This is awsome! Why don't we ever do anything like this in the UK.. Oh wait "elf and Saftey" would get in the way, and the locos could only do 12.1MPH Tops, incase they hit a fly, or the "Green Nazis" would come out in force about Burning coal... Blah Blah! :( Such a shame!
Total Respect to the Drivers and Engineers of these fantastic Locos!!
Anyone up for a Standard Class 5 vs a GWR Hall/Castle? :-) Hell I'd pay a lot of dosh for a ride on that!! :)
This year it will be only 3830 and the Tiger Moth Plane but this race will never be forgotting because there are two 38's racing down the mainline of Maitland.
I think we as the British should be made the masters of trains. Out of the 3 types of loco (Steam, Diesel and Electric) We Hold The Record In Two! Steam (LNER Mallard) and Diesel (BR HST 125) And The French Have One. (TGV) So I Think We Make The Best. :P
Personally was never a fan of British locos (apart from the Mallard) but I'll take my 38 class over that any day. Forget the records, these things are work horses and 3801 is a legend. Full respect to your locomotives though, British did have some clever designs. Everyone is entitled for an opinion.
True true I have seen the 3801 pass through campbelltown station and she is a spectacular loco, the pretties I have ever seen..I often use to hear her sunday morning as she pulled into the station and I will never forget the sound of her whistle.
@LokDave haha the only thing that germany gave to the world was H!tler... ps sorry but its true... So dont pick on our trains & for the 3801 its a beauty for a Steam Engine & is a Legend in Steam.
The two locos race against the TIGER MOTH aircraft, they make a bit of show of it between themselves, I don't think the loco vs loco was a real race but none the less it a fun run. They still belt their guts out.
Hey, it's not often easy to hold a camera steady on a fast moving train but well done for your efforts. Amazing footage there; bet the coal and water consumption was quite something!

Hmm, cool, I wonder what speed those tings are pushing, it definatly has to be over 100Km\h (60Mph)
NekoMasterMax 2 years ago 4
In this video I'm not 100% sure, although I would dare say we were moving at 100km/ph, the locomotives themselves are capable of more than that.

Correct. This is due to 3801 having it's boiler and firebox overhauled at the present.

This Stemlocomotive ist awful and not beautiful. You must see our german Trains! They are very pretty and awesome! 1 Star

3801 may not be the fastest steam engine but one of the best steam engines in Australia and NSW.
sodor600 4 years ago 7
Great to see 3801 still very capable after all these years, fond memories from 1970/71 at Cardiff Loco works near Newcastle..

Sorry about the shakes. The carriages were bumping around a bit and I couldn't keep my hand still for the whole thing.
