Final Steam Train Through Mont Albert | Steamrail Charter - Mont Albert ...

G'day everyone.
So time for this weeks video, which was delayed from our regular 10:30 uploading time. Today's video comes from Mont Albert, the center of Steamrail Victoria's Mont Albert Shuttles.
Hauled by two K classes, the special operated between Burnley and Blackburn with passengers alighting at Mont Albert.
The tour was chartered to celebrate the station's 132th and last birthday with the station due for closure during early 2023 as part of the LXRA's removal of the Mont Albert Rd crossing that would see Surrey Hills and Mont Albert Stations' merged into and becoming Union Station.
This video is a mix video again. The first 10 minutes is or regular chase video from various stations on the line and then the last 15 minutes is a ride video on the transfer back to Newport via Blackburn.
Anyways, until next time, catch you all down the line.

Heritage Train Shuttles in Sydney's CBD | Transport Heritage NSW - Herit...

Back for another week.
Howdy all,
Our last video from our recent NSW trip, time to take a look at the Transport Heritage Expo.
Was definitely one of the highlights of the trip.
Pretty self explanatory for anyone from NSW, but the Transport Heritage Expo is an event ran by Transport Heritage NSW bringing all that's heritage into Sydney's center. A fleet of heritage trains, buses and ferries give's people the opportunity to reprise NSW from a bygone era.
This video has a component of a ride video, from around 5 to 20 minutes in Red Rattler F1. If I was to do this again, I will defs be there for multiple days.
Anyways, enjoy my first attempt at doing a video in Sydney.
Till next week.

Double Header K Classes to Ballarat | Steamrail - Triple K's to Ballarat...



G'day everyone,
Been a little bit since I posted here, since well I have been scheduling a lot of the newer videos lately. Anyways, today we have the second triple header to celebrate 100 years of the K class, except it wasn't after K190 failed prior to leaving Newport, so just K100 and K183 took charge of the tour. Was a rather good chase with the tour being rather uneventful for most of the trip, except of the extended stay in Bank Box loop.
In any case, I wasn't intending to upload this video this week, as our special video from across the border was supposed to be published, but since it's a rather large video, I haven't been able to complete the edit as of yet, so that'll come out next week

Video production should be slowing down a little over the next few weeks, with videos being a week behind the recording dates to allow more flexibility in editing during this busier time.

Until next time, keep well, catch you all down the line.
