I am an ex Enfield steam train driver aged 81 and I still have steam and coal in my blood and still dream of those good old days hard as they were at times.
Amazing rail video! Beautiful images with Steam Locomotive, Diesel Loco and train! Also awesome places and landscapes! Good work, master! Thumbs Up Greetings from Romania Andrew
OK, that was REALLY fricking good! I'm a railroader in the states, I had no idea you guy's have such a wonderful restoration program! I have no idea where in Australia this is but I'm going to google now!
Just came across this. Lovely Machine, scenery and footage!! Wish we still had some standard gauge garratts back here in the UK! Did wonder why the flat wagons
Once again Bevan , another Top Job well done ; as always - you make me home sick for some "real Steam" action as W.A. can't Top those locations or motive power!
I dont know why they had two lumps of pig iron on for 6029 should be able to pull that lot ok they are known to have started 2000 ton trains by themselves
+Jim Young Yeah but not many steamers could handle the Bethungra loop without assistance, in the old days there used to be as many as three Locos on a passenger train just to handle Bethungra.
@@TheAntiBully No, passenger cars are not supplied by the diesels. They have batteries under the frame which provides the lighting (no air con in these cars).
The tankers are extra water for the Garratt. the flat cars are are for spares and other bits and pieces. If you look closely, the yellow container has a generator in it. Steam tours these days have to be pretty well self supporting as all the old infrastructure has pretty well gone.

Did you ever work on the 57s and 58s?
One of the best steam train footage I have ever seen on the net...!
That footage on the spiral was brilliant
I love the way the steam hangs in the cool winter air. Great video.

Fantastic footage Bevan. Your footage is absolutely fantastic. Keep up the great work.
Another top class effort Bevan.
A job well done Bevan some amazing footage.
First time I ever saw a Garrat, was 70 yrs ago, I was 5, up in the northern tablelands, a little place called Guyra
about 200 metres from the station
A really beautiful restoration job! Many thanks to all those responsible for changing a 34 year drought into a positive reality.
Very good indeed great video of the steam and diesels, well done.
Lovely work Bevan. Great to talk to you.
Yes absolutely keep up the great work Bevan!😊

Great video! Why wrong road through the Cullerins?
Great editing around 6:13, that sun set a little too fast lol, but damn good edit it looks great
AWESOME
This is fantastic. The video is so clear. What type of camera is used?
Can an enthusiast tell me - what is the code for the drive engine combination ? I mean it's e.g.04-111 what have you !

i believe the diesels are there for breaking and power to the passenger cars

Good old Garratts!😀
Why does it have 3 frieght cars on it
The tankers are extra water for the Garratt. the flat cars are are for spares and other bits and pieces. If you look closely, the yellow container has a generator in it.

A good video ruined by two diesels which could have put the back at least, or not there at all,
atleast its a ALCo
