@@Schony747 I am taking mum on the December Wine train. The Manang trip was the first one. Will be more but living on the Eastern Eyre Peninsula (160km West of Pt Augusta) makes it a bit longer trip.
@Schony747 thanks I did have a look and talked with the drivers. I'm a coach driver( buses). Looking at this old carriages brought ba k memories from other times long gone.
At the start of the video, I wondered why they needed two locomotives to pull only eleven carriages. The rest of the video answered that. I have never before seen so many, and so steep inclines on a railway, almost like a rollercoaster track, but the two locomotives handled them very well. Nice video by the way.
Love the overland carriages
Yes me too. That's the era I grew up with
Same here, rode on them when they were BG! Great video. Cheers from Wagga.
Pardon my mistake, I was on the wrong Mallee line, I’m not myself today!
Another great video Brendan
Thanks alot
I was on that tour. Was great. Your filming was exceptional. Could even see my pink and orange dress and jacket in the window.
Thanks! I knew a few people on that trip. We've done the Riverlander and hope to do another one soon.

Correct. It's always a spectacular departure as well

Thanks! N474 would have been there for insurance
They do look a lot worse when zoomed up!
They could at least group the Southern Auroa & Overland carriages together so it looks neat & consistent.
In a perfect world yes but I'm sure there would have been some reason for the consist set up.
