It's rare to see Australian rolling stock this far north. And a double header at that. And passenger stock with a handsome livery. Thanks for the treat.
Well it's still owned by the Powerhouse Museum and it's their decision whether to release funds to make a new boiler after the old one got burnt. But it was such a shame when 3830 was running for it so often played a secondary role to 3801 and was always in the shafts on a train. It rarely got to shine on it's own. One video of Bevan's does show what a solid performer 3830 was when on a trip to Robertson 3801 continually lost it's feet on a grade and if it hadn't been for 3830 pushing 3801 and hauling the train then 3801 would have come to a stand unable to move. 3830 was always known in it's service days as a very strong engine only just behind the strongest 38 of all 3827.
Occasionally the smokebox (The part in front of the boiler with the chimney attached) needs to have the ash and residue cleaned out to prevent problems
@@algrigg9039 The frame was made in Granite City Illinois USA and the streamlining is an adaptation of the New Haven and Hartford Railroad I5 4-6-4 of 1934. But after that the rest is all Australian.
Certainly influenced by overseas designs (incl US), but it's accepted the eventual final design was developed in Australia. But it's certainly a 'point of order'!

Beautiful sound coming from Loco motive
Beautiful 3801 she is real charmer for sure and that whistle is glorious.
I agree with you
Guess 2020 marks the 20th anniversary of when the two 38s ran up the blue mountains
I have the 3801 as a model. It’s my first proper steam train locomotive I’ve had period. The first two model trains I got where a part of a train set.
Having worked trains out of Enfield with both locomotives 30 was a better.
Nice video !! Wow, - you brought a tear to my eye. You put a lot of work into it. Well done !!!
I don't subscribe to the hype about 3801 but there's no doubt the 38s are impressive engines, especially with that exhaust beat like a gunshot!
And the REAL fun begins at Mt Vic! :)
A small video problem at 1:08 and 1:32 , otherwise a great video as always

This is not north, this is west
Awesome
Awesome footage of 3801 & 3830 running together, do you think 3830 will run again at all? Would be great to see it

Awesome video? Why was the engine's nose opened?

38 minutes long too
The type of engine 3801 was originally a U.S. built stream line locomotive.
No, the design is based off one but that does not make it a US loco
Nope. Designed and built in Australia.

@@algrigg9039That's why Americans love the loco so much because no I 5's were preserved. For Americans 3801 is the closest to a NYH&H I 5.
