I got to travel on the J515 seven years ago as a birthday present from the family - travelled on the plate. Great trip from Maldon to Castlemaine and back. Both Maldon and Castlemaine are worth a visit with some good overnight stays. The 549 has obviously had a refurbishment and converted to oil - looks great.
I was wondering why I haven't seen any recent videos of the steam locomotive pulling the VGR trains. Now I know it was because it was being overhauled. Thanks for this.

J549 was always an oil burner and yet the whole line is worth a visit.
What a beauty! Oil-powered by the looks of it.
Fantastic mate, 549 certainly looks mint now, very nice. Well done to VGR on all the hard work
Yep it looks great Alex. I'm sure you'll be riding at some point
That's interesting.
I ❤ trains, trams, take a ride, I have a folder on ''transportation''
(folder 2, in playlists) you will love them too :)
Great. When I find dome time, I'll have a look
@@Schony747 Have a raily great day! :)
Amazing work and also to all involved from VGR on the restoration
Brilliant work from a core group of volunteers
Good work in the wet,great camera shot at 6.00
Thanks! It was an uphill battle for most of the day.
Great Video and great quality.
Thanks for having a look

It's a welcome sight back on the railway as well!
@@Schony747 For sure.
Turntable in nice working order
Yes. The while railway runs well. Lots goes on behind the scenes to make it haporn
Steam is always better in the wet I think.
Unless you're out filming it! I'd suggest the colder weather is great for steam
What was the purpose of the flat wagon between the "J"" and the :Y ?
Probably an additional brake capacity incase the J had problems
Possibly to deal with bridge load limits?
