    That ‘puffing’ and working of the engine as it climbs hills is so magical. @ 11:00 you seemed to have arrived in Gembrook just as the CFA siren was wailing…

      The siren started just as the train was arriving. 🙄🤔👍

    I enjoyed the enginemanship in that start away from Fielder.

      That was a bit of a test to the crew to lift the train from a stand on that steep grade. 😄 Glad you enjoyed it 👍 😄

    I would love to se the full driver's eye view from the camera at head of the engine, like many of the ones you have provided. Will that be happening? I also like the trackside coverage provided, but there's something relaxing about 'being on' the train as it traverses the route.

      Driver667's video will be an amazing experience when finished. However if you'd like to also see what goes on inside the cab I did a video many years ago on one of my firing shifts. ruclips.net/video/QrhfmRYbCG0/видео.htmlsi=eWEpqsb5cWilhkF9

    Puffing Billy is really cool, except for when you're one of those people waiting at the crossing for it to pass, at glacial pace.

    Once again your camera has had a great excursion, wondered why the stop, worked it because of gum bark over the tracks, slippery?
