R761 and R707 are seen double heading Steamrail Victoria's Maldon Experience tour to Bendigo in September 2011. Both locos carried headboards to mark the 60th anniversary of the R class engines entering service on the Victorian Railways in 1951. The big Hudson's were constructed by the North British Locomotive Company in Glasgow, Scotland, and 70 examples were constructed with 7 surviving into preservation.

Also included is K160 which hauled the Maldon leg of the tour on the Victorian Goldfields Railway. The K class was being assisted up the steep gradients by diesel loco Y133.
