I’m going here for my birthday next week, looking forward to it!
@@tfrowlett8752 great stuff. Hope you have a great birthday 🎂 👍😀
@@driver667 I just went yesterday, it was a great day! Got lots of good footage. My trip was with the steam train and the South African coaches, we went the opposite way to this video
@@tfrowlett8752 great. I need to come back over sometime and video the other direction also. 👍😀
It looks like my Wife and I will be touring via train.We will book a journey. Nifty Jones.
@@niftytwo sounds good. A great way to travel. I hope you both have a great time. 👍😀
I've enjoyed good meals at the Dwellingup pub,hope it's still the same!
Had a few meals in there. I agree, good meals. 👍 😀
I did this trip in March in conjunction with Casey tours, thoroughly recommended, Ian p
It is a very nice trip. Well worth the visit. Glad you enjoyed the ride 👍😀
Some of those trees were pretty close to the loco, but this time none of them looked like Japanese movie monsters. 😋 Thanks for a great trip.
Very happy to hear you enjoyed the ride along the line. 👍😀
Wonderful video
Glad to hear you enjoyed it 👍😀
I didn't know there was a V Class Locomotive
It was Tasmanian before going to this railway in the 1980's. 👍😀
I remember the link couplers well, when I was a shunter at Forrestfield and Kewdale in the 70's. They scared the hell out of me. That was a very gentle bump and not like it was in real times where it was pitch black, or raining, or both. The engine would continue on after the chopper links were made and you had to be careful to keep moving with it.
Times are much safer than back then. Glad you enjoyed the video 👍😀
Execellant video
Thank you. Very happy you enjoyed the ride 😀 👍
Damn shame we don't or can't have more of this kind of Train journey in the S/W.
Let alone the old passenger services to Albany and Esperance.
So what if they had to be subsidised, a lot of people would have loved them.
It would be nice to see passenger services to a few more places in WA. 👍😀
Interesting. Yoke coupler on the loco and NCDA coupler on the wagon. The wagons looked a bit like R class open wagons. The beauty of the NCDA coupler was that you could close or screw the coupler down tight and remove virtually all coupler slack. The Yoke coupler was the weakest of all the wagon couplers the the old W.A.G.R had and up until the late 60/early 70’s the NCDA was the strongest. As to the track I know nothing. I wasn’t in the Dwellingup area. However, Holyoak is close by and my mother grew up there.
I've always worked with knuckle couplers in Victoria. Management of the slack in knuckle couplers is required or it could be a terrible ride back in the cars. Glad you enjoyed it 👍 😀
@@driver667 I agree. They were called Alliance Couplers. I drove 1400 metre freight trains out of Kalgoorlie and Perth. I finished up as a suburban driver in Melbourne. However, W.A was my training ground and the old W.A.G.R was my trainer. What a life! Best job in the world.
@@stanleyj.mitchell4851 a lot of good stories and memories along the way. 👍😀
👍
👍😀
How about a map? Also, is this a narrow gauge track ?
I'm looking at including maps. Yes, this is 3ft 6in gauge. 👍😀
Apparently the Hotham Valley railway is going to extended south 👍
Not sure about "south" but they have always wanted to extend south east to Boddington along the former line that once ran to Boddington and Narrogin. Pinjarra to Boddington would be a very good ride and a major tourist attraction for both Pinjarra and Boddington. Not sure where they are with that ambition.
Boddington would be nice as a destination. It's about 40km more distance. The rail is still in place to Boddington although it would need a complete rebuild. I don't know what plans, if any they have but I would be excited to hear of it being a possibility. 👍😀
@driver667 yeah a little unsure what is happening. My aunty mentioned it on mothers day 👍👍
@ianmorris7485 I'm unsure but I heard something about tourist railway extension
@@adamdixon1685 🤞👍
Is this a tourist railway?
It is a tourist railway. 👍😀
Hello! If the train goes into a train that’s on an angle the platform will the train be higher? ALSO why are trains higher than platforms, why higher?
Some platforms are lower than others. 👍😀
@@driver667 but every train S higher then paptifrm and why diffrent
Also is it possible for trains to derail at train stations or for no reason?
Trains can derail anywhere but there is ALWAYS a reason why. Three common reasons are rails losing gauge due to buckling of the rail (especially in summer), washaways due to heavy rain and broken rails.
👍😀
@@ianmorris7485 what’s yo mwan loose gauge?
That’s why there gaps so they spreads but what gauge
@@driver667 why they taller then all platform
