	Queensland Coal BLACKWATER SYSTEM(Reference #O14) This DVD shows heavy coal trains up to 7000 tons and at a maximum of one mile in length running on 3 foot 6 inch narrow guage in Queensland. These trains are some of the heaviest trains you will see running on narrow guage tracks anywhere in the world. We get to see a number of trains headed by two 4000 class locomotives usually with a mid train helper. These engines are 3300 h.p., designed by Clyde Engineering and introduced in 2000. Where earlier 2800 and 2300 class locomotives are used four units are need to pull the heavy trains. Although mainly coal hoppers we do also see other freight movements. In addition to lots of coal traffic, you'll see some passenger trains, including the Electric Tilt Train, Australia's fastest, and some regular freights. by Highball Productions 90 mins * colour AVAILABLE IN REGULAR OR WIDESCREEN FORMAT.

Sydney's Colourful Trains(Reference #O13) The trains of Sydney, Australia. We first take a look at Enfield Yard and the locomotive facility. Next is a visit to the Botany Goods Line, followed by an interlude at Sandown, where Freight Australia units take a tank train out, we get a brief ride on a T class switcher, and a pair of ancient Alco's, one a PA look alike, start up and drag their intermodal away. Sydney has a high density suburban service, and we also take a look at the light rail and the monorail. Next it's off to Cowan for a freight and a work train, and finally we visit the Hunter Valley for high density coal train drags with Class 90's and elderly dmu's. We also see the Indian Pacific and XPT passenger trains. Lots of action and colour. Now for something completely different! We might love American railroading but it's great to get a chance to see other countries operations. by Highball 105 mins * colour * narrated Price: £20.00
