Spring Steam in the Hills - Nov 2021 | Puffing Billy Railway Returns to ...

Well, welcome to this weeks second video.

Today, one from a bit of time ago, capturing the return of Puffing Billy after Victoria's final lockdown in 2021. A pretty regular video at Puffing Billy, with the priority in capturing the DOWN services, so funnel first instead of bunker first. Three locomotives were used on this day, 7A, 8A and 12A.

Anyways, it's been a while since we've had a regular Puffing Billy video, so hope you all enjoy.

Cheers.

Steam and Tait Parallel Runs | 2022 Steamrail Mainline Parallel Run Extras

Howdy all,

Today we have another heritage video. This is a complied video from the two parallel runs in 2022, with most of the extra shots that were captured during the ride sections behind the Tait. We begin with some of the spare shots of the Ringwood run. There was a lot initially cut due to the length of video. The Moorabbin parallel is primarily the sections where we don't have the parallel, being more a regular ride video.

The other main videos have been linked in the description.

Catch you all later in the week.

Trains Around Melbourne #17

G'day,

Time for another edition of our Trains Around Melbourne series. With it being a a new year, and now our 17th edition, it time to welcome Melbourne's newest train to the videos. It was the intention to have them introduced with a full video just on the HCMTs, however, being restricted to only one line, and now that they are ominous to that line (also, that HCMTs have already been part of other videos). Anyways, hope everyone enjoys this edition. We will still have a full videos on the HCMTs in the future, but probably once they have begun operations on the Sunbury line.

Cheers all.

VR R Class & PN Diesel to Bendigo | 707 Operations - Walkerlander & Wine...

Howdy everyone,

Time for another weekly video. Now we are beginning with the lot of videos awaiting in the backlog, so one from April last year, covering the 707 Operations Walker & Wine Lander special down the Bendigo Line. Intially the train was just for the Winelander experience, but later an additional option was added as the tour coincided with the Daylesford Country Spa Railway's Walker Fest 2022.

This video covers predominantly the mainline trip section as far as Elphinstone.

Cheers all, catch you all soon.

Steam Returns to Mornington | K163 Returns to Steam from Overhaul - Morn...

G'day all,

Well it's time to begin our 11th year, and back to heritage. Today we are at the Mornington Railway for their relaunch of locomotive K163, that just returned to steam after some works at Newport Workshops.

Once again this is another hybrid video, being both a chase and ride video, although the ride is a shorten version, where a full length will be uploaded at a later date.

Anyways, we've got a few more heritage videos for the rest of the season, so stay tuned.

Thanks everyone for the 10 years. Can't wait to see what's in store for the next decade.

Siemens Nexus on the Burnely Group | Metro Siemens Testing to Camberwell

Hello!

we we are beginning phase 3 of our holiday schedule and we begin with a rare movement. A Metro Trains Siemens Nexus took a trip up to Camberwell during late 2022 for clearance testing. Defiantly one of the shorter videos we have uploaded to the channel in a while. This video was supposed to be uploaded as our first video for the year, but after a last minute decision to split the Bluestone Express video, this was pushed a week back.

So yes, we are back to a dual weekly schedule, with videos on Mondays and Fridays. This Wednesday we will have a special video uploaded to coincide with the conclusion of our 10 year anniversary.

Till next time, catch you all down the line.
