Great video from the days when we actually had a railway. Those loco's today, if they didn't end up in private hands would of fell victim to the man from SimsMetal.
Ahhh, the days as a kid you could go to a locomotive maintenance depot and ask for permission walk around and even go into a loco. The 80's were great. Went to Mayne and even walked around Redbank workshops as a kid in Queensland. The OIC trusted us not being idiots and signed a methylated spirit indemnity (probably not worth the paper that it was written on). It is a shame too many idiots wrecked it and then safety enforcement kicked off hard, because the lowest common denominator decided to sue business and government. Ah well they achieved a much more safer place which is a good thing, but lost the close up interaction with people doing their work. Such is life.
Ah yes the 80s... still find it hard to believe they let 14 year old boys run free around a working depot... push bikes parked outside the chargemans office !
Great video, there was certainly alot of variety back in those days
Thanks for the memories I worked at delec
Electric preps at rozelle could be a cruisie job.

In Dynon, you signed a book in the foreman’s office and they let you walk around with a camera.
