All photographs and video *not otherwise credited on screen* are my own. Additional photographs and footage were kindly provided by: Alexander Jamieson ( https://www.youtube.com/@melbournesparks3828 ) Chris Stratton Damian Hill Mark Carter ( https://www.flickr.com/photos/markcarter/ ) Neville Castle Peter Michalak Rheilffordd ( https://www.youtube.com/@Rheilffordd ) Alexander Jamieson assisted with a lot of general Adelaide rollingstock knowledge. He also created the Open Rails models of the Red Hens and Jumbos, and created the scene of the Red Hens going through Flinders Street. Additionally, Alexander restored the HO scale TGV to operating condition for use in this video, after many years in storage. My voiceover in this video was recorded with the assistance of my brother Cian Bennet, who happens to be a sound recordist and musician. Cian also created the credit music, and provided the voice of the STA CME/CCE. Check out his stuff here: https://hyperfollow.com/cianbennetmusic I also used many historic images taken by the late Weston Langford, as per the usage terms on his site: https://www.westonlangford.com/ If you want more information on any of the Weston Langford images I used, you can search the image number I displayed on screen. References: As with all my videos, it's hard to make a concise list of references as a lot of the information is from general knowledge acquired over many years by myself and people I hang out with. But for this video I got quite a bit of specific information from the following sources: -Railmac Productions produces a series of small books called the 'Mini Profile Series,' which despite the name are extremely detailed. I referred to three books in the series, 'Jumbos - The Early days,' 'Jumbos - Workhorses to the end' and 'Superchooks.' None of these appear on the actual Railmac website, but they are listed here: https://www.australianmodeller.com.au/collections/railmac-publications -A History of Commonwealth Engineering by John Dunn. An absolutely excellent series, but very hard to come by. Volume 4 covers the Jumbos, Volume 5 covers the 3000 class. -The instruction manual for the SAR Model Company HO scale Red Hens. It includes a very detailed history of the class.
