nothing is left at the old site except the track bed, all rail, sleepers, loco's, rolling stock were removed progressively during 2022-3,

the boiler is part of a restoration project for a 1900's traction engine

@@afs5609 How the heck is the circular flange on the tube plate formed? Is it heated and dressed around a circular dolly by hand or is there a magical incantation that causes it to self-form?

@@itsabitovahill873 the first way you described is the normal way it has been done that way for the last hundred years or another way is to first cut out a circular plate. then roll a strip of steel to form a ring then weld the ring to the plate, of course you need to prep the welded area & the person welding needs to be a certified pressure vessel welder.

Correct they should never have stopped, a great way to get around Brissy. Saturday to Doomben or Eagle Farm and listening to the other punters stories of either winning or losing.

from memory equal to the earlier run by 3801, but didn't break the record due to signal check approaching Newcastle around Civic.

@@afs5609 thanks!

what was old is now new once again in a slightly different format

the locomotives were located at Mountain Rd, Warnervale, NSW, Australia. Three of the loco's numbers 12, 24,37 are now located in the Morisset area twenty minutes north of the old location, the other two 19,43 are to found in Victoria.

yes, rail & two loco's sold interstate, the other three loco's & carriages retained, relocated to another property & I have along with two members commenced to build another railway fifty two years after I built this one, see video on my channel "the new smoky mountain railway under construction".

@@afs5609 I will. Did the place go bankrupt or something? (Soryy, I like the history on old railways)

@@eggs_trains no, the property was sold to a land developer by the owner, who had inherited the railway/property from the original owner, who had been one of the group of three that created the railway back in 1970, unfortunately I was the only one left of that group when the current owner decided to sell the property, he had also expressed the view he had no intention of rebuilding the railway on another property he was intending to purchase with the money from the sale.

Glad you enjoyed it!

the so called “world leaders” are insane in the membrane 🚬🤠

Many thanks!

@@afs5609 and thank you too, chief 👍

NO, he decided to sell the property, his loco & other inherited assets of the railway & move on to other interests.

👍🏻 can’t even drive to the local shops without getting stuck in a traffic jam these days 😳

@@jesusislukeskywalker4294 you are the traffic, though.

Thanks Ken, when I surveyed the first layout fifty two years ago & built the Warnervale railway with the original crew, I didn't think I would be doing this all over again.

@@afs5609 it’s wonderful that you are and will able to enjoy wee. Wee Georgie wood!

yes memories it a pity it doesn't make you young again

Hi will this be open to the public or not 😢

@@jamesm2101 with the current policies of the insurance companies in Australia the answer to your question is no, as they will not cover miniature railways, oversea's insurance companies may at at a very high premium of $2.500 for a ten million public liability cover, & thats only for non paying friends & guests, I am horrified what it would cost if it was to operate as public carrying railway classified here in Australia as a public amusement ride.

@@afs5609 Thank you for that information. I wish you and your group well in this new adventure.

its been lost to the area it was located in for fifty years, due to the property being sold, the railway equipment & infrastructure had to be removed from the site, by dismantling the track & relocating to another location by some members, & selling off the equipment owned by another member who also own the now sold property.

you ever even heard of or know about the rockafellas scam yet or not 🚬😎

diesel engines were designed to run on peanut oil.. ☝️

The tam? What's that?😂

It’s still a country town. 😂

three I believe in a poor condition, one has lost its body due to deterioration is now only a under frame.

@@afs5609 thanks for the response. Any idea what happened to the loco?

@@dreamworldsgoldenyears3101 it was rebuilt it, at the moment due to track rebuilding its isolated on a spur track

@@afs5609 so the Leyland bros world loco is on the site of this Hudswell Clarke? Would love to see more of it and the Leyland bros stuff whenever possible.

Some things never change. Usually the AMG variants are featured nowadays, on dashcam.

Me too

none of the above, two of the original three members who started the railway in 1970 had passed away,(1997 2006) yours truely was the third member, one of the deceased members owned the property, he passed it on through his will to the youngest member, fifteen years later he decided to sell the property, as his interest in the railway had diminished to another interest of steam traction engines, the other reasons to sell was the money offered for the property & the area was ongoing redevelopment that would have increased the local council property rates. I removed my rail equipment along with another member, relocated to another friends property to start again along side two other existing railways, one 7 1/4 & the other 2ft gauge.

could you advise where you carried out this experience

@@afs5609 Victoria sugar mill in Ingham Queensland and I have been to Woodford near Cabolture to see the Melbourne. Another old Hudswell we had.

@@peterphillips187 interesting, I was there for two weeks in July 1971.

I am unable to give the exact year, but it would have been either 1968 or 69

Some time betweeb January 1968 and April 1969. The HK Holden was released in January 1968, the new Victoria bridge was opened in April '69. The footage was shot between those dates.

I'm sorry to hear that. It's just that I was hoping to build a Railway in the same gauge as 12 inches or larger in the Upper Lachlan shire for transporting fruit and orchards around. But what you said that the trains and track are sold individually. I'm sorry to hear that

@@jackthediscoverer good luck with your plans, I hope you have deep pockets, because you will need it, just as guide to how much it will cost you, to construct the railway at Warnervale in the 1970's the cost was $ 22,000, thats material + earthworks, that does not include labour to lay the track & purchase of property, length of track 1.5 miles over a 25 acre property
