More great stuff from your camera, Richard! :-D Do you have a clip from 2/3/08 of 3642 climbing the grade from the 00:37 mark in this clip? I was there this year and took a video clip, but 200 mb is too much to upload, un-compressed.
With those silver tyres on the engines wheels all of those come South Africa annd was shipped to Queensland and the 3801 engine goes all the way to Queensland to get those fitted which is the only state to have the biggest railway crane to lift a 38 engine to put the tyres on the wheels.
A NSWRTM member told me and my dad about since 3801's Display day at the NSWRTM sidings.
risky we live not to far from thirlmere and was wondering whats happening with the Great 3801, havent heard her pulling into our local station in awhile, is she being fixed?
Pitty I didn't know it was going to happen. Would have pointed to camera at the wheels otherwise. Got 3801 & 3830 there the next day & made sure I followed 01's wheels, but it didn't slip... 3830 did!!!
No, not England. All the shots in this sequence were taken within 90Km south of Sydney, New South Wales Australia, on or near the main line that runs to Melbourne, Victoria. The single track shots were taken on the Thirlmere Loop Line that runs between Picton and Mittagong, in the vicinity of the Rail Transport Museum's site at Thirlmere, where the first Steam Festival of 2007 was being run.
There is a new gangster movie coming out set in the 50's&60's and the 3801 introduces the opening sequence.

3801 itself did not go to Qld. Only the driving wheels went up there. The engine itself remained in Sydney.

What's the top speed for this locomotive?
I've only seen a few clips of it going resonably fast, but not very fast.
PhilipGriffin1234 4 years ago
Officially 120km/h, but has been know to go a fair bit faster.

Brilliant! Where is this line? Assuredly not in the English Lake District, which also has a Thirlmere!
