[@coolhand1964]

Thank you Mr Frosty for taking the time to make this great video and letting the only sounds be the ones we Iike to hear. 👍🇦🇺

A Garratt pulling a passenger train , and the indignity of a back-up diesel !

[@FrostysRailwayVideos]

I can't complain too much, it removes the need to run around at the end of the trip which gives us more shuttles.

[@simonf8902]

Correct. It’s push pull. There’s no siding or loop at Wimbledon where the train runs to.

[@JoelDavies-cl6nr]

The diesel is required only if there is a mechanical problem with the steam loco. This has been a requirement for many years now. You'll probably find that the diesel is "free wheeling".

[@darylcheshire1618]

In suburban Melbourne, the banking loco is usually another steam loco. My concerns is the computerized systems won’t be able to allow a loco to run around and the points will have been removed anyway.

@@darylcheshire1618 What's that got to do with a Garratt and a Bathurst shuttle ? Both are a long way from Melbourne .

[@thegardensentinel]

Lovely scenes, good panning shots and well chosen locations. Some excellent still shots in there, too - the whistle is crisp and the "fluttery" one shows a firemans/drivers "hand" very nicely.

Superb video 🚂even the back up diesel is vintage 👍

[@johnnichol9412]

I started out thinking that the first couple of shots were a bit static and that pan and zoom would be more interesting. You then answered my view by doing just that. Great filming, thanks for posting this.

Good video :)

[@struck2soon]

Nice footage. Shame about the diesel! Is this the only operational Standard Gauge Garratt in the world?

[@FrostysRailwayVideos]

Many thanks! I'm far from an expert but I believe it may be.
