    That whistle and galloping exhaust beat is one I've been longing to hear again for years

      It puts the horn from the diesel to shame.

      You can say that again!
      Don't think I have seen a loco with knuckle couplers and buffers!
      Interesting!

    Australian locos all seem to have excellent whistles.

      andrei tupolev, sorry, i disagree. the nsw 38 class sounds too much like something for boiling water on a stove. a kettle.

    I love the video but one thing I don't get is why people don't like the steamrail board on the lamp iorns like its there to show that this company is running and restoring these locos and if it wasn't for the likes of steamrail and the priavte owners then these locos would of been scraped years ago

      I can appreciate that everything in life is a compromise. I can see a different point too however. Those of us who are not young would like to be able to be transported back to our youth for a few hours. To be able to relive something that was normal then and strange today. Perhaps you don't remember when dirty black D3s were the mainstay of passenger services all around the state. To places that haven't had a railway at all in many decades. So anything that shatters the illusion is not ideal.
