Day Out with Thomas at the Glenbrook Vintage Railway (ft. rare Mallet locomotive) ~ 02/03/2024 (HD)

After making those Thomas stories in Trainz 2019, I thought it was fitting to go and see a Bagnall 0-6-0 tank disguised as the famous blue E2. On the first weekend of March 2024, the Glenbrook Vintage Railway held a Day Out with Thomas event for the first time since 2020, so it's no wonder why the event was so popular.

Mainline Steam's Bagnall was running shuttles up and down the mainline connection at Glenbrook, while WWs 480 and 644 (two 4-6-4 tank engines) were each running their own service to and from Fernleigh, providing 30 minute headways out of Glenbrook. On the way to the GVR, I also filmed KiwiRail's Te Huia and Northern Explorer passenger trains in Huntly; both of which were hauled by a DFB class diesel locomotive.
