  • On 15 May 2024, SteamRanger's steam locomotive 621 "Duke of Edinburgh" ran behind Diesel Alco 958 to Strathalbyn on a test run, then 621 led the return run back to Mt Barker. Enjoy!

    Those police lights on the front of the locos are ridiculous and embarrassing! More red tape overreach!
    [edit] great vid though! 👍

      Too much time with their heads stuck to the screens of their mobile phones to see a 140 ton locomotive on the rails. You can blame woke and political correctness for this crap.
