Fantastic photography!! Thanks for the great video. Would I be right in assuming most of those locos belong to Seymour Steam Pres. Soc.? Did i see S303 in there somewhere? Many thanks and keep up the great work!!

Brilliant.....stepping back in time.
You've had plenty of experience Rocketboy so may I ask if the ''ground relay'' problem has been overcome or does it still cause hickups today? I don't know who else to ask.... Cheers!

@jagerfaust2009 continuing.......low voltage grounds are anything in the electrical system finding its way to the locomotive frame. Unlike motor vehicles the frame is not the negative side of the system but is isolated. Putting two or more locos together in multi can have some amazing results if they have the right combination of low voltage feeds to their frames.

Those streamlined cab units look and sound just like they would be at home in the USA. Too bad the 2 ex Western Pacific F7s that were sent to Australia won't run on the Australian railways.

@Trainbrain1949 I must have missed this......I think they did run up in the Pilbara on iron ore trains. They can run anything up there. I seem to recall that one may be saved for preservation. If you go to "send message" with an email address I'll send you a pic.
