    Great vid! Last time I saw a move like this was the old red hens going down grand junction to be scrapped at sims!

    Great video Kane!! With the imminent arrival of Alco 703 at the NRM soon, and the high likelihood that I won't be there to see it happen, this was a perfect addition to my daily UA-cam feed...and it was in the top spot too! Hope you'll be on hand to film 703's arrival.

      Thank you Steve! If anyone tells me when it’s due to be delivered, I’ll definitely try to be there :)

    G'day Kane. Without a doubt, my favourite loco is the 900 class streamliner, number 958 of the steam ranger heritage railway. Painted in SAR green and gold.

    • @Kiwigeo8339

      958 is an Alco powered 930 class. The 900's were English Electric built and powered.

    I think 350 needs a nice new paint job as a reward for being a very useful engine.

      Couldn’t agree more mate, I imagine that will happen once a spare shunter for barker exists.

    Poor old 350 she needs a paint job maybe once they get one of the 830's running the old girl might finially get a rest and a bit of paint.

    • @KanesTrains
      @KanesTrains  2 роки тому +1

      That’s what I’ve heard. Once a capable replacement shunter for 350 is in action, she’ll be getting a good go over.
