| Description |
Steam Locomotive 3801 - west of Springwood - NSW Blue Mountains. This was the first of the 4-6-2 'Pacific' class, also called the '38 class', locomotives built in 1943 for main line express operations. There were 30 '38 class' locomotives built but only the first 5 built had the streamlined body/nose, the rest of the 38 class fleet (25) were flat nosed with a round boiler body. This engine became noted for hauling the Sydney-Newcastle Flyer from the 1940's to the 1960's. The original livery on this locomotivewas grey and later painted green with yellow striping; which is the more familiar colour of this engine. 3801 was on lease to a group called 3801 limited, <a href="http://www.3801limited.com.au" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.3801limited.com.au</a>, which ran special steam days with this locomotive. Unfortunately the lease expired and 3801 has been returned to the NSW Transport Museum at Thirlmere: <a href="http://www.nswrtm.com.au" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.nswrtm.com.au</a>. 3801 is currently undergoing a full mechanical overhaul. See <a href="http://www.3801.com.au" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.3801.com.au</a> for details. In my younger days I was a fireman on this locomotive; although I never fired it on a run over the Blue Mountains. |
