Steamrail - Ballarat Steam Shuttles Transfers 2025 | A2986, K183 & T364

Howdy.
We're back with on last video for this flexible rotation. 
Today, we have a shorter video compared to our other videos, this being a quick look at the transfer trains for this year's Ballarat steam shuttles. This annual operation has the train run up to Ballarat for the weekend as part of the Ballarat Heritage Festival.
We capture a single location on the return transfer, which this year saw the train turn back at Flinders Street Station.
Anyways, not sure of whether they'll be a video next week, but there is definitely one for the week after. So till then, cheers.

Heritage Trains Sprint the Geelong Line | Steamrail April Rail & Sail & ...

Welcome back,
Today we're back to heritage trains. It's pretty rare we do a merge video, but that's what we have, as two specials travel down the Geelong line on the last Sunday of April. 
Steamrail Victoria operated their first Rail & Sail for 2025 with locomotive A2986 making it's first appearance on the run for a good while. 
707 Operations ran another day trip Slow Rail Journey (by name only) to Inverleigh, just like their first standard gauge run two year's ago.
We prioritise the movements of the Rail & Sail, capturing 707 when they are nearby or crosses paths.
We will be having a little break between this an the next video, so catch everyone in around 1.5 weeks.
Cheers.

Bendigo Model Train Exhibition 2025 | Bendigo Model Railroaders

Howdy,
Still proceeding along with out mini-backlog on videos.
As we attempt to keep the balance between our video types, we have another model railway exhibition video today. We visit the Bendigo Model Train Exhibition for the first time in this video, while on a layover with a Steamrail tour. This time, we got to see the Taradale layout, which previously had been seen at a couple of other exhibitions, but we'd missed the chance to see it.
The exhibition is a regional exhibition, which has 14 operational layouts on display.

Hope everyone enjoys. Next exhibition will be a little while, so until then, we will be filling the gap with railway videos, of they are available. Cheers.
