wat weel aragement is it

These engines are good, in fact there great, they hold there heat really well, and to loose 175psi in a c17 instantly is a very difficult thing to do, and and flogging is an australian railway term that means your over working your engine, heanse flog the fuck out of it
-
What amazes me is the fact the firman leaves the doors open while shoveling in coal, does the engine have a brick arch? If it dont, he is letting the cool ait hit the crown sheet and letting the hot air out. Another thing that supprises me is the engineer yanking that throttle back so hard, he could have lost all of the steam pressure doing that. Oh by the, Im American, what does the word "Floging" mean?

Should still be running, but because of "questionable" handouts to them by the then Howard Government, along with in fighting they had to close down.
As an ex rail investigator from Victoria, I can see why they were stopped crossing onto the main line into Bethania station, (where they originally went to), had to terminate at Logan Village. I sat in the train once, observing the "crew", not once was a continuity check done on the air brakes throughout the train. No wonder QR was concerned.

967 now resides at the Mary Valley Heritage Railway, it is undergoing repairs before its return to running order.
theironhorse12, these locomotives, the C17's do have a brick arch inside the firebox.
tweetsie12190 the wheel arrangement for the C17 is 4-8-0.

I already have but strictly not allowed to.
Not sure it's a good idea to broadcast that footage.
