Some great video footage taken by Brett Mohen below;
S549 being moved out of the Bassendean Museum for display
at the Midland Railway Workshops open day 2004.
The loco was operated under Hotham Valley Railway's
mainline accreditation with Gus Matherson at the controls.

It was great to see the Sammy out on the main line again however the Cartazzi axle bearing would play up on the way to Midland which raised a fair bit of concern bringing her back home to Bassendean. However she made it back with little drama. The bearing was later replaced prior to going to the Dowerin Centenary Celebrations.
A DVD was made using footage taken of S549 being transferred to Midland Workshops and is called "How Steam Works". It is available from the Rail Heritage Bookshop at Bassendean or can be ordered online, follow the link below.
