I watch this video so much over 90 times
Great to hear you enjoyed this video Adam. Thank you so much for your support.
Amazing content mate my parents property backed onto the line between mt Barker and Littlehampton ❤❤❤❤❤❤ brings back many memories
I am really pleased you enjoyed the video. Thank you very much for watching it.
The business will need to invest more into the track, much more if your dream of 520 going to Victor Harbour cames true.
They need to extend to Adelaide again
Bro I want the 520 in a Gloss Black so bad. Is Australia’s most impressive steam engine by far
It is a magnificent locomotive. It will be great to see it back in steam on the railway in the future.
I hope it gets restored sometime soon 😢
It will be a great day when 520 makes its first run to Victor Harbor.
Same I just think about when it will be restored
By the way how much till 520 up and running
The first run under its own steam is still a little way off yet but lots of progress has been made this year. A couple of jobs recently include the boiler tubes which are being worked on at the moment, and the smoke box door which was trial fitted.
Ok when are they put the boiler on will it be this year
You want to see it run again, donate money. 😊
Yep, I have made a couple of donations to the restoration project. At some stage I hope to send another one via the 520 web site.
Please let 520 be restored back to Black🙏
I will certainly be covering 520's return to steam in the future and producing a video on the Rail Media UA-cam channel.
Green is a classic colour
Black is ok colour sep 621 and 224 as207 all black why?
I used to volunteer at Dry Creek back in the mid 80s and 520 was always my favourite and always will be !
She is a beautiful locomotive. It will be a great day when it makes its inaugural run from Mount Barker to Victor Harbor in the future.
Me too. Me and my dog, Gigi, loved going down there on Saturday mornings.
