It was great to see D3 639 out for the first time in years today!

[@ThompsonSteamtrain]

The best highlight of the day was to see a fan favourite steam engine back in action for seven years

[@ianoverton1733]

Excellent job. Loved seeing the footage at Newport Workshops and seeing how much effort goes into making sure we get to ride these absolute beauties.

[@grantmarchesi4899]

Great video, good to see 2 of the oldest locos in the country out doing what they do best.
Just think, the D3 class & the A2 class where the backbone of the V.R. back in their day & now these are the only survivors in running condition.
They truley are something to cherish.

Another well done video with nice yard action!

[@G516R700]

was great to see the D3 out and about again. Hopefully sometime soon it will return again on the mainlines

[@NicholassTrainChannel]

Nice video mate. It was nice to see the D3 out today. I even rode behind it a few times it was a good day today.

[@Falkirion]

Caught the 11:50 departure from Essendon. Good to see that D class back out on the mainline

[@Thetiersofmadness]

All aboard the hype train😄

Back in black!

Wait until the climate clowns discover steam trains. Imagine the meltdown they'll have when they see both coal and emissions.

[@JacobGrimaR761]

Lets hope they don't find out

@@JacobGrimaR761 I don't care what they say, steam was the beginning of railways, and you can't deny history, it happened, get over it. Seeing a steam loco running is the greatest tribute to that history.
