Steamrail - 150th Bendigo Easter Fair (Day Trip) | A2986, N456, S313 & T356

Well, here's the final of the two parters this time round. Technically this video can be watched as a standalone, since the 150th Bendigo Easter Fair tour is its own tour, but it's also linked to the operations of the Bendigo Steam Weekend.
Anyways, a longer video this time, hitting the half an hour mark, sifted down from the 52 minutes originally originally recorded. The final day of operations capture 4 locomotives, and technically was two tours since there were two runs to Melbourne.
Anyways, hope you all enjoy. Back to weekly videos next week, so yeah.
Till next time, stay safe, stay well.

Welcome everyone.
Well were back on a Thursday for our second part videos, although, today it isn't a second part. To ensure that everyone hopefully get a video they'd prefer, the second part one video had been uploaded. Earlier this week we published part one of the Diamond Creek Model Railway Exhibition, today we have part one of the Bendigo Steam Weekend. This video captures two days of the tour, the Friday Transfer and Bendigo Shuttles on the Sunday. The part of the tour was hauled by locomotives A2986 and T356.
Anyways, hope you all enjoy, both part two's will be coming out next week, so stay tuned for them, then we will be back to weekly videos until, either the next two-parter or mid-year where our holiday schedule may begin again, depending on videos available from the backlog.
Cheers all.

Sunny Bayside Steam | Steamrail - Moorabbin Bayside Shuttles 2022 | A298...

Alrighty, so time for another weekly video, and to be honest, might need to be more than a weekly schedule soon, as the amount of recent videos being side-lined is honestly kinda worrying. But anyways, a little late today since I overslept, but better late than never.
Today we take a look at Steamrail Victoria's Moorabbin Bayside Shuttles that operated on Sunday the 27th of March. This time we had locomotives A2986 and K153... wait no, K100 take charge of the shuttles with K100 on the west end of the train. K153 was recently given the aesthetics of scrapped class leader, K100, for the 100th anniversary of the K class locomotive.
Anyways, he trains shuttled along between Moorabbin Station and Kananok Stabling  Yards. This time, we had a full day of sun.
Well, that's all for this week, until next week, see ya!
