"Sayonara 766 - Coalie", This video features R 766's last trip as a coal burner.  On Sun 19 December 1999, the steam year drew to a spectacular close as R 711 accompanied R 766 to her new "home" at Ballarat East in preparation for her conversion to a "Super R" like R711 (but that's another story!).  This thrilling trip included runpasts, heavy acceleration, high speed running, R 766 banking R 711 up Warrenheip Bank, the day climaxing in a parallel run with R 711 and R 766.
