@@Nickstrainsandtransport Yep I filmed this back in June 2012. It was the first time chasing 621 down to the coast.

@ nice 👍

@@Bob.W. Hi. This was filmed at Goolwa in South Australia during June 2012. The cold weather conditions on the day produced some memorable steam effects.

@@sscfc1 It is very sad about that, it’s the same situation here in Australia these days.

@@johnkinnane547 Thanks very much for that Dad. I will have some more photos from the visit to the NRM coming to the channel in the near future.

@@mrwolsy3696 Very interesting to read this, I had no idea about this locomotive. I might have to do some research on it.

@@garryferrington811 It looks like when this film was put together, the sound and the moving pictures were recorded separately. It was a fascinating find, and I continue to search for more films like this in the archives.

@@garryferrington811 Did you work in the film industry?

Very well could be footage from the 20s compiled later with voiceover added

There is a lot of truth in your comment. The biggest competition for our new machines was our used machines which refused to die. Not long ago I was at a customer’s plant to assess the performance of a machine we built in 1914.

@@kaptainkaos1202 Very interesting to read this. How long were you involved in the aviation industry for?

@ I spent 45 years in Naval Aviation. I truly was blessed because I had so much fun, learned so much and made good $$$. I am one of the few people I know that couldn’t wait to get to work because I rarely did the same thing over and over.

We’ve been in the same boat. Will you look at my post and give your opinion. We touched on the same topics almost.

@@timengleman Thanks very much for sharing your memories. It’s interesting to watch how engineers work to build a machine or structure, and what goes in to achieving the final product.

@@Makataka_trains Hi mate. Yep, this is something that I would definitely like to do one day and produce a video on each example. There is a compilation type video somewhere on the channel that features the one at Nuriootpa, and Kapunda, and although I took still photos of the Rx on display at Tailem Bend, I haven’t been back there to film it. I hope this will change in the coming months though, I am pretty keen to see the Rx at Kadina as well, plus the tank engine on display outside the old railway station in Port Pirie, and also the Rx at Loxton.

@@TrainBloke38 It would be good to try to find this information out one day, this was the only time I have seen the wooden body carriages in service on the loop line.

@railmediaproductions3677 Yeah cause from I want know, their are currently at Chullora

@@grahamsengineering.2532 Thanks for watching the video Graham 👍

I am really pleased to hear you enjoyed the film. Thank you very much for watching 👍

Thanks for that John. There will be more RUclips shorts of this loco coming to the channel in the future.

@@railmediaproductions3677 Excellent!

Though there's definitely a touch of Strine underneath the RP - he's no Pom!

Still sounds Australian.

@@TrainsDownSouth621 This was filmed during the ARHS SA Divisions 60th anniversary in June 2012. Rx207 ran to Goolwa, and it was then followed around an hour later by 621.

@ nice

@ It was a very enjoyable day. At Goolwa the 2 trains combined, and Rx207 and 621 double headed on the return run to Mount Barker.

@ nice

Hi mate. This was back in May 2013 between Thirlmere and Buxton, the cutting is just out of the NSW Rail Museum site and it is quite a steep gradient.

@@jameslawrie3807 It was certainly a very different world back then.

I maintain that the 2 are related. Any video from a time when we actually BUILT things..no safety gear is present. Therefore the presence of safety gear inhibited building things. In those days..you just died - like a man - and there was a sense of pride and honor in doing so.

@ There was definitely great pride in building railway locomotives and rollingstock back in those days 👍

@@Pamudder It’s definitely something I would like to try to research one day. I think the locomotive being built in this film was a member of the C17 class?

The track was a major factor, alongside finances.

​@@railmediaproductions3677The locomotive being built is a member of the B18 1/4 Class.

All the Australian states were separately building their own locomotives at this time. That had been occurring simply because the equipment required to maintain a steam locomotive and build a steam locomotive from scratch is almost identical. The months long delay in getting parts from the other side of the planet fed into this.

South African Railways was ordering 3'6" as well as 2' gauge locomotives from suppliers all over the world so the track gauge was probably not the reason. 0:56 ing​@@ItzDecster

@JohnGillespie-s5n They truely are a wonderful locomotive.

@@vsvnrg3263 Thanks for sending through these details. I think the locomotive under construction was a member of the C17 class?

Talkies were invented in Germany (Tobis Klangfilm), made their initial very crude appearance in the US in 1926, were popularized with a sound-on-disk system in 1927, and Fox's optical track system (Western Electric) came out in 1928. In the '30s, optical tracks were added to 16mm by removing one row of perforations and using that area for the track. In about 1933, the Auricon Camera Co. began marketing heavy, soundproof motorized cameras which could record an optical track directly on to the 16mm film. Their building was still there when I visited Hollywood in 1980. The Edison Co. experimented with sound quite early, and I've seen a Pathe film of 1903 featuring the great British star Little Tich which has synchronized sound, albeit apparently these early experiments were unsuccessful.

@ , bonus information, thank you.

Thanks very much for watching. I am glad you enjoyed the film. Its always an interesting process going through the archives as you never know what might turn up.

@@railmediaproductions3677 about 25 years ago I was tasked with cleaning out our lab that had thousands of film, photo and digital media. My supervisor wanted anything dumped that wasn’t recent. I really cried knowing I was filling dumpsters with films of WW2, Korean War and Viet Nam era flight testing. We dumped over 50 years of media and filled 3 dumpsters. I know for a fact many of them had video of our early astronauts because almost all of them went thru USN Test Pilot School on my base.

