    Restored locomotive 3801 begins regional NSW tour, thousands hop on for ride - ABC News


    Rail enthusiasts have had the chance to take a step back in time, with the iconic steam locomotive 3801 making its return to the train tracks in regional NSW.

    About 3,000 people boarded the train in Albury across the Easter long weekend as part of a state-wide tour following the train's 12-year-long restoration.

    Passengers were treated to hour-long round trips across three days, with large crowds turning out to see the train departing and arriving.

    The 3801 was launched in 1943 and operated as an express passenger locomotive and later as a freight locomotive.

    Would this be the same engine as the one with the 'Flying Scotsman' in this picture ?

    I believe so:

    "The Flying Scotsman in Australia". 4472 and 3801 storm Thorton Bank on a tour to Paterson. Main North, Hunter Valley, NSW, 4th March, 1989.

    The Flying Scotsman (LNER Class A3 4472) has already been adopted as a hood ornament for 3801, a position she kept for many of her trips around the country. Here both locos are in good form as they storm the short grade out of Thorton Railway Station. They will stop at Maitland for servicing, then continue on to Paterson. Main North, Hunter Valley, NSW, 4th March, 1989.
