Preserved Trains of Australia Series - Volume 1
Join Train Pictures on a journey capturing the sights and sounds of preserved railways. A must for any true Australian Railfan, this series brings to you the best of former steam and diesel workhorses of the Queensland Railways fleet. Members of the state's rail preservation societies and groups lovingly restore many examples of historical rail equipment for future generations to enjoy.
On this volume we visit the QPSR and learn all about a Perry Engineering 0-4-2 steam tank locomotive and travel with the driver on a first generation English Electric 1600 class diesel. We follow the old diesel from trackside and on board as it travels over the Swanbank branch line hauling 100 year old heritage cars, past the coal burning Swanbank Power Station. We also follow modern day coal trains working the Swanbank branch and view an early analogue video of Kilrie, the 0-4-2 steam tank locomotive. Presented in high quality colour with stereo sound and narration including locomotive technical notes and bonus footage of PB15-738 working the ARHS Rosewood branch is also included on the DVD version.
Train Pictures is committed to bringing you the best in railroad entertainment, information and education. In order to provide you with the highest quality possible all video and audio tracks on this DVD have been encoded from the original master. Climb aboard and enjoy the sights and sounds of the Queensland Pioneer Steam Railway.
