2003: The Victorian Year in Steam
2003: The Victorian Year in Steam: Again we recorded footage all of which is history and much of which is gone forever. 2003 saw many unique events for Victorian steam. Two locos became centenarians, K 153 ran the 100th kindergarten special to Bacchus Marsh. Two dedicated enginemen had locomotives named in their honour. Double-headed R class, always a railfan favourite, traversed Wycheproof's main street.
A two houralmanac featuring over fifty operations and twenty-one different locos, including
- Double R class to Wycheproof via Ingliston Bank and Dunolly;
- J 549 on first Victorian Goldfields Railway steam passenger to Maldon Junction;
- Footplate rides on R 707, J 549 and V 1209;
- D3 639 and BPR #6 turned 100 years old;
- J 515 on Echuca area shuttles;
- K 153 on the final kindergarten special to Bacchus Marsh;
- Five inch gauge 3-cylinder S & H class steaming at Wandong.
A 'must have' production for the steam lover or historian's library.
