). I would have guessed there would be a risk of a quite rocky ride, but it seems to be smouth enough. Was this a successful type in it's day?

Very cool, very cool

That was a magnificent restoration by those involved, and it was part of several Indian summers of steam on the mainline the like of which has not been seen since and is unlikely to be repeated. V, W, S, Dd, G, Pm, we never realised how much we had! Gone With Regret.

Magnificent!!!

Very nice!

Setting a cracking pace! The guys must have been in a hurry to get to the Toodyay Pub before closing. 😊 Great vision

Gday Neil. Some great footage of 1213 doing what it was designed to do. Great footage!

Nice video Neil!

Great timing Neil. The end of another era. That needs preserving. Love the steady tripod shots. It makes viewing enjoyable. 😊

Interesting video. The AA loco is an A class but with dual air/vacuum brake. The A only had vacuum for the train brake. Also, my understanding is that the mill shunt loco had a Rolls Royce diesel engine. I remember this area well I was a train guard at Manjimup from 1976-85.

The X not looking good. They always were a smoky beast. And the drivers of the F would have to manage the sand well. Otherwise he would run low on air. The Fs worked well in multiple unit but struggled in the wet as single unit.
