SEYMOUR RAIL HERITAGES BEAUTIFULLY PRESENTED TRIO SLUMBER QUIETLY IN JUNEE YARD AFTER COMPLETING THEIR DUTIES FOR THNSW HAULING THE 60TH ANNIVERSARY SOUTHERN AURA
B61 leads fellow ex-Victorian locomotives S302, S317 and G514 towards Newnes Junction with 1877 SSR freight from Cooks River to Kelso. With the G Class only having recently returned to this service after a stint running grain trains for Westons Milling at Enfield, it was a notable event to get streamliners leading this train again, especially on a now uncommon daylight run west. It might have been less than desirable high summer sun, but one doesn't turn down the chance to chase a veteran like B61 on the mainline.
Anytime one of the bigger horses is sidelined or diverted to other duties, the veterans of SSRs mainline fleet prove that they're still just as able as when they were first introduced. The lead three locos have 172 years of service between them!
As an aside, this chase took the train and myself through no less than three severe thunderstorms, all moving from western NSW out to sea. The second storm can be seen behind the train.
S317 and GM27 pair up to work T279 from Port Botany to Yennora, seen here crossing Unwins Bridge Road, Sydenham.

One of the most amazing sights to grace South Australian Rails for quite a few years was the appearance of Southern Shorthaul Railroad's vintage bulldogs S317/GM27/GM10/S302, seen near Nectar Brook, on a wagon transfer from Port Augusta to New South Wales.
All four locos were in attendance at Streamliners 2016 in Goulburn, NSW just four weeks previous.
S317 and S302 are former Victorian Railway S class units while GM10 and GM27 were originally built for the Commonwealth railways. All are Clyde/EMD six-motor products with 567C donks, except GM10 which is only a four-motor unit with a 567BC.

The streamlined S-Class locomotives are finally finished (unless we modify them further)! I have been helping Teunis with them for the last couple of months. Teunis has built two locos (301 and 302) and I have built a third (303) to go with the non-streamlined S that I built last year.
The design of the boiler, cab, streamlining and tender are all Teunis’s. I designed the running gear including the 3D-printed rods, redesigned the nose, added details such as handrails, and made the stickers (gold vinyl).
The VR crest and lettering were hand drawn based on scanned photographs. Thanks Mike for the loan of the vinyl cutter. Where possible, Teunis has used chromed tiles on his locos. The gold on mine is all vinyl.
The locos are fitted with custom led lights powered by 4xAAA batteries inside the boiler. They are currently unpowered – they will be pushed by motors under the carriages. I may try to power mine through the tender in the future.
Four S Class locomotives were built by the Victorian Railways as express passenger locomotives in 1928. They were streamlined in 1937 with the introduction of the new Spirit of Progress between Melbourne and Albury on the New South Wales border.
