I just love Australian trains. They just have such a unique feel to them. And here in the US we recently lost all mainline excursions to new regulations. For some reason 2705 with the face really works... I don't know why, but it just sort of... fits. Thanks for the great video!
CANBERRA, YES- Love that big AD60 Garratt quite a lot and you got some great footage of her in action. Personally I prefer the curves of the GMAM (I've actually drawn an anthro-ed version, hehe) but the bigger standard gauge one definitely did a great job racing. Wish more rail networks allowed steam races, this looked like a lot of fun!
On the branxton shuttle after the great train race the garratt ran a spad nearly colliding with a coal train head on in the pacific national coal base after Greta station when the signal man just managed to switch it to the mainline in time avoiding a catastrophic accident and there were no steam engine replacement drivers either driving the 36 or resting up from Saturday

I love rails around nsw and your channel is awsome
Too bad my country doesn't have any steam engines only a big model display
