VR Blue & Gold Heads the Southern Aurora | St James Rail's 60 Years of t...

G'day all again,

Second week of our extras is now online.

Another heritage video that had been delayed due to a lack of space in the schedule, but it finally available for viewing. During the Anzac long weekend, St James Rail operated their 60th Anniversary of the Southern Aurora Rail Cruise. Departing Sydney Central during the night of the 23rd, the train travelled along the North East standard gauge mainline to Melbourne with stops at Goulburn to pick up P22, Albury and Violet Town.

The round trip would take 5 days for the passengers on board.

The occasion was also special, with the utilisation of Victorian locomotives S303, T357 and P22 from SRHC's SG fleet.

Another long video, and most likely wont be the last during this holiday season, so sit back and relax as we listen to the roots-blown engine roar to Melbourne.

Until next week, stay safe and stay well.

Double Header Dash to Ballarat | Steamrail - Eureka Express 2022, Train ...

Welcome everyone, time for another video.

Today we are finally publishing at the same time for the main upload for the week again. Today's video is our most recently recorded video, being Steamrail Victoria's second Eureka Express for 2022. Unlike the first one of the year, the train was operated by double blue locomotives, R711 and K183.

Filming of this video was a realisation that the community really isn't what it used to be anymore, with some questionable newer and older generation around, it's rater unfortunate. Anyways, just steaming along with doing the things we enjoy, for now I guess.

Until next time, stay well, and catch you all on Friday.

Heritage Trains Return to the Glen Waverley | Elecrail - Red Rattler Ele...

Welcome back everyone, another video is here. Our first extra for the holiday season. Today's video takes us to the eastern lines, being the Glen Waverley Line for the Red Rattler shuttles. This tour marks the first passenger tour to head down the Glen Waverley since 2013, the last Glen Waverley steam shuttles. 

Anyways, hope you all enjoy. Posts here will only be every so often, primarily when the video was published at the time of upload and not scheduled.

Three more extras for this season. No decision yet if it's gong to be extended, although there is quite a lot of extra videos. Been recovering from a cold at the moment as well, so working on the other channels have been some what delayed.

Till next time, stay well, stay safe.

Glen Waverley Model Railway Exhibition 2022 - Part 2 | Waverley Model Ra...

Well, we're back. Part two of our Waverley Exhibition video is now online. Seems to me that Facebook has broke itself again as links aren't showing up unfortunately... This video covers the last 4 layouts I captured during my time at the exhibition. 

Anyways, with this post, time to announce the holiday uploading schedule. From next week, we will be returning to two videos per week, for 4 weeks until the 16th of July.

Well, till next time, catch you all soon.

Ex-NSWGR Railmotors Trek to Victoria | TRMS - Adelaide & Victoria Tri-St...

Howdy all,

Another week, so time for another video. This video was kind of expecting, as it was posted in a previous post. This reminds me, the Southern Aurora video hasn't been uploaded yet. Anyways, today we head out to capture the inaugural TRMS Tri-State Tour with railmotor's 621 & 721. The tour began from Sydney Central, travelling to Adelaide and Melbourne, then looping back to Sydney Central.  

This video captures the special train on their trip into Melbourne's Southern Cross Station from their overnight stop in Horsham. Breaking through the morning mist, the train headed east down the Western Standard Gauge Main Line.

This trip is also the first time we've travelled out the Horsham, so that was a different experience, even though we were only out there for around an hour.

It is very likely that we will be beginning the holiday extras earlier than planned, starting from the end of the month instead the beginning of July, however this will be announced on the community page next weekend after the publishing of our next video. So till next time, stay safe and stay well.
