Here's some footage off a lost tape that Idiscovered last week which was still retrievable. Something a bit different - 4490, 4520 & 5910 running light engine from Thirlmere to Penrith where they were put on the front of a train hauled by 3801 and the the consist then proceeded to Lithgow loco depot. Recorded on November 17th, 1995 in appalling weather conditions.
Enjoy,

It was the day before the locos worked separate freight trains from Lithgow to Orange as part of the celebrations of the 140th anniversary of NSWGR.
