Great video, was for sure a great weekend and was awesome seeing the mix of locos in steam and running that weekend. Great to see B72 & S301 out in the sun too finally.

Extraordinary video Jamie, good on you mate. I was at the steamrail open day on sunday and i loved every moment of it. I also bumped into an old friend of mine, John Hoy! He used to be operations manager at Puffing Billy, but now he's vice president and operations manager at the victorian goldfields railway. He'd often invite me onto the footplate for cab rides when i was young. It was so good to see him again. By the way, the train and hobby show is coming up this weekend. Hope to see you soon Jamie. Take care mate Kevig

Awesome comment mate! Thanks for your nice comment towards this video.

Impressive that they have three Hudsons (or whatever you call 4-6-4s down under). There are no operable Hudsons in the U. S. currently. Canadian Pacific, I guess now Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC), has returned theirs to operating for now to celebrate merging with Kansas City Southern and having continuous ownership from Canada to Mexico. It was also good to hear a normally aspirated EMD/GM cab unit running at near full-throttle, a sound getting rarer and rarer in the U. S.

Thanks for sharing, we call 4-6-4s here R class Hudson steam locomotives. I believe they were used on high-speed passenger trains a lot around the '60s until the VR diesel took their place. Very interested in the steam locomotives you guys have over there, I still watch videos and can't believe the size of them. Cheers mate 😊
