Wonderful footage of the 6029 working in Australia in modern times, especially after watching some of your epic action videos of the Garratts working in beautiful southern Africa. You seem to certainly find the right spots for filming.

Thank you so much! Every trip is researched to find the spots, but the plan usually goes out the window pretty quickly!

It's just been purchased back by the NSW government. Hopefully will see her run more often!

Wonderful. I was just wondering how tube cleaning was managed on big Garratts? I mean access to the tubes from the leading engine must have been a bit difficult🤔

Yep not sure. I have seen them doing that elsewhere with the front tank off, but that was during overhaul and not really practical other times!

I wonder how many litres of water are exhausted as steam, in the one station to station ride. I also noted dualled engines for a not very long train.

In the 1940's, as a five year old, I used to lie in bed and listen to these engines as they tried to pull a long group of cars. You would hear the chug-chug, and occasionally a rapid chug-chug-chug, as the engine wheels slipped on the tracks.

Nothing like a 60 class at full lope was so happy when i heard they were restoring her. Anyone know if 3801 is still active as I havent heard anything on her in years and it is well past her test time to remain on line with the boiler testing required around every 10 years or so?

@steamfreak 2 жыл бұрын

The AD60 is an incredible loco! And 3801 has been out quite a bit over the past year. I have a few videos of the green bullet from April 2021 when she visited Albury.

My fave loco but just recently, I've watched a few clips on American's impressions of Australia and one of them commented on how many times they'd heard biggest/fastest/tallest/longest in the southern hemisphere. They then pointed out that the southern hemisphere consists of South America (a shit hole), the southern half of Africa (a shit hole) a few Pacific islands, and Australia. You get the drift.

@steamfreak 5 жыл бұрын

It's sad to hear that you think those places are shit holes. In any case Southern Africa had a number of locos more powerful than the 60 Class and on narrow gauge. Most impressive machines, even more so for operating in apparent shit hole countries.

@davidrayner9832 5 жыл бұрын

I didn't say that, the American did. I've been to South Africa and Zimbabwe and loved them both. Too bad I never got to see a 25 NC or the Red Devil.

@@davidrayner9832 ah right, sorry for the misunderstanding. Yep the African locos were impressive. The Red Devil is scheduled to run again this winter!
