    Hi Graeme, I really appreciate you rescuing this footage and sharing it with us. It really brings the reality of the steam alive for those of us who were not fortunate enough to see it personally for ourselves. The scenes that really opened my eyes was the b & w footage of the 17 Class and the scene of the final run of 3402. How marvellous that someone was there to record it.

    Just found this - it's great thanks. All the way from express passengers behind a 38, to the much humbler mixed train making its way in after a different journey - perhaps from Richmond or Kurrajong, if the clip is early enough. Then into the carriage sheds before venturing into the suburbs. A great find, thank you for posting this.

    Many Thanks for sharing these "Great" memories Grahame , you & Phil have captured many "Great" scenes from around N.S.W. for many years & we ( the rail enthusiasts of the world ) are in great debt to your efforts & as a person who's born in Sydney in 1966 - I remember many of those fond memories of steam hauled excursions in the 70's & 80's & that's 1 reason to model these in both HO & N scale model railways plus be a member of the N.S.W. R.T.M. for many years ; do keep up the great work!

    I used to catch red rattlers from Parramatta in 1965. There were regular steam trains coming through from Penrith - that would stop, but not pick up (supposedly). Making a phone call to Penrith at that time was a trunk call - had not been connected to the local system.

    Epic; the film looks like it was exposed and processed yesterday. Another 10/10; thanks for posting. I live in hope that you will eventually discover some footage of pre-1970s Bankstown rail operations.

    Also right at start a saddle tank engine.
    20 class ?
    They were mainly out at Penrith. So much rare loco action here.

      The saddle tank was a Z26 class, the Z20s were standard tank locomotives

    Along with my like-minded rail enthusiasts, we can only applaud your recent postings! I think my geography of Sydney is reasonably good, but at around 7:15 is that Pippita? Sure seems to be - minus the footbridge🤔🤔And that activity at the start at Redfern!! Keep ‘em coming - please!!

    • @BelbinVideo
      @BelbinVideo  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks Andrew. The station with all of the work being done is Blacktown and the B&W shot of the 57 is near Chullora Junction

    • @andrewr2825
      @andrewr2825 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    • @colinhussey5028
      @colinhussey5028 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Initially I thought Pippita but with the amount of other lines I was sure it was somewhere else. Did not pick Blacktown but on reflection and with little change when I worked as a fireman in the 60's it hit my memory bank.

  • @BelbinVideo
    @BelbinVideo  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    For the person who asked about the location at 6.10 with all of the work being carried out, I believe it's Blacktown.

    Awesome historical content, many thanks for sharing.
    Curious to know if the ancient 17 class not in steam and without it's side rods towed in load at around 5:15 was going to scrap?

    • @BelbinVideo
      @BelbinVideo  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I believe it was, sadly. It sat on the "rip track" out at Enfield for many years but was utimately, scrapped.

      @@paulusintas8627 I think that the loss of the 34s and 58s were both a catalyst for the formation of the former NSWRTM

  • @fordlandau
    @fordlandau 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Fantastic stuff ! Great locos. Tons of 38s.
    Round boilered 36 class.
    Archaic 4-4-0.
    57 ? 58 ?
    However : The rolling stock was appalling even by 1950s standards. Cowboy cars probably already 50 years old.
    Non corridor dog box cars.
    Shabby 1930s stock.
    The only bright spot were the new air conditioned cars ( HUB ) for Newcastle and Riverina expresses. The NSWGR was chronically underfunded by this stage. But a great video indeed. Thank you.
