Ash train

[@emeraldzebra9360]

I've never seen a Garratt slip before. That was pretty cool!!!

[@PontiusKak]

Same here!

[@foreversteam]

Stunning, Stunning footage mate! Top quality video and sound - thoroughly enjoyed this South African Steam action! Thanks for posting and hope you post some more like this - especially when that NG15 rides the rails!

It's Wales!

[@keithalexander3386]

You picked some great locations there! Well shot!!!

[@rogergriffith286]

Very professional. Great shots and I like the out takes of the mountains and the Dipper. A few pointers here on how to improve my filming. I must do that 80 miles on narrow gauge excursion!

I think it is quite cool how the Garratt can have wheel spin on each set of driving wheels separately

[@OlanKenny]

Cool to look at, must be somewhat difficult for the crew

[@Worksengineer]

Excellent footage thanks for sharing

[@488scooby]

great to see a bit of shunting every now and then ,,nice bit of slipping aswell

[@northnottinghamshirerailwa737]

The power that garret had was very impressive

[@AndreiTupolev]

Did seem to have some trouble with the smokebox end driving wheels slipping. is it something to do with there being more weight at the bunker end or something I wonder?

[@deantams8666]

Pardon me but I’ve been a railway enthusiast for quite awhile now and I’ve never heard of a ash train, what’s it’s purpose, do all steam railways use it and how come I’ve never heard of it before?????

[@FfestiniogWelshHighland]

The purpose of the train was to move waste ash and use it to reinforce and widen some embankments. I'm sure some railways do a similar thing.

[@Isochest]

Was the ash turned into a concrete mix?

[@traintrackjack6817]
