As a child I used to live next to the Newcastle Sydney line in NSW and used to love seeing the Garrets under full load - it was a sight to see and hear !!!

Yes indeed, distinctive locos. I have been to the old works in Manchester too. However, I don't think that the engines in Myanmar will function again ~ unfortunately!
Thanks for your comments.

I´m only here, because i saw the Garrat locomotive

[@johnmwarr]

It would be good to see it returned to steam! Enjoy the film.

Thanks for the interesting video. Garrett's locomotive is of great value now. As an example of a unique technique.

I trust that it will be preserved in that troubled country. ~ many thanks for your interest.