@@rsinclair6560 Great to hear you enjoyed the film 👍

Speak for yourself. This film is remarkable for its depiction not just of locomotive construction but of the processes that were involved in making a whole range of manufactured products. It’s somewhat surprising to see a line-shaft powered machine shop still in operation in the 1930’s.

Or hang around with you.

@@CalebsRailFilms Hi Caleb. She certainly puts on a good show when it works hard up through the hills. It will be nice to see it hauling the Southern Encounter again in the future 👍

@@geordieceltic2 These particular locomotives are great, we are very fortunate that a large number of them survived into preservation.

@kclassproductions It was the first time I have ever filmed K175. We did stay at Mildura one night when we were travelling back to Melbourne from a weekend on the Pichi Richi Railway, but we didn’t have time to look over the K class until 12 years later when we returned to the area. This time Dad and I were on our way back from Broken Hill.

@@railmediaproductions3677 It's nice you got an opportunity to see it then

@kclassproductionsI will need to film some of the other K class locomotives around Victoria. I have the one at Numurkah, plus Coal Creek Village on the list.

@ is the one in Numurkah K 181?

@ Yep that’s the one 👍 I also want to try to film the J class on display at Mulwala.

@@johnd8892 It’s something I would definitely like to look into one day 👍

Hi mate. No the K class were always black during VR service. The green boiler on K175 was added after the loco was placed in the park.

And the pink bits are an after plinthed addition. Hopefully just undercoat for a coat of black.

It is always an enjoyable experience seeing and hearing this loco working hard up through the hills.

@@ashtonogwigglesfan The livery is certainly close to how Edward is in the Thomas & Friends series.

@@johnhenstock9668 Thanks for that John. I have always liked this locomotive and I plan to film it again in the coming months.

@@railmediaproductions3677 Yes she's a great looking locomotive!

@ Back in 1989 it ran side by side with 4472 Flying Scotsman when it visited Adelaide. It also did similar trips alongside 3801 the year before.

@@ВасилийДударов Thanks very much for that. I am glad you enjoyed the video 😊

It was a good day for filming steam 👍

@@johnhenstock9668 Thanks very much for that John 👍

A Caboose only goes on the back of freight trains, not passenger

Most trains don't have a caboose. That's an American thing from a specific era and only used for freight trains.

@justforever96 Trains had an engineer in the kaboos. His job was to watch the wheels when they went around curves to see if if any of the wheels had locked up. If any wheels have ocked up, the friction will cause a fire . Modern trains have a sensor for this . But vintage trains relied on an engineer in the caboose to watch for this . My grandfather was one of them .

There had been different uses for those cars! Carbooses were orimarily used as the place of the condutor of the freight train. They could do there the necessary paper work, too. Before trains were equiped with airbreaks, people who had to handle the breaks could stay there during winter, when a freight train had to wait in stations until the journey could be continued. If there had to be done some kind of shunting work during the journey, those people necessary for this traveled there. In Europe these kinds of carbooses runed directly behind the locomotives, because a locomotive picked on of this cars just before it went to the teain and when the locomotive was changed on the way, the carboose was changed, too, to ensure that they stayed where they belonge! If a train just runs from A to B without changing cars , carbooses are not realy necessary! Passenger trains had luggage cars instead. But since this is a special train for tourists, which runs in a circle, this is not necessary!

@@lynnmorton7544 It will be interesting to see what happens with M2 in the future. I will definitely be keeping an ear out.

I agree with your first sentence, your second sentence is pure fantasy.

@ Indeed, it's unlikely

​@@Match2100Tasmanian industrial, mining and transportation conservation or preservation has been woeful. The Beyer Garratts 8 cylinder M and L class. The urgent rushed Australian designed and made ASG needed for the war effort, other unique locomotives all cut up. The Clemment family n Hobart played an important role saving engines, trams and carriages for the Transport Museum.

@ I don't disagree, there are lots of "ones that got away" as far as locos in preservation. It's a real shame that at least one of the Tasmanian Garratts was not saved (in particular the EBR Beyer-Garratts!) but, particularly with the M class, there just wasn't any organised preservation movement to speak of at the time. The EBR Beyers were right on the cusp, apparently EBR only wanted scrap value for them and they would have quite happily sold one into preservation but of course nobody had the means or the space at the time.

@@TrainsDownSouth621 Thanks very much for that mate. She sounded great climbing up Philcox Hill on this day. It will be nice to film it again with the Southern Encounter when it resumes running.

@@railmediaproductions3677 I hope it is

Did you try to see one of these locomotives in steam?

@@johnbrownscombe323 Hi John. I have heard from a couple of people in the last 12 hours regarding M2 and I honestly don’t know what is going to happen to the loco now but I will keep an eye out for updates in the future.

It was still in use in the early 1970's? I'm amazed at that and the fact you've actually rode behind it. The Tanfield Railway is actually on my doorstep and I've seen it a few times. It has since lost its tender body I believe that it will be cosmetically restored and used as a gate-guard, to use an aviation term

It seemed to work pretty well and it's a regular way of moving things with an excavator

@@melaniedennis7598 Thanks very much for letting me know about that Melanie. What will happen with M2 in the future is definitely something that is worth following.

I think the original idea was to house M2 in a museum showing steam locomotives that were constructed by Robert Stephenson & Hawthorns, but I could be wrong about this.

Same reason many of our traction engines went back. We are not great at restoring historic transportation significant machinery like our Australian Standard Garratt, Heavy Harry or NSWGR 3 cylinder 5711. Tasmania had unique 8 cylinder M and L class Garratts and cut up.
