Some brilliant shots again. I particularly like that classic streamliner departing in the dark with that lovely old coach behind it.

[@Schony747]

We are so lucky to have this and the carriages in the respective collections. I'm not really well educated on the passenger cars but some of them are particularly valuable.

[@danishsayyad332]

Great video ! Thanks ! Old is gold !!!

[@Schony747]

Old is fabulous. I suppose in 20 years we will be saying the same thing about the current NR locos.

[@jamesgovett2501]

Top job on a fantastic compilation & great viewing, l didn’t want it to stop!!!!!

[@Schony747]

I've got a few similar ideas. Thanks for looking.

[@edmundcarew7235]

Tremendous that you are attracting a worldwide audience. Great video. Extremely well done.

[@Schony747]

Thanks. The effort put into preservation over here deserves attention.

[@heathertruskinger6214]

Thank you

Thanks for looking

Amazing Stuff!

[@Schony747]

Yes. Thanks for looking 😀😀

[@patrickbryant5224]

Absolutely brilliant footage Brenden.

[@Schony747]

Thanks Man 😀😀

[@DOMINICAAVIATION]

Great video pal 👍

[@Schony747]

Thanks Bud

[@VicTransportExpeditions]

Nice video!

[@Schony747]

Thanks Man.

[@125sloth]

Fantastic. Absolutely brilliant. Way better than the steam lemons that the "puffer nutters" rave about. (That was a bit of satire by the way). Settle down now..As Jeff Fenech used to say " I love yous all".

[@Schony747]

See I grew up with Diesels so that's what I like. I don't mind steam but I like Diesels more.

[@125sloth]

@@Schony747 I'm with you all the way.

[@petersmith4455]

wish we had these emds in england no such luck.but Triang railways made these locos in the early 60s so thats the best we have !

[@Schony747]

My father bought me Hornby models in the 80s. You've got some pretty good stuff in the UK as well.

[@MatsOrmhed]

Very nice and interesting video! Greetings from Sweden!

[@Schony747]

Greetings and welcome. Thanks for havjng a look.

[@Greensleeves94]

Very nice Brenden

[@Schony747]

Thanks Brad

[@tonytan8721]

14:12 found myself on the left down corner lol. I'm the guy in brown jacket

[@johnd8892]

Good stuff. But a minor error crept in at 10:27 , S303 was not in service in 1954. Earlier at 3:57 you got S303 right with in service 1957. Thanks for the vid despite this lack of perfection.

[@Schony747]

Thanks! I thought I corrected every date. Obviously one slipped through.

[@mrconductor2004]

the x class is the only freight liner loco here ?

[@charmersify]

Are multi-day trips[overnight sleeping on the train] trips offered?

[@Schony747]

They are indeed. Operators offer overnight trips a few times a year as they have preserved sleeper stock.

[@adelaidefreighttrainsandra4246]

Brendan at the 7:19 is this the Albury spirit tour ????

[@Schony747]

It would have been one of the SG tours. I'm not 100% sure which one.

[@STYtrainspotter2007]

8:39 that......was..very....LOUD!

[@Schony747]

Yes indeed. Thanks for looking.

[@Schony747]

Old loud locos up close. You can't beat it!

[@AndreiTupolev]

Some of those locos seem to e built to very different loading gauges; look at those two at 8:25.

[@edmundcarew7235]

H5 (the loco to which you refer) was originally built IIRC to push wagons up to the former Melbourne, Australia hump yard, which would then automatically separate (freight) wagons into the different roads (tracks) of the then Melbourne Yard. This is now part of the Docklands area of Melbourne's Central Business District.

[@kristiebeals3]

is that a GP9 or an alco?

[@Schony747]

EMD G8.

[@kristiebeals3]

11:33 is that a E7 double cab?

[@Schony747]

Similar to the E7 and the only double ended cab ever produced. It was a specific requirement for The Victorian Railways.

[@kristiebeals3]

why do they look like american trains?

[@kristiebeals3]

and I thought it was an F-Unit type 2 but I made a mistake

[@johnd8892]

These bulldog nose Australian units, either single or double cab, are based on EMD F7 models not E units. None have the double prime movers of an E7. Just a single EMD 567. Some later upgraded to 645 or newer. All on three motor Co-Co trucks to keep axle load down but not lose on adhesion and pulling power. Very few E unit A-1-A trucks in Australia with the E unit centre unpowered axle. F7s design here was slightly narrowed and lengthened for our loading gauge and for the longer trucks. Built under license of EMD here with imported EMD prime movers. More info : www.victorianrailways.net/motive%20power/bdiesel/bdie.html The Victorian Railways B class need for a three motor truck discussed in the late forties or so is likely why EMD developed the SD truck.

[@voidjavelin23]

​​@@kristiebeals3 because victoria railway unironically convince EMD directly to make these double cab bulldogs that would be better known as the ML2

[@flybyairplane3528]

BENDEN, HELLO really super stuff, RM58, I saw it’s age, many yeas ago, may have been the HISTORY CHANNEL, showed some of those,,opportunities to that they were catenary. Electric, , but the EMD came in , then upped their engine hp, , I believe it may have been in OHIO `state, WE are still in lockdown, but slowly, things are opening up in different areas, man,,I had to take scizzors in hand with my beard ,, supermarkets are getting more stocked, but I heard this on 2 different radio stations, ( chins says we have we- US has over 1 million dead, & now are processing bodies for hot dogs & hamburgers , to cope with our meat shortage ) some shit, eh ? Stay well, cheers from NJ. USA🇦🇺🇺🇸

[@Schony747]

Thanks man. I'll do a search and see what I csn dig up.

[@neilforbes416]

Nice video but when it comes to railways, the steam locos have it all over the diesels. If you watch any videos(not just mine) of Steamfest from years past, where there's a steam loco engine at one end and a diesel loco at the other(only there to provide back-up should the steam loco fail), the "star of the show" is the steam loco. If just a diesel is pulling the train, the attention switches to the carriages. Possibly it's that rail motor at the beginning of the video that would draw a crowd but against, say, 3801, for instance, that rail motor would be "in the shade".

[@youtubeviewer7030]

Neil Forbes this is Victoria NOT New South Wales

[@Schony747]

I take your point but as I grew up watching Diesel locos, that's my preference. I still like steam.

[@youtubeviewer7030]

Schony747 so did I but diesels locomotives still rule the tracks in my opinion

[@youtubeviewer7030]

neil in twenty or thirty years time steam would be no more as it be to costly to maintain

[@neilforbes416]

@@youtubeviewer7030 Actually I don't think so. As long as there are dedicated and enthusiatic volunteers to maintain them, the often-more-than-century-old steam locos will keep chuff-chuffing away on our tracks for many more years, even decades to come.

[@michaeljackson2838]

Some of the track makes the ride at speed "exciting" (read shitting yourself)

[@Schony747]

Yes some of it rides like a mud track from people have told me.

[@wilhelm3458]

What a pitiful collection of tracks

[@Schony747]

Well it is what it is.
