Hi Simon, what a comeback!! Parallel running with these amazing locomotives, 5917 and R766. Interupted momentarily by a freighter, minimalised by good editing. I have been told that R766 has been purchased and now belongs to NSW heritage fleet and that she has been converted to an oil burner. I hope you can set me straight on this. Great video, well done.

R766 looks so odd hauling NSW stock. Just not right!
