Evie Evaluation From Maryborough | EV120 Infrastructure Run Up the Weste...

G'day everyone,

Well, here we go, time for our last video for the holiday season. Today's video we have a chase video of Metro's newest IEV, EV120. On this day, they were operating a recording run from Maryborough with the pair of QUBE G class locomotives.

We follow the train from Maryborough to Melbourne.

Anyways, from the next week we will be trailing a new flexible scheduling, that was outlined on our anniversary video on the 11th of January. In short, this primarily is for heritage videos, so they can be uploaded within 24 hours of the conclusion of the tour. Other videos will still be uploaded on Mondays with second part videos uploaded on Thursdays. We will also be dropping down to a fortnightly uploading schedule when there is no recent video from one of our main categories.  Of course being a trail, this'll run until the end of June where we will decide if it'll be continued or reverted to our previous schedule.

Cheers all.

Final Days of Trains at Surrey Hills Station - Melbourne Trains

Howdy,

So back again, I admit that part of the reason why we didn't have extra videos for part two was the amount of work needed to upload, as here's the third video in 5 days.

Today we complete our look at the recent permanent station closures, this time focusing on Surrey Hills Station, both the older and newer of the pair. What do I mean about this? Well, the station was opened first in 1883, however the buildings were rebuilt in 1962, making the main significance being the platforms unlike the heritage listed Mont Albert Station.

Surrey Hills Station was closed in two stages. Firstly, DOWN trains ceased stopping on the 30th of January to allow the access to platform 3 to be demolished, then finally the rest of the station closure at just after 8:30PM on the 17th of February, 2023 finishing off the 139 years of serving the Surrey Hills community.

Anyways, one more video to go to complete this holiday season, so catch everyone again very soon.

Opening a Streamlined NSWGR C38 Class (3801) from Australian Railway Mod...

Howdy all,

Time for the first and only extra for this holiday season. Today we have part two of our unboxing of the ARM C38, 3801. Straight to the layout we go to see how she preforms. At this point I really do need to invest into some NSW carriages now that there are two NSW locomotives part of the fleet.

Anyways, two more videos left for this holiday schedule, then we return to our new scheduling for the year, as per outlined in our annual update videos from the 11th of Jan.

Cheers all.

Final Day of Trains at Mont Albert Station

G'day everyone,

Sunday uploading still feels weird, but here we go. Today we have our first video to cover the recent station closures. On the 17th of February, 2023, Surrey Hills and Mont Albert Station's on the Belgrave/Lilydale Lines closed for level crossing removal works. Unlike other crossing removals, the two stations are being closed permanently, with a new combined station to be constructed between the two stations, named Union Station.

In this video we capture some of the final services to pass through Mont Albert Station, including the last DOWN to use platform 3. Our second video will capture the final trains for the night at Surrey Hills Station.

Cheers all, just a reminder there is an extra video on Tuesday, being part 2 of our ARM C38 unboxing.

Opening a Streamlined NSWGR C38 Class (3801) from Australian Railway Mod...

G'day everyone, first post on this for a while. So today we have the first of two parts looking at the Australian Railway Model's most recent release for the Legend of Steam, 3801. The video was only split last night due to the video going over 30 minutes long as it is it is attempted for all model railway videos on this channel to be not too long for better retention. Anyways, we are now in phase 4 of our holiday schedule until the 26th of February.

Cheers all, catch everyone next week.

Geelong Model Railway Exhibition 2023 - Part 2 | Corio Model Railway Club

Howdy all,

Missed out on posting when the first part was uploaded since that had to be scheduled for uploading. Anyways, part 2 of our coverage of the Geelong Model Railway Exhibition is now online, completing our first exhibition for 2023. This video takes a look at another 7 of the layouts on display for the exhibition.

This video also marks the end of phase three of our holiday scheduling. We will now be taking a little break until the 12th of February. Due to the nature of this break, no new Victorian videos will be recorded in this time for this channel, so the first tour for the year will be missed unfortunately. 

Well, anyways, hope everyone enjoys. Cheers all. Catch you all after our break.
