"It is nearly impossible to fault NSW in Steam
2008 Volume One, the camerawork and editing is again
absolutely top-notch, while the picture and particularly
sound quality are–as established by the quality of its
predecessors–completely professional."

NSW in Steam 2007 Volume One
"It is fair to say, in light of
the quality exhibited on both this release and the
preceding Hunter Valley Steamfest production that
these DVDs are now the benchmark of their genre in this
country"

NSW in Steam 2009—Volume Three
The latter part of 2009 saw the
unveiling of the Powerhouse Museum's 3265, resplendent
in its maroon livery with black and straw lining. The
locomotive was the key in most of the remaining steam
tours for the year, appearing on the Cockatoo Run
and on a triple-header with 3526 and 3642. Not to be
outdone, sister ‘P’ Class locomotive, 3237, made a
comeback in December, after a period in the workshops.
Features:
3642 on a North Coast
charter to Dungog
3265 Official Launch at
Sydney's Central Station
3265 on the Cockatoo Run
3265, 3526 and 3642 on a
triple-header to the Blue Mountains and Zig Zag
3237 hauling the Children’s
Christmas train to Rosehill
Winter 2009 saw the return to steam of the Powerhouse
Museum's 3265. Fotoz cameras filmed all four main line
trial runs of this newly restored locomotive. We also
followed 3526, 3642 and 3830 on a triple-header up the
Illawarra Escarpment, chased Lachlan Valley Railway's
3237 on Sydney suburban shuttle trains, and captured the
35 Class on a recreation goods train.
