Great vid! I'm traveling over there in late March/early April for 2 weeks from Aus. Do you have any tips or ideas for following the train? Cheers Dan - Melb, Aus.
It is good practice to clear the cylinder drains before making a run at a grade. In addition more steam will be used going up grade, so more water is necessary.
So cool to see this running again
Great video Tommy , i hope to ride this train again some day.
Great shots and locations, pity it was so windy and the sun kept going in and out lol
Thank you. It was a fantastic day and I loved it.
