Video

I know

@@martynpegg1483 sometimes i only have time to jump out and grab a photo. Im not very good at video. Still learning setups and stuff. I may do a compilation of the Garratt’s. That would be fun i suppose.

@@dons_trains Ok Don thanks for replying & all the best Thanks

That’s because it’s exactly what they are doing, training.

@@hippyo1 I'm pretty sure that's what I said, but thanks for your input

@@trainsimulatordriver No worries glad I could help 😊

I'm not sure what the schedule is. I just rock up and photograph whatever happens hahaha

Because it's two wrong. You need to go over their and stand in the corner to.

@@ThePaulv12 i mess it up every time hahaha

Accuracy helps folks more in many ways.

​@@dons_trainsDyslexia IS No laughing Matter but a curable deficit.

because it does...

And a Garant is a gun

It is also a Traction Engine....

spell checking also changes it from an a to an e.

@@dons_trains That's true it does that.

Not sure. Maybe someone else can answer that?

I have gme xrs660 handheld uhf. It scans some programable receive only channels you can put in with the app

@@dons_trains Are they using Victorian shunt channel Sidings 2? cheers

@@nicknick8295 I will check next time i am there. I am scanning all the frequencies the app has available

@@dons_trains Thankyou!

Thanks mate

Looking forward to wet and foggy days too.

Im not sure.

6 awaiting axles and wheels, 7 D exam, 8 D exam, 12 in service, 14 in service, D21 dead, dh5 dead, dh59 needs a minor repair, G42 stored dry awaiting D exam, ngg16/129 B exam. Mostly it's routine maintenance. Ngg16/129 will be out quickest in time for Train Of Lights. If we're lucky 7 might be out in time for Thomas.

done

Not sure... If you look real close, you can see the puffs...

yeah I am dyslexic like sometimes

4 of the DH class still operate on the sugar cane train network, which is a narrower network gauge.

When the alternative is closing then railway and not making revenue, this is a good solution indeed

@@DandamanV we love the Diesels🙂. Don see them out often so its a treat for someone who is there nearly every weekend.

Queensland sugar cane gauge!

I actually really like the diesels. Especially with a fresh coat of paint

I would imagine it would also be good on total fire ban days in summer?

The DH class locos were QR switching locos There were around 80 built by walkers limited in Maryborough Queensland. They have all been sold off or donated to tourist railway's. They were originally 3ft 6 gauge or narrow gauge loco powered by a caterpillar diesel engine. I believe most were sold off to sugar cane mills and they were converted to 2ft gauge. There are still plenty of original examples to see.

@@scottcannell5584 Thank you for the explanation and history. Well done.

see comment below🙂

@@dons_trains got it needed some repair work

It's in the workshops for a B exam. Preventative maintenance basically.

@@trainsimulatordriver I gotcha it’s always nice to have a engine on standby in case the steam engine is unable to operate

Can’t wait.

Is this DH from Queensland/former QR loco?

@@interceptor7905 good question

@@interceptor7905 yep it's a Queensland Walker regauged from 3'6" to 2'6"

Thanks. I Always have a top day up and round Kilmore.

I wonder how many you could fit in it if it was empty. Hahaha

Yeah it makes me laugh every time.

Im not changing it. Sorry not sorry

Thanks

Ground up including regauging and so many changes to suit the needs of PBR

Thanks for your comment. I am not very up to date with the railways in Victoria. Not enough to provide commentary or fill my description with valuable info. Apologies for being lazy.

The double line with the VLocity and Sprinter railcars (V/Line) is broad gauge - 1600 mm. This line once went as single track railways to Albury in NSW with the secondary line to Shepparton in Victoria and Tocumwal in NSW, but since about 2011 the broad gauge line parallel to the standard gauge line from Seymour to Wodonga (Albury-Wodonga is called the 'Twin City') has been standardised. Google is your friend to look up these locations. The tracks to the left are the Sydney to Melbourne main line - standard gauge in Victoria since 1962 - 1435mm, the same as England. There is also originally a broad gauge branch from Benalla to Yarrawonga (Vic) and Oaklands (NSW that was also standardised. When it had passenger services, it was a single 'unit' as you would call it, typically a DERM (diesel electric rail motor) dating from the late 1920s. A lovely rail motor! The line off the Tocumwal one from Toolamba to Echuca was reopened in 2013 but has again been unused since about 2018 IIRC. Hope all this helps.

@@edmundcarew7235 wow. Thanks.
