@kclassproductions It was the first time I have ever filmed K175. We did stay at Mildura one night when we were travelling back to Melbourne from a weekend on the Pichi Richi Railway, but we didn’t have time to look over the K class until 12 years later when we returned to the area. This time Dad and I were on our way back from Broken Hill.

@@johnd8892 It’s something I would definitely like to look into one day 👍

Hi mate. No the K class were always black during VR service. The green boiler on K175 was added after the loco was placed in the park.

And the pink bits are an after plinthed addition. Hopefully just undercoat for a coat of black.

It is always an enjoyable experience seeing and hearing this loco working hard up through the hills.

@@johnhenstock9668 Thanks for that John. I have always liked this locomotive and I plan to film it again in the coming months.

@@railmediaproductions3677 Yes she's a great looking locomotive!

@ Back in 1989 it ran side by side with 4472 Flying Scotsman when it visited Adelaide. It also did similar trips alongside 3801 the year before.

@@ВасилийДударов Thanks very much for that. I am glad you enjoyed the video 😊

It was a good day for filming steam 👍

@@johnhenstock9668 Thanks very much for that John 👍

A Caboose only goes on the back of freight trains, not passenger

Most trains don't have a caboose. That's an American thing from a specific era and only used for freight trains.

@justforever96 Trains had an engineer in the kaboos. His job was to watch the wheels when they went around curves to see if if any of the wheels had locked up. If any wheels have ocked up, the friction will cause a fire . Modern trains have a sensor for this . But vintage trains relied on an engineer in the caboose to watch for this . My grandfather was one of them .

There had been different uses for those cars! Carbooses were orimarily used as the place of the condutor of the freight train. They could do there the necessary paper work, too. Before trains were equiped with airbreaks, people who had to handle the breaks could stay there during winter, when a freight train had to wait in stations until the journey could be continued. If there had to be done some kind of shunting work during the journey, those people necessary for this traveled there. In Europe these kinds of carbooses runed directly behind the locomotives, because a locomotive picked on of this cars just before it went to the teain and when the locomotive was changed on the way, the carboose was changed, too, to ensure that they stayed where they belonge! If a train just runs from A to B without changing cars , carbooses are not realy necessary! Passenger trains had luggage cars instead. But since this is a special train for tourists, which runs in a circle, this is not necessary!

@@lynnmorton7544 It will be interesting to see what happens with M2 in the future. I will definitely be keeping an ear out.

I agree with your first sentence, your second sentence is pure fantasy.

@ Indeed, it's unlikely

@@TrainsDownSouth621 Thanks very much for that mate. She sounded great climbing up Philcox Hill on this day. It will be nice to film it again with the Southern Encounter when it resumes running.

@@railmediaproductions3677 I hope it is

Did you try to see one of these locomotives in steam?

@@johnbrownscombe323 Hi John. I have heard from a couple of people in the last 12 hours regarding M2 and I honestly don’t know what is going to happen to the loco now but I will keep an eye out for updates in the future.

It was still in use in the early 1970's? I'm amazed at that and the fact you've actually rode behind it. The Tanfield Railway is actually on my doorstep and I've seen it a few times. It has since lost its tender body I believe that it will be cosmetically restored and used as a gate-guard, to use an aviation term

It seemed to work pretty well and it's a regular way of moving things with an excavator

@@melaniedennis7598 Thanks very much for letting me know about that Melanie. What will happen with M2 in the future is definitely something that is worth following.

I think the original idea was to house M2 in a museum showing steam locomotives that were constructed by Robert Stephenson & Hawthorns, but I could be wrong about this.

Same reason many of our traction engines went back. We are not great at restoring historic transportation significant machinery like our Australian Standard Garratt, Heavy Harry or NSWGR 3 cylinder 5711. Tasmania had unique 8 cylinder M and L class Garratts and cut up.

@@raymondkennedy9570 Great memories. Its nice that volunteer groups were able to preserve many classes of steam loco from the Victorian Railways. Thanks again for watching this video, my late friend also photographed a few N class as well, including some in a double headed formation with the R engines.

@@raymondkennedy9570 I am really pleased you enjoyed the video. I have more R, J, and K class photos from my late friend, including a few extra ones around Ballarat, and I plan to put these together for the channel at some stage in the future. Thanks very much for watching Raymond 👍

@@TrainsDownSouth621 Very sadly no. I live interstate but I have a lot of family that come from Adelaide. I have travelled to SA many times over the years to film, and I hope to do lots more in the future.

@ ahhh ok

@@johnhenstock9668 Thanks for that John. I have just finished some editing to a large amount of footage I was sent a couple of days ago of 4472 Flying Scotsman’s visit to Adelaide in 1989. I still have to finalise it all, but at this stage there will be at least 4 UA-cam shorts created from it, and also a longer video. It may be another couple of weeks before they are released as the schedule is still pretty full at the moment, but I am aiming to share them on the channel as soon as possible.

@@railmediaproductions3677 That's great! No rush!

@@johnhenstock9668 Glad you enjoyed the video 👍 Thanks for that John 👍

Its good that Thomas & Friends introduced more locomotives in future seasons, and especially well known classes of steam engine.

Just need more young enthusiastic, inquisitive mechanical minded volunteers to help.

@@762Media42 I am glad you enjoyed the video mate. Thanks very much for watching.

Thanks very much for that mate. I am enjoying the videos you have been putting up on UA-cam this year 👍

I am pretty sure there are still plans in place to restore this locomotive to running condition in the future. It last operated in the early 2000's at its home on the Nene Valley Railway.

@@johnd8892 Yes it certainly is. The loco was filmed on display at the Nene Valley Railway’s Wansford yard and museum in 2023.

Its always great to see double headed R class out on the mainline.

Thanks very much for that. I also have photos of 3801 from the Western Endeavour trip, including a few of it double heading with 3813. I plan to feature some of them in a production about 3801 when it returns to steam this year.

@@johnhenstock9668 Thanks for that 👍 I am glad you enjoyed the video. I still have more shorts of 3801’s visit to Adelaide to release but it might be another month or so before they are made publicly available as the schedule is completely filled up at the moment.

@@railmediaproductions3677 Thanks!

@ When I see Keswick I think of the place in the English Lake District - but it never had a train like that!

@ The Lake District in the UK is a beautiful part of the world 😊 My parents visited there back in 1997.

@@TrainBloke38 I also found some photos of 5917’s one off visit to Peterborough as well, and also 3642 around Port Augusta and Whyalla. It is hoped to feature these on the channel at some stage.

@@Nickstrainsandtransport Cheers for that Nick 👍 Looking forward to seeing your videos of SteamRanger along the coast.

@@JohnDoesItAll Thanks very much for watching the video. I plan to film more of 520 in the future.

@railmediaproductions3677 I look forward to it, thank you. 😊

@@Nickstrainsandtransport Thanks for that Nick 👍 There will be more UA-cam shorts released to the channel of 3801 in South Australia over the next couple of days.

@ nice, have you watched the your month your train video on my channel yet if you have what did you get?

@@Nickstrainsandtransport Sadly I haven't had a chance yet Nick but I will definitely get onto it sometime before the end of today.

@@davestrains6816 Thanks for that Dave. It was a great time filming the West Somerset Railway back in 2009.

@@boohoo5750 Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks very much for watching 😊

@@Nickstrainsandtransport Cheers for that Nick 👍 Looking forward to seeing the next SteamRanger video.

Thanks very much for that Dave 👍😄
