Tasmanian Transport Museum excursions to New Norfolk, Launceston and Tea Tree - late 2001

As part of an Australia-wide tour, in early November 2001 a small group of British rail enthusiasts with the Railway Touring Company travelled around Tasmania on a variety of special trains. On 5 November the Tasmanian Transport Museum's train (loco M5 plus carriages AAL10 and SP4) conveyed the touring party from Glenorchy to New Norfolk (where they visited the Derwent Valley Railway Preservation Society depot and travelled to No. 1 bridge at Hayes and return with diesel locos X18 and Y2 and DVRPS carriage stock -    • Derwent Valley Railway locomotive X18 at N...  ). The TTMS train later returned to Glenorchy via Hobart. The first section of this video includes views at Austins Ferry, Bridgewater, photo-stop at Dromedary, shunting at New Norfolk and at Botanical Gardens On the following day the TTMS train took the touring party from Glenorchy to Launceston. This trip included a number of photo stops, although persistent rain and poor coal made this difficult. On arrival at Inveresk the TTMS stock was turned at East Tamar and marshalled between Don River Railway loco MA2 and DRR carriage stock in placement for the following days run. The second section of this video includes views at Campania, Danby, Coal Mine Bend, Ross and Conara. On 7 November the touring party transferred to a Don River Railway train to travel from Inveresk to Don. (See    • Don River Railway locomotive MA2 and Tasma...  ). The DRR and TTMS trains were combined for the initial run to Western Junction. At Western Junction the consist was split, with the two trains heading south and west to their respective homes. The tour party then travelled to the West Coast by bus to sample the Abt railway before leaving Tasmania for the next leg of their tour. A few weeks later the society run a number of public trips from their Glenorchy base to Hobart (morning) and Tea Tree (afternoon). The final section of this view shows the firsts train of the day unusually running with the loco facing south – approaching Sunderland Street and arriving into Hobart yard.
