Pigs and Pacifics, 1 DVD-Video

- DVD - INFO-Programm gemäß § 14 JuSchG This DVD takes a special look at two of the most popular and prestigious express passenger locomotives to operate on New South Wales Railways, the C36 class 4-6-0 and the C38 class 4-6-2.

During the 1960s as dieselisation took a strong hold, both classes were gradually relegated to more humble freight workings.
