    Great footage of Helsby, he was a character and a half, lucky to have spent more than a few hours on the footplate of various locos with him back in the 90's/early 00's, great times that i will never forget.

    Thoroughly enjoyed this! When I attended Mornington State School between 1950 and 1956, the weekly train from Frankston would go by the bottom of the school yard every Wednesday. If it wasn’t K 163 it was one very like her - of course in all black livery in those days. ( Can anyone confirm this - or set me straight?). All the kids would hang over the fence and wave to the crew…. Good times!

      It might have been another K. 163 used to work around the Wangaratta area but I could be wrong.

    Funny seeing the guys pull out the Electric staff to unlock the points at Long Island Junction, I'm about to bring a steel train out of there with the click of a mouse. Great footage of the first few runs. Good to see Len May out there and the late Bill Webb. My father would sometimes be the guard on the DRC along with Bill driving.

    Brilliant fottage it will be nice when K163's overhaul is complete and is back running trains on the Mornington railway branchline.
