❤That's you awesome wonderful workshop posting operacion garratt turistic congratulations.
Don't you love that Garratt sound?
We lived in SA in the 1970's when garratts still in regular use - to see ( and hear ) them at full chat on main line from Capetown to Rhodesia was something else
Thx for this beautiful video. I am an absolute fan of steam locomotives and the garratts are such marvelous machines.
I’ve had cab rides on a GMAM, NG16 and K1 Garretts. Magnificent machines.
Travelled from Cape Town to Broken Hill a few times and from Joburgh to Wankie / Bulawayo / Salisbury in the 1960,s all behinded Garratts
I'm from India and never seen before such steam locomotives. In my childhood period I traveled a lot in such trains. The sound of these locomotives still facinates me. Thanks for video.

These Locomotives were in service from 1964 to 1968.
My dad for awhile worked for the RR
Shame about the wind noise, a decent fluffy mic sock would cure that.
on 3ft 6 Gauge
Why can't I see how many coaches there are?
I find the Garrett locos really weird...Linda
Not gonna lie, the Garratt looks weird with it's stumpy water bunker
