Steam and Runners Pace Through Lakeside | Puffing Billy Running Festival...

G'day,
Been a little bit since posting here. The last few videos have been published while being offsite, so good to be back to regular publishing. 
Today we are back at Puffing Billy again. This time we head up on the first day of this year's Running Festival to take a look at some of their train operations.
Day one has the shorter races, which are centered around the Emerald Lake Park. Along with this, Puffing Billy still operated its regular four train timetable, with some differences.
7A and 14A took on the pace train for the morning, running as a double header for the whole day, and in top and tail during the Running Festival.
Anyways, enjoy this kinda long video.
Got a couple more videos to end off the month, so stay tuned.

G'day,
We're back for our last part covering this year's Goulburn Model Expo. This part covers the last nine layouts seen in the Ross Whitttaker Stadium. Most of these layouts have been previously seen before, but we get a little time to capture them again, in new light hopefully.

Anyways, we'll be back to big trains after this, so we'll be back soon.

Goulburn Model Railway Exhibition 2025 - Part 1 | Goulburn Model Expo 20...

Howdy,
We're back for another set of videos, along with our return to over the border. After the success of last year's inaugural Model Expo, they returned again bigger than ever. This year's Goulburn Model Expo was run on the last weekend of August. Divided over two rooms, 71 exhibitors we present for one of the largest regional shows. 37 of the displays were operational layouts, which will be shown in our first three part video for the year.
Each part has a base of 45 minutes of unedited footage, so stay tuned for the rest which are due over the next week.

A2 & A Class Blasts to Bairnsdale | Steamrail - The Gippslander 2025 | A...

G'day,
Time for this week's video.
Today we head out for Steamrail's Gippslander for 2025, which saw a day trip behind locomotive A2986. This trip is advertised as one of the last chances of a day trip via heritage train to Bairnsdale with a new timetable due the the next couple of months. 
A2986 and A66 paired up for this tour.
We began in the Toorak area, then complete a chase both ways.
These long distance chase videos are slowly being coming rarer as our priorities shift, so hopefully everyone enjoys.
Sit back and relax, we'll catch everyone next time... with something a little further away.

Steam Rattle and Shuttle the Inner East | Steamrail Charter - Ashburton ...

We are back to our weekly scheduling.
Today we have our view of this year's Ashburton Steam Shuttles. This year, K153 took charge of the train along with the Taits in their five carriage configuration.
This year's video is primarily to fill in the gaps of our video from two years ago, capturing the locations we missed back then, but also redoing some others with the new equipment.
Anyways, hope everyone enjoys, we'll catch everyone next week at this stage.

G'day,
It's a new month and it's time to begin with a return to our model railway exhibition videos. Today, we have our first of two videos covering this year's Showgrounds Model Railway Exhibition, hosted by the Australian Model Railway Association Vic Branch. This year's video is one of our longest videos, which was very close to being split into a third part.
This year gathered 55 exhibitors. In this part we capture 10 of the operational layouts, along with two small intermissions from displays from traders.
Anyways, we'll be back soon with part two, so enjoy!
