Kingston Flyer Pt13 - NZR Ab 795 and TR350 (drone)
Channel: Chuff Daddy
Date: 2023-11-22

This is the 4th and final video in a series of videos covering the servicing of Ab195. Kingston Flyer Pt9 - https://youtu.be/eIzrwuU5lNQ, covered water refill. In Kingston Flyer Pt11 - https://youtu.be/_Cf4dD89o2I,,  Ab 795 coal was refilled and the loco moved onto the turntable. In the previous video, Kingston Flyer Pt12 - https://youtu.be/5dXBOyzvDpY, Ab 795 is half turned on the manual turntable when the muscle runs out and they have to get a truck to help get the turntable moving again. Here Ab 795 is moved off the turntable and is basically ready for bed and tomorrow, all that is needed is a few more shunting moves.

The little red 0-4-0 TR 350 shunting loco is on the move so this is not the last video of the action at Kingston.

We take a short break from the usual NSWGR steam locos for a quick trip across the ditch for some videos of the Kingston Flyer: https://thekingstonflyer.nz

Aqua Phoenix (provider of drone footage) stumbled across this NZR Ab class steam loco and was kind enough to capture some drone footage as well as test out a recently purchased iPhone. Thanks also to Aqua Phoenix’s offsider, Agent 99, who was coerced into taking the ground based footage.

More info on the NZR Ab class loco can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NZR_AB_class

Having stumbled upon the Kingston Flyer a few days before, today the pair have returned to not only capture footage as the train is prepared, but to also ride the train.

A departure from previous silent drone footage, I’ve gone to the trouble to add a little music. This music is titled “Swing Train Big Band Miller Style” and was arrange, played and produced by Julius H. of Germany. He is available for hire at Pixabay - https://pixabay.com/users/juliush-3921568/

Thank you Julius H. and Pixabay for making it so easy to make a small donation and legally add some music.
