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.
That whistle and galloping exhaust beat is one I've been longing to hear again for years
Well done. Nice capture.
D3 639 has the greatest whistle!
It puts the horn from the diesel to shame.
What a whistle! Gorgeous old girl.
You can say that again!
Don't think I have seen a loco with knuckle couplers and buffers!
Interesting!
@@railroad9000 In Victoria, Australia we call them automatic (auto) couplers.
@@edmundcarew7235 Thanks
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing
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.
Awesome
Fantastic
Nice video what was the reason for D3 639 not running on the mainline for nealy 4 years?
@Lachlan Smith The replacement wheels have recently been machined at Puffing Billy's Belgrave Workshops
She’s a beauty. As are the rest of the locomotives.

Similarities to NSWGR 32 class of the same era.
Nice photobombing by G512 there.
