Mark, Thanks for that story of running 3801 from the big smoke up to Necastle. Brought back some memories. My grandparents' house overlooked the goods yard just north of Gosford station.[:D][tup] Used to love watching a 38 take the Newcastle Flyer through. No wires overhead in those days - early 1950s. At night we often heard the sound of the engines losing traction as they tried to start a train out of the station. Maybe the mail trains were heavy in those days. Have to try to put that in my QSI sound system when I get my C38 from Eureka. I suppose as a professional railway man that noise would be a horror to you. Seemed to happen reasonably often if I remember back.
