You do have good videos featuring live sound film of steam. Some of the steamers sound American like with 5 chime whistles on most of them sounding like New York Central or Union Pacific whistles and the American built 59 Class 2-8-2s having the three chime whistles that sound like Southern Railway 4501's whistle. I have a podcast called Revival Steam. This fictional podcast makes listeners imagine a world of 21st-century American Revenue Trains pulled by steam locomotives. I use railroad sounds from Videos, DVDs, CDs, LPs, and cassettes for the podcast. Of course, I would have to ask permission first before using them. I do have a DVD that I bought from you several years ago featuring sound films. I want to ask you if by your permission, can I use the sounds from the DVD to be used in my podcast?

My father worked on the wharves in Sydney with Customs in the 60's, l worked on the wharves in the early 80's. Not much had changed. Except the shunting was now done with small diesel locomotives. It was the best of times. Sydney was a working harbour, from Garden Island, to Balls Head, Gore Hill, Glebe, Anandale, Pyrmont, Cockatoo Island, Balmain, Drummoyne, Lavender Bay, the list goes on. There was always something happening, it was never boring. 👍🇦🇺

Hi Graeme, I really appreciate you rescuing this footage and sharing it with us. It really brings the reality of the steam alive for those of us who were not fortunate enough to see it personally for ourselves. The scenes that really opened my eyes was the b & w footage of the 17 Class and the scene of the final run of 3402. How marvellous that someone was there to record it.

Only rough plans at the moment. It's still evolving to a degree but most earthworks are done, basically to take it out around the balloon loop and back so the locos will face the opposite way each run. The section shown here is the zigzag up to the engineering works.
