"The End" - Departure of 3801 from the Large Erecting Shop for the last time |
At the very end of this video, I can be briefly seen scampering into the shed to get another photo angle. I then climbed on board for the 3801's last run to Robertson from the Eveleigh Railway Workshops.

| Painting 'Thomas the Tank Engine' in the 'Large Erecting Shop' , Eveleigh Enquiries about this painting
This steam train is about 120 years old and is no longer operational. This was it's first ever visit to Eveleigh. It arrived at the 'Large Erecting Shop' from Thirlmere at about 1.30pm and will depart for Central at about 5am Monday 23rd August, so I had to work quickly! By 5pm it was too dark to do any more painting, and lots of the shunters were gathered around to take photos of it. These photos of me, my painting and Thomas the Tank Engine are courtesy of one of my friends from the 3801, at the 'Large Erecting Shop'.
