They can't use sand for climb this? Only i ask of my ignorance, i don't know if the steamer Baldwin uses a sandome. (Sorry grammar: im from Argentina)

Hi leonardo, we use a bit of sand occasionally, just thrown on, but with light loads we don't need it much. Thanks for your kind comments.

Just out of curiosity, Is there a track plan of this railway available somewhere?
@BelbinVideo17 күн бұрын
Only rough plans at the moment. It's still evolving to a degree but most earthworks are done, basically to take it out around the balloon loop and back so the locos will face the opposite way each run. The section shown here is the zigzag up to the engineering works.

Great little engines. I wasn’t surprised the rail broke, you could see the engine drop into a dip on the incline.
@BelbinVideoАй бұрын
Yes, it had developed a dip although, in fairness, I suppose your surprise was reduced by the fact that you were told it was going to happen whereas we were not.

@BelbinVideo29 күн бұрын
@@greghayes9118, yes, you're right in that it was showing as a kink or dip. It wasn't, however, broken at that stage. If it had been there is no way it would have passed over it at all, as it did on the way down, with a section of the railhead missing completely. Being a relatively new track we attend to these things as required but the breaking, entirely, was not predictable.

One thing I noticed. that some of fireman on those engines had not trimmed their tenders just A BIT LAZY and OH&S was not a big thing and if a lump of coal fell off the tender and hit someone in the head it was just bad luck! you could always find coal along the side of the track in the bush I WAS ONLY 7 but I lived in North Gosford in the 60s so I i was Lucky to see lots of steam.

What a buzz to get Perry steamed up after 26 years! What condition was the boiler in I wonder and if much had to be done to finally get her into steam?🤔It’s a tribute to the guys dedication, blood, sweat and tears - and no doubt, a beer or three! I’m enjoying the Mandalong diaries! Thanks for posting👍🏻
