Thank you Jim, its been a while miss all your regular videos, glad you shared this one, I'm in Lindenow and would really love to volunteer with this little group but its a long way to drive hehehe Im a retired Driver and rail safety Instructor...again Jim thank you so much for sharing this its good they are moving forward regards Doc from Lindenow
Hello Jim. Long time no see. You sound well and this is an awesome project. I just asked my husband the other day where I can get some railway tracks from so I can have my own train. Toot Toot!
Jim, would you be so kind as to ask the group to put up some video about the transmission and drive arrangement please. I'm intrigued that this is a mechanical drive machine. Also, the wikipedia page lists this class as having a Cat D355E engine but I'm wondering if they actually meant D353E. I'm unable to find any online reference to a D355E engine. If they could post the engine serial number, that might shed some light on the engine model.
The ex QR locomotive (Dh class?) appears to have a mechanical drive, shaft driven. Your existing locomotive also has jackshaft drive, so is also diesel-mechanical? Q from NZ, 1067mm here as well.
Hey Jim, great to see a new video from you. Hope all is well🙂 Heavy lifts are always a challenge, this went really well. Take care, Cheers Glen.
Thanks Glen I'm doing fine and I hope you are also.
