Ah, the sights sounds and smells of a bygone era. Magic.

Having spent many very cold nights on the Mudgee Mail thence on to Craboon back in the days of steam I have no wish to travel back to that time.
Good videoing regardless.

Sorry its a 48

[@johnnichol9412]

Try again maybe, how about a 45 as in 4501. Spelt out in the description, on the sides and on the number boards.
