Ballarat Heritage Steam Shuttles | Steamrail - Ballarat Steam Weekend 20...

G'day all,
We're back for this week's first video.
To start us off, we have our first video to cover the events of the Ballarat Steam Weekend, the Ballarat Heritage Shuttles. We cover two days of the tour, being the 10th and 12th. The 10th is only partial coverage, as I was using it as a way to use up time while wondering to the Ballarat Model Railway Exhibition. On the Monday, it was a rather nice surprise to have A2986 running tender first for the DOWN shuttles, just something a bit different.
Anyways, as last week's third video was a two parter, part 2 will be out this Thursday. The transfers associated with this video's tour will be uploaded next week, as we begin out holiday uploading season, more information will become available this weekend. 
Cheers!

Alrighty,
Final video for our triple uploading week.
To end us off, we have part 1 of out coverage of this year's Glen Waverley Model Railway Exhibition at the Brandon Park Community Centre. Since this is a part 1, part 2 will be due out next week after a break in videos.
This once again is a comprehensive overview of the exhibition, where we will capture 14 of the 15 layouts on display. The 15th layout was a U-Drive. In this part we look at the first 8 layouts in the main hall, that used various scales between 1:48 to 1:220.
Cheers all, we will be back on Monday to return to a heritage video, then part 2 on Thursday.

P.S. we're also getting pretty close to our holiday season, but more on that at the conclusion of next week.

Howdy all,
Well, as per our community post, it's a triple video week.
To play as a gap between the two model railway exhibition videos coming out this week, we have a video from last weekend. Climax 1694 made another public run, this time a morning return from Lakeside to Menzies Creek, giving a 2 hour dwelling time to visit the railway's museum. 
This video is one of the longest videos we've uploaded, so sit back and enjoy the video.
Next video is this Friday, so, catch you all then.

Steam Hauled Red Rattlers | Steamrail - Watergardens Suburban Shuttles |...


Hello all,
Well we're back for another week, and we only have a single video this week.
Anyways, this week's video, we head up the Sunbury line for the first Watergardens Shuttles with locomotive A2986 and the Red Rattlers. The six shuttles ran out to Sunbury and back with the A2  taking charge on the DOWN and Taits running the UP.
An interesting shuttles, but also rather limiting in locations towards the end of the video.
Well, that's all for this week, until next week. Have a good one.
