6029 travels to Bathurst - 7th June 2024 - 4K HDR Youtube

[@plainswell]

That last shot is the single best sustained shot of a steam locomotive I have ever seen. Talk about perfect camera location...! Bravo!

[@sonycans]

That last shot is not as long as you may think.... Oh it is certainly long and I really love it however at 2:50 you can see the merge between the two scenes...

[@plainswell]

@@sonycans Ha! Missed that. You are quite correct. The original shot was still held steady, waiting for the 6029 to return so I guess it was just a bit of editor's anxiety (I've been there) that prompted the trim. Either way, it is a great shot, er, shots!

I remember many times in the 1960s standing on Auburn or Flemington station on way to or from school, seeing those Bayer-Garratt monster steam engines doing their daily work pulling freight trains. Your video is a beautiful record of an incredible engineering feat, restoring such an old workhorse to its truly awesome power. Yes that last scene is also a cinematographic stunner, thanks so much!!

[@nickgray4129]

Brilliant - you nailed it. The last shot was one of the very best I have ever seen. Thank you very much.

[@aussienscale]

Just a stunning locomotive !! That last scene was framed brilliantly BTW, very well done indeed !!

[@starfishsystems]

Outstanding photography. These compositions are gorgeous, the live camera work is smooth and unobtrusive, but also in excellent compositional taste if anyone cares to notice. I couldn't be more impressed.

[@warrenhunt5556]

BRAVO ZULU! That's better than watching any movie. Brilliant, perfect and surealism coming true.

[@KC-shunting]

Great sound when they're slogging up the 1-in-33.

[@spanners94]

Gotta love those Garretts. Pure unadaulterated grunt. Shows the diesels how it's done.

[@anthonywarrener1881]

Great sight and sound. What a superb sighting ! Well done.

[@tim-1072]

Another excellent video 👌 I really loved the last clip thanks for sharing 👍🏻

[@TickholeProductions]

Excellent video Peter, nice to catch up over the weekend although a short chat. Look forward to see how you weekend footage came out. Cheers Richard

[@rhettcorbett3346]

Beyer- Garrett. Legendary.

[@GaryNoone-jz3mq]

Excellent!! I really enjoyed that!😊

[@johnnichol9412]

That shot at the 2:35 mark is a classic.

[@josecarlospoggian149]

Fantastic👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😂Thanks a lot👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@sirjohng1]

I had no idea there was one of these locos still running. Saw something similar at Kettering UK in the 50's pulling coal wagons, I thought the train would never end😎 I still wonder how they get the two locos to match without serious wheel slipping?

[@aussierailfan687]

Hi Pndvd, your videos look amazing, what camera do you use?

[@01eddielawson]

It was nice of the steam engine to help the diesel locos pull such a heavy load over the mountains.

[@arunbhoopathyt6503]

Class y 2 good steamish rool on u good luck on u ❤❤🎉

[@stephenrowling8220]

How many gears has it got?

[@kentlandzintoba]

Very long Train. The locomotive must be tremendously powerful.

[@carlwilson1772]

It is powerful but it has got three diesel locomotives helping it.

[@kentlandzintoba]

@carlwilson1772 I noticed the Diesels, I thought they were being pulled.

[@BraviazRahadi]

@@kentlandzintoba mostly they do nothing as theyre a combined set of train

[@jefftheaussie2225]

The Beyer Garret would have handled that on its own I reckon without any trouble. Does it live at Thirlmire?

[@kentlandzintoba]

@jefftheaussie2225 You're probably right, too much huff and puff

[@gkw9882]

What's the tanker for?

[@daveg2104]

Water.

[@jurkiltz-sv5rh]

n 😊

[@epaddle7469]

Stop burning coal!

[@andrewstackpool4911]

Sod off

[@andrewstackpool4911]

They are restored engines that, oh gee, use coal. Not really endangering the envinement. But there's always people like you who have to push your rubbish portfolio
