Steamrail - Newport Workshops Open Weekend 2022 - Part 2

Alrighty, kinda a weird time for a second part of a video, but here we go.
Today we have part two of the Open Weekend, hopefully capturing the rest of what's to offer at this year's event.
Continuing from last time, we start off at R761, watching one of her hourly turns. This part, unlike the first, primarily covers the insides of trains and the workshops.
The thumbnail isn't also the final to be used, so it might change over the coming days.

Till next week, catch you all again.

Hey everyone,
So a  little bit of a change from the intended videos for this week.
Today's video has jumped the queue, so here we go.
Today's video captures the relaunch run of the heritage Tait train to Essendon and Belgrave, marking the proper return to service. The four main units were the consist of the train, carrying members, volunteers and press for the event.

It was initially planned for today's video to cover the Steamrail Open Weekend, however because of how last minute this video was forwarded in the queue, the two-parter will come out this Thursday and Monday respectively.
Till then, catch you all soon.

G'day everyone, another weekly video. A little later than planned since waking up hasn't been as easy this time.
