Steam Train Shuttles From Mernda | Steamrail - Mernda Suburban Shuttles ...

Howdy all,

Time for this weeks extra, as it was announced thanks to both a two parter and our flexible schedule trial. Today we have a video of Steamrail Victoria's most recent tour, the Mernda Suburban Shuttles.

Five shuttles were run between Mernda and Reservoir. This time it was hauled by locomotives K140 and K190.

Hope you all enjoy. Having to deal with some issues in the back-end with on of the other channels, so that fun...

Catch you all.

Welcome back everyone,

Time for part two of our Warragul Exhibition coverage.

Hope everyone is well after Melbourne's minor earthquake last night.

Stay safe and stay well. Catch you all later.

First Day of Trains at Union Station | Surrey Hills & Mont Albert, Victo...

Howdy all,

We are back for our second video for the week, as we attempt our flexible scheduling while having a two part video. Today we are at the new Union Station, that was completed as part of the level crossing removals at Union and Mont Albert Roads. The station combines two previous close stations, this being Surrey Hills and Mont Albert.

We take a look at some of the services just as the day turns over to the afternoon and into the peak.

Next week, we will be doing the same with the schedule as we complete part 2 of our coverage on the Warragul exhibition.

Cheers all.

Warragul Model Railway Exhibition 2023 - Part 1 | Latrobe Valley Model R...

Well we're back for another week.

Video was supposed to be out later, but with some spare time before the day's activities, we're out!

This video was supposed made into one videos, but it was decided to create a more comprehensive coverage of the layouts on display at this year's Latrobe Valley Model Railway Exhibition. Over the two parts, we will see 11 of the 12 layouts, since one was a U-Drive.

Next part is due next week, as we have another video planned for Thursday as part of our flexible scheduling.

Cheers all!

Oil Burning Hudson Up the Straight | Steamrail - Eureka Express 2023 - T...

Well, its time for another week's upload, and good ol' flexible scheduling, we're a day early (well more like 13 hours early but eh).

Today we have our view of the first Eureka Express for 2023, with locomotive R711.

We chase the train primarily one way, they see the train off as they head out towards Geelong.

Next week's video is planned as a exhibition video, but currently don't know if it'll be a single part or double.

Cheers!

A2 986 Solo to Seymour | Steamrail Charter/ARE - Farewell A.R.E Tour | A...

Alright, back to running weekly.

We have a video from last weekend, with the ARE Farewell Tour taking the spotlight today.

This also used locomotive A2986, the first time since it's test run in 2016 going up to Seymour on it's own.

The tour farewells a group that was well known in the past, but has slowly faded away from the railway community outside of the 300 or so members.

This chase was rather checkered, with location issues after Wallan on the DOWN, but the up was defiantly a lot more successful.

Cheers all, until next week.
