Steamrail - Ballarat Steam Shuttles 2022 (Ballarat Heritage Weekend) | Y...

Well, apologies for the delay, but today's video is now online.
Today's video we have our views of Steamrail Victoria's Ballarat Heritage Weekend Steam Shuttles.
This year they used locomotives K100 and Y112 on the shuttles, with A2986 as an back up locomotive.
Admittedly this is the 6th year in doing this tour, and locations are starting to be a bit bare, so who knows how much longer I'll continue these.
Anyways, another rather enjoyable day. Till next time. Stay well, catch you all soon.

Trains at the New Hallam Station - Melbourne Trains

Welcome back everyone.
So with a pause on recording at the moment due to other priorities, tie to get through some of the videos waiting in line to be uploaded. Today we have another rather recent video from Hallam Station where the new station has just recently been opened. We head down during the first week to capture trains though the new station.
With the removal of another crossing on the Pakenham line, the countdown is on, with the line almost fully crossing-less.
Anyways, until next time. Take care and catch you down the line.

Steam on the Lilydale Line | Steamrail - Lilydale Suburban Shuttles | K1...

G'day everyone,
Back for another week again, and this video has kind of jumped the queue with all the other heritage videos awaiting to be uploaded. Today we take a look at Steamrail Victoria's Lilydale Suburban Shuttles that operated on the 7th of May. The tour was hauled by K-classes K183 and K190 in push-pull formation. Overall was a pretty good day, where we capture the train at both the new stations and at a few missed locations from last time.
Anyways, that's all for now, we return to videos a little older from next week for a little while.
Until next time, catch you guys down the line.

Red Rattler Shuttles in Dandenong | Steamrail/Elecrail - Tait Electric T...

Welcome everyone,
Back again, now back to our weekly schedule. Videos are now around a week behind their filming date, although videos will be shifted slightly next week.
This weeks video comes from the 23rd of April where we capture the Red Rattlers on their first mainline public trip between Pakenham and Dandenong. This video is setup a little differently, where first half is our standard lineside and stations passing shots and the second half is now moments from the ride from Dandenong to Newport. Just trying out this style to see how people find it, and if we should continue like this in future. There will be a dedicated ride video uploaded in the future when scheduling permits where you can sit back and enjoy the full journey of sounds of the Red Rattler travelling up the skyrail.
In any case, hope everyone has been well, I'll catch you all next week.
