What an excellent source for anyone modelling the era.. so much weathering of the wagons and locos... and notice the lack of railings and spikey pads near the platform slopes... I wonder if any of those lads taking pictures and numbers are still with us, and still doing the same today?

1997 doesn’t, seem that long ago, although in reality it is 24yrs ago & there has been a number of changes to both the infrastructure as well as the rolling stock. I enjoyed that. Thks for sharing.

Wonderful! Some great footage here of "home grown“ locos with plenty of grunt! Thank you for sharing it with us, much appreciated!

Plenty more where that came from; just takes me time to edit each of my 3 hour VHS tapes; I have over 200!

And not a dreaded 66 in sight unlike today... Great video

[@perthdave100]

cant remember exact dates, the first 66 arrived in early 1998, few weeks later on mainline tests.
