    It’s was amazing how it was inner city but had an urban feel. Thank you

      The line to Hurstbridge runs out into the green wedge of Melbourne and suburbs. It is a nice line. 👍😀

    I love the way vast clouds of steam shoot forward from the pistons when the K class starts moving. Makes me think the K stands for Kamouflage. 😁

    I remember my 1st train ride by myself @ 5 yrs old was behind steam in a Parlor Car in 1955. Since then have logged over 250,000 km by rail.

    Around 18:50 she might have been beating the speed limit slightly, She can really hike along. Gee I love this old girl. As a kid in the 1950's I had a Triang train set with beautiful old locomotives like this..........

    That was the most unexpected ride for me to see, the Collinwood Town Hall, after that, the place where I used to live close to the Fairfield station. I used this line for more than 40 years to go to my work or do any other social activity for my family's needs. The driver's view is fantastic. Thank you very much.

    At 6:24 there is a STOP sign, does that mean that part of loop is now not used?

    • @driver667
      @driver667  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No, it means that track is temporarily out of use for track work. 👍😊

    It must be such a buzz driving a steam train through Melbourne and soaking up all that attention from bystanders as you chuff by. Mum and dad lived near the Yarraville golf course and Mum said you'd always know if Geelong won by the whistle of the steam train as it passed through Spotty and Yarraville.

      I think it is to help with buffer lock that can happen on tight curves. But I am not an expert on this. 🤔👍😊

      If it's at higher speeds it might be the connecting rods. But it might also just be a metal thing dangling and banging against metal in the rhythm of the locomotive
