Outstanding video. You have captured the experience so well!

Thank you. I am very happy you enjoyed the ride 👍 😀

Being narrow gauge (and very old), the cars are prone to suddenly jerking sideways. This meant if we were too close to the window, we would crack our heads on the glass. A bit painful but it did make everyone else in our group laugh. 😂
It was a great day and I highly recommend a visit to one and all. Thanks for bringing back some wonderful memories. 😁

[@driver667]

You're welcome. It's a great trip for sure 😀 Glad you enjoyed it 👍 😀

So driver 667 is now also pilot 667. Pilot of a drone that is. You are working that thing beautifully. Love it.

[@driver667]

Thank you 😀 Very happy you enjoyed the video 👍 😀

[@noelroberts8199]

Love this video, it shows it from where the train actually travels through this barron landscape, not like your other videos of the train from the front of the locomotive, great views from the aerial shots as well, good job 667......

[@driver667]

Thank you. I like to get something a little different in to the line-up every so often. Very happy you enjoyed it 👍 😀

There is nothing like steam locomotive and away we go.

[@driver667]

They are a living creature 😀👍

We were there in September 2016. WE were on a 1927(?) railmotor and the driver let me stand in cab as we travelled.We are now FaceBook friends and , at one time, were both stationed at Korumburra.

[@driver667]

Sounds like you were on the Brill railmotor. The Victorian railways had a Brill and a trailer for trial but went with the DERM's. Glad you enjoyed it 👍 😀

[@neilringram]

We certainly were Richard.
