@Maccification yeh I completely, the old whistle and exhaust were better.. but i still like the one on there now
-
@nosmoking099 I like the exhaust too. It's a crying shame Steamrail removed the double Lempor exhaust.

711 never had its whistle when WCR got her. so they just put a SAR 700 class 6chime on it. WCR had heaps of different whistles on there R classes though

I remember seeing this train come through bendigo every saturday afternoon heading to melbourne. I was even there when they had the opening or whatever for it. Took the mayo of Bendigo at the time at least 4 maybe 5 times to smash the bottle of champagne on the side of it haha
That is an amazing whistle! Great video. Steamrail should now do another trip like this seeing as they have got R711 back on it's wheels!

@trainfan761 Would be great to ride on, but unfortunately I think the turntable at St Arnaud is out of service

I could never understand why R 711 had that whistle at the time. Can you tell me why? Great Video 5/5 favourite.

No idea why it had the whistle, but I reckon it sounded nice!
