Rail Around New South Wales - April 2021 Special Edition: WELCOME BACK 3801!

[@TrainBloke38]

This is the best documentary I’ve ever seen on 3801, it feels like a modern version of The 3801 a legend in steam doco

[@NWR1991]

Thank you for the compliment and the comparison :)

[@WasatchGarandMan]

The 38s, and 60s are some of the NSW's best. Absolutely love them

[@daynajenkin9183]

Can't wait for 3801 80th anniversary in 2023

[@stepneybulstrodemusic1761]

Just when I thought I didn’t need more reasons to visit Australia

[@Mocolania]

I love 3801’s whistle! It sounds so classic!

[@alfimate3712]

3801 is my favourite Australia steam engine, The Steam Train Passes was where I was introduced to her, I’ve never seen an engine so beautiful

[@fanofhiro808]

Bro, the whistle gave me goosebumbs. It's so beautiful

[@TweetsieRailroader]

An absolutely wonderful video my good sir! The 3801 is certainly a nicely proportioned locomotive, and it must be nice for y'all "Down Under" to see her out on the rails again. Looking forward to seeing more Rails of New South Wales! Happy Railroading!

Amazing and for a Correction there the LMS had 4 cylinder 4-6-2 Pacifics which were the Princess Royals and the Duchess Pacifics

[@NWR1991]

My mistake, must've been a mistake that I'd written in the script and didn't check over that.

[@TERRYBARTLETTRAILMAN28]

Thats okay but we had a 4-6-4 loco and that was the W1 Hush Hush loco designed by Gresley

Bravo nwr1991 3801 a true legend of steam she makes the Pennsylvania k4 1361 blush in shame congrats on video and keep up your vids on aussie steam

[@joeythecat7482]

With your hype of 3801, that's they hype us Americans had for the return of the 4014

[@terrier_productions]

And the UK’s hype for ex-LNER 60103 Flying Scotsman return in 2016

[@844SteamFan]

Every country has _it’s_ locomotive...

[@terrier_productions]

@@844SteamFan let me guess, USA: UP Big Boy 4014 AU: NSW 3801 UK: LNER 4472/BR 60103 “Flying Scotsman (and possibly even LNER 4468/BR 60022 “Mallard”)

Excellent documentary of 3801 as well fantastic video of the fabulous locomotive in action during it launch weekend 👍👍

[@JrtheGreenFox]

Welcome back 3801 you are my favorite Australian Steam train!

[@kingorry7223]

Wow, that was an amazing documentary, i didnt realise that so much had happened in 3801s life!

[@nswtransportfilms]

Great video! I saw them pass between Warwick Farm and Liverpool coming from Thirlmere! Certainly is a nice change from those Waratah Trains ;) 3801 will be running shuttles down In Albury and then will run the Hydro Express to Medlow Bath from Central Sydney Terminal. Also you can see me mate Adz' Transport Vlogs at 44:44 :D

[@kehldendavid4779]

I'm a fan of this loco even tough i'm not the same country this engine lived

[@bluebellsfan8704]

3801 looks very look! Nice documentary!

[@henryandoliverfan3115]

Wow that engine looks awsome, too bad I'll never see it in person due to living in the UK

You just never know once when COVID is under control and hopefully some normalcy returns. But of course there’s money.

[@TankEngine75]

Watching this the second time,this is a pretty Good video! I'm more into British Steam and British Older Diesels so I learned alot about the class!

[@Fadhiil5112]

Welcome back 3801

[@nathanw7114]

Great work! However, I’m noting one omission and that is the New York, New Haven and Hartford (New Haven)’s I-5 class and the N&W’s famous J Class (they were the 2 candidates that influenced the styling)

[@NWR1991]

I was going to place them in but I omitted them because I wrote that 3801 is famous and was mostly dubbed as the Flying Scotsman of Australia. Not that I’m denouncing the two engines’ fame.

[@paulstuddert3323]

The 38 class streamlining was certainly copied from the New Haven I5 class. I doubt whether N&W's J class had anything to do with it - the I5 class came out in 1937 and the 38 class was designed in 1938-39; the J class didn't emerge until 1941 - too late for the 38 class I would have thought even though 3801 wasn't completed until the beginning of 1943

[@andrewmcneish5309]

what a great history

[@OfficialTrainzGod]

3801 looks like a New Haven RR I-5 but as a 4-6-2 instead of a 4-6-4

[@LFPman]

I have to ask. What NSW stations do you see these locomotives and how do you know where they go? I’m sure it’s not too far for me

[@NWR1991]

I mention the stations and the reason I know they pass through those stations is to research the line, look at the distance from A to B and have this app called ‘Any Trip’ which helps you track the trains, but only on tracks by Sydney Trains, by adding in some codes which are a bit hard to find but you join some Facebook groups you might be lucky to see one. Sometimes they might share a code with the ARTC (Australian Rail Track Corporation) and it’s not hard, all you have to do is Google the abbreviation and then ‘TAA notices’ and a link will take you their. The list of notices are their for every rail movement but it’s easy to go through and you might stumble upon things like maybe ‘THNSW’ or ‘Picnic Train’ or ‘SRS’ which is an abbreviation for ‘Sydney Rail Services’ who operate the picnic train. For the ‘Any Trip’ app, codes only used by the ARTC won’t work. I don’t think there’s any other app that would help you with that.
