VIDEO: 3801 PreRepair + 3526 Spectator Special Parallel Run

[Red_Rattler]

Finally, I was able to edit the video settings on YouTube (getting to be useless at times) after almost a month!

[RACE VOICE] It's a close race, as 3801 comes around the curve, 3526 is following a close 2nd. Wait! 3526 has just overtaken 3801 on the "3801 Pre-Repair Express + 3526 Spectator Special Parallel Run" [END RACE VOICE]

Holy heck! She really is that bilious green! I thought VicTrainz had just got it a little bit wrong... :hehe:

There are a number of interesting vids on YouTube about her and they're all worth watching. She's a beautiful engine; it's just a shame about that colour.



Cheers

First is it me, or has Youtube's quality been downgraded, as I have some better quality videos in the same format!

Nice video when was it taken?

11/11/2007 or for the Yanks, um ur Americans 11/11/2007!

I can't wait till next year when i can actually video 3801.

You may not be able to, until either late 2008, early 2009 - see below.

You'll probably find it has varous shades of green - I thing it is was the closest green they could come up with(1). Better not go into that "debate" with XXX versus XXX museum, but I think 3801 should be used less, and use other engines more - for more variety. But 3801 will be off the road um ur rail for at least six months anyway.

Huhh?

(1) [stamps feet] But it looks better with the waratah flower that use to be on the front

Just after it was built in 1943, it was got nicknamed the "grey nurse." - similar to this Awful colour isn't it? & that's the best photo I could do with some useless equipment I had)

KEYWORD FOR US:
Color, gray

I must agree, its good she's getting a break, about time we got to see a little more variety, with the amount of loco's returning to steam I think we will be returning to the former glory that preservation once was...

Cool video. The 3801 looks a lot like the New York Central streamlined Hudsons that were built during the same period.

That green pain on the engine though. It makes it look like a Lionel O-scale model.
