Beyer-Garratt 6029 To Goulburn - Steam Trains Australia

[@recoverywithannie6321]

I saw this one yesterday and this morning, I stood by it when they refilled the coal after it arrived in Goulburn yesterday 😊 I can see the tracks from my house and watched it leave for Junee this morning. The 6029 is one of my favourite engines!

Awesome steam power, I was brought up by dad on tales of LMS garratts in the UK, so wonderful to see a preserved one

I like how they 'hide' the Diesels within the train. Top video, thank you.

SharkytheGunzel Agreed!!

Loved the Capture of that Red Kite @7.00 ?

[@catlover2368]

That engine dwarfs some of the USAs monster steam engines

+Destinee Meyer Not really. The UP Bigboy's are 132 feet long with tender and have a tractive effort of 135,375 lbf on 68 inch drivers. The AD60 class Garret only produced 59.560 lpf of tractive effort on 55 inch drivers.

Well the AD-60's produced 59 thousand pounds of tractive effort, but some of the locomotives received enlarged cylinders such as 6029, which increased their tractive effort to 63 thousands pounds.

I wanted to know the name of the diesel locomotive models used as helpers in this composition ..

[@voidjavelin23]

NSW 48 and 44 class locomotives

[@igorcruzz]

​@@voidjavelin23very grateful!

Maybe but Garrets are beasts of burden - and global at t hat. They hauled truckloads of gear all over the world. I am so glad that loco is back on the rails. Al we need now is an SA 500 Class.
