Thank you for being out on a trying day weather wise. Excellent quality (as usual) and great to see this c.1889 IIRC veteran on the main line. Who would have thought TF in 2021?
Splendid video. I'm not familiar with Australian steam, but that looks a heavy load for such a small loco - and on wet rails too. (BTW, the cab arrangement has a distinct North British look about it).
Kitson of Leeds was responsible for the design but not so much the local can. From a series of Kitson standardised parts locomotives for the VR. Light and heavy 4-4-0. Light and heavy 0-6-0 And tank engines, 2-4-2 for suburban passenger use and 0-6-2T for mainly shunting.
The related E class 2-4-2T on Royal Train duties in 1901 ; th-cam.com/video/jPmB1GayMjE/w-d-xo.html A long train of mainly twelve wheel luxury coaches and yet the E handles it. A royal train on a royal day.
Adam is this the same Y Class loco that used to be on static display in the car park of the Civic Hall in Ballarat about 50 years ago and made by the Phoenix Foundry.
@@barrysheffield1721 Thanx Barry it was actually more than 50 years ago as teens we would climb all over the Loco with great imaginations and to see it running again is just great.
@@barrysheffield1721 Maybe you could answer a question or two from me, since I'm from the U. S. and not that familiar with Australian railways: 1) Is the entire Australian mainline system broad gauge, meaning 5-foot gauge, I assume, or is there standard gauge as well? 2) Is that an oil tank car or water tank car attached to Y112?
@@ericemmons3040 Australian states had various gauges - 3'6", standard & 5'3" all states capital cities are now connected by standard gauge for freight & pass services
It's for water. Very few stations have water towers or other ways to top up so there's not exactly many options. Also this engine is older and smaller than some of the others they have so it's even more important here.
Steam engines always look, sound and smell their best when there is high humidity and rain. A perfect day for seeing Y112 at its best.
What a ripper video Pannier! From the starting shots in the workshops, to the gorgeous flyover shot and the wheelslip at Albion; great effort!
Great video, looks like the little Y class was challenged.
That brings back wonderful memories for me going into Melbourne as a child on the steam train
Good to see steam trains return to the mainline after 482 days without steam nicely put together video.
Love the steam trains
Great coverage of the journey, here’s to many more steam tours in 2021 and beyond!

The "little engine that could" ...😊
Awesome footage of this important milestone - so glad for everyone involved !!!! LIKE #81
Excellent coverage of the event Adam!
Good shots Adam! It was nice to meet you today

@@johnd8892 Excellent information - many thanks. That link is amazing ....
Awesome shots Adam, it was great seeing you today
Wow-lovely engine beautifully prepared. You all must ave benn so excited! :-)
Marvellous. Thank you.
Great video! Was nice to run into you again in a few spots, thanks for including the headboard footage haha.
great job
She's a beautiful loco, I'll be riding her next Saturday to Ballarat
Great video - thanks for sharing :)
Great job Pannier
Good filming on a tough day. Shame about the mechanical problem.
Brilliant video!
If I had known it was going to be that slow I would have gone out myself! Tough conditions but you did well.
HELP !!!!!!! lol.
Why are they driving with the cylinder drains open all the time ?
Excellent!
Heading For a 1:06
Bound for Victoria 2:34
This Steam Train 4:23
Passed Newport at 5:07
Passing Melbourne Road 6:23
This is For Steam Trains And Aurizon and QR National 8:10
Whilst it would have been disappointing for Y112 to get a mechanical, the bonus of a T would have made up for it!
How long has it been since there was a suburban shuttle on the Ringwood line? I miss a K and R heaving past my house on the line in Blackburn.
I’m mildly concerned how many times o see myself
11:00 see myself
Where are you on it
