What a lucky thing to arrive at a steam festival I have always been a steam engine fan. Always took a ride on 4801?when she came to the Maitland Steam Festival.
How I would like to ride behind the Sir Nickolas Greeley.
Our secretary ‘s husband owned South Maitland Railway which included the Nambour Sugar Mill track. Was fascinating moving from Maitland to the Sunshine Coast.

Yes it was very fortunate. Our driver kept hinting all day that there was the chance of something special. In the end we were a bit lucky as the trains were running 40 - 50 minutes behind schedule - keeping in line with tradition I guess.

Looking at the line-up for the day, more likely was the Black 5 No. 44806, based on a few visual clues, notwithstanding that the Pendennis Castle is more of a green colour.
Still a sight to behold!
