  • Travel with the train driver in this footage from years gone by as we journey from Wangaratta to Benalla and arrive in the back platform at Benalla back in January of 2017 in the North East of the state of Victoria, Australia in an N class diesel locomotive.

    Great Job Colin, I do miss my Standard Gauge N Class Locomotives on the Albury line

      It would be nice if the N class still ran the Albury. 👍😀

    A bit of vertical quiver in the opening minutes, that's called the *Jelly* Effect. Got to be Jelly 'cause jam don't shake like that!(to quote Benny Hill) LOL😁

      Didn't know that was a Benny Hill quote.
      But I have heard it in an Alabama 3 song, hypo full of love.
      Aside: I googled it and it is a song by Glen Miller 1942.
      Apologies for going off track😊

      @jonnawyatt I'd love to find the clip here, but basically it was Benny as the American actor W.C Fields. He'd sing a song and every time he got to the line, "...a lovely little bell..." a buxom young blonde would shake her boobs. The top she was wearing had bells on it.
      Anyway, after the second or third time she does it, he adds as an aside, "It must be Jelly, cause Jam don't shake like that..." 😂😂😂😂😂
      Whatever the Origins of the line are, I've always associated it with that sketch. And it's got to be fifty years or more since first aired on Australian TV.
