Great Train Show 2025 - Sydney | Rosehill Model Railway Exhibition, NSW ...

Hello!

Time to finish off our final planned exhibition video for the year. This is part 2 of our coverage of this year's Sydney Great Train Show at the Rosehill Gardens. A bit of an edit from our last post, it's been found out that there were actually 89 stalls and not 99 as per the cumulative numbering had suggested, but the layout numbers were still correct so all good.

We capture another 15 layouts in this video, bringing our total to 27 layouts. A layout outside was missed, which would have brought it to 28. 

This part captures a couple of layouts that I've never seen which is rather good.

Anyways. That's it for the larger videos for the year. Hopefully some unboxing videos to fill up the season in between exhibitions, but it'll be mainly heritage trains from here on. So hope everyone has enjoyed for the year of exhibitions. To tally up we captured 14 exhibitions this year, the most we've done to date. Next year, it is unlikely we'll go to as many, but we shall see.

Cheers all. Hope everyone has enjoyed the year, catch you all soon. 

Great Train Show 2025 - Sydney | Rosehill Model Railway Exhibition, NSW ...

G'day,

We're back with a trio of NSW videos, which should be the last grouped videos for the Over the Border playlist. Anyways, we returned for this year's Great Train Show at the Rosehill Gardens, which gathered 99 stalls of various model railway related activities. Unlike last year's video, we did manage to capture all but one of the operational layouts, which will be brought to you in two parts. Part one has 12 layouts with part two having 15. 

Anyways, good to be back, a couple of new layouts this year, with a few previously seen layouts.

Till next time, cheers. 

Transfers & The Heritage Meet at Central | NSW Transport Heritage Expo 2...

Howdy all,

We're finally here with out final part of this year's Transport Heritage Expo.

Usually we make it a two part video, but with a bit more of a deeper coverage this year, the transfers and the Central displays stand alone in this video.

Proper links will be added to the descriptions of all videos over the coming days now that the trilogy is available. 

Should be back on home turf for the next video, so stay tuned. Cheers.

Diesels & Electric Loop and Shuttle the Inner West | NSW Transport Herit...

Welcome, continuing our coverage of this year's Transport Heritage Expo, we have part 2 how available.

This time we take a look at the other trains that were operating throughout the weekend. ECHR and HETs joined up to operate shuttles to Port Botany and Lavender Bay respectively. 

This is a shorter part compared to the trilogy, but hopefully you'll still enjoy. Some clips will be shared between each video. These clips will also be used if you would like to switch between videos with the cards in the top right hand corner.

Anyways, one more to go, but this will be more of a different video compared to the chase videos, so hopefully you'll still stay tuned.  

Steam Shuttles & Race DOWN the Illawarra Line | NSW Transport Heritage E...

Howdy all,

After a bit of a break, we are back with the next round of videos.

Once again, we were in NSW for the annual Transport Heritage Expo. This year coincides with the 170th anniversary of the NSW railways.

This time, we spend three days covering the expo. Our first video covers the operations on the T4 Illawarra line, with steam shuttles and railmotor shuttles. This year also saw the return of the Great Train Race, which ran from Central to Hurstville.

This year's expo also saw the return of locomotive 3001's operation to the mainline in 26 years.

Anyways, we'll have the rest of the footage released progressively over the next week, so stay tuned.  

Spring Steam Through the Golden Plains | Steamrail - Eureka Express - Se...

Howdy,

First video for the month and we begin by knocking out our last video filmed for September.

We trek out for the last Eureka Express for 2025, behind Hudson R761.

A little bit different this time, as we do the full video without a tripod.

Pretty standard video, but it is quite a long video compared to some of our last videos. So sit back and relax as we hear a Hudson at work to and from Ballarat.

Anyways, cheers all. Catch everyone soon.

Mikaido Steam Shuttles in Hawksbury | Picnic Train - Richmond Steam Trai...

With spring being back, we roll out another one from Over the Border. We take a short day for the first of two days on the Richmond line to take a look at the Picnic Train's Richmond Steam Train Rides. Three shuttles were run between Richmond and Mulgrave with their flagship locomotive 5917, top and tail with 4836. 

This really is a short video, which sees the train for all three shuttles, then the transfer back to Riverstone, where the train stabled until the next day of operations.

We are trying to keep a balance between Over the Border specials and regular videos over the next few months, subject to operations from the mainline operators.

As our full flexible schedule is still ongoing, it won't be too long until the next video, so catch everyone soon.
