The Hunter Valley Steamfest 2024 - The Great Train Race, The Rally and a...

Here we go again,

Time for part two of our Steamfest 2024 coverage, which based on the title could stay autonomous.

Anyways, like the first part, we focus on a particular part of the event. Taking a look at the Great Train Race, the Steam Rally and finally jumping aboard on of the trains in this part.

This video is definitely the longest of all three videos to cover the event so sit back and relax.

There won't be a blog post for our next upload since we wont have a computer when that goes live, but in 4 days, our Mernda shuttles video will be going live, so stay tuned for that. 

Until next time. We have something a little special coming out next week...

Steam Shuttles Along the Caulfield Through Line | Steamrail - Flinders S...

Well, we're back in Victoria with out latest video. Today we take a look at the recent Flinders Street Suburban Shuttles ran by Steamrail Victoria. Their were 5 shuttles run between Flinders Street and the newly rebuilt station at Glen Huntly, being hauled by top n' tailed K classes, although at times were operating in push-pull formation.

Anyways, we begin our video from shuttle 3 after arriving a little late from a morning venture, which will be seen in another video.

For the next while we will be doing one Vic video then one NSW video (or a pair). So stay tuned for more. Our next video will complete our coverage of the 2024 Hunter Valley Steamfest. due out on Tuesday.

Steam & Railmotor Shuttles in the Hunter | The Hunter Valley Steamfest 2...

Well, we are back!

Time to return to uploads, beginning with the reason of the break. Last weekend we headed up to Maitland for the annual Hunter Valley Steamfest. This years only two steam locomotives made an appearance, being 6029 and 3526. This video has been split into 3 components. This part looks at the steam trains and some of the railmotors on their runs on their shuttles across the two days.

The next part is due in 9 days as we return to something Victorian for our next video.

Well, cheers all. Hope everyone enjoys another Over the Border special, the first of a few this year.

Howdy all,

Time for this weeks video, which is now just over a week behind it's recording date. Anyways, today we have our coverage of the Yarra Valley Model Railway Club's Easter Model Railway Exhibition at the Diamond Creek Bank Stadium.  This is part one over looking mostly the operations in the main hall. The exhibition is back bigger than ever, being host to 63 stalls and spanning over two rooms.

Hope everyone enjoys. Part two is due later this week, then we have no videos for a week. From tomorrow social media will be on break, so this'll be the last post here for a while.

Cheers all, catch everyone on the other side.

Steam Thunders to an Easter Festival | Steamrail - Bendigo Easter Festiv...

G'day,

Back to another heritage train video in the mist of all our exhibition coverage videos.

Today we start out coverage of the events over the Easter long weekend.

This video we capture Steamrail Victoria's Bendigo Easter Festival special, something that is becoming an annual occurrence by now. Being headed by R711, made this tour the first for the 2024 Victorian steam season. Along for the trip as well, we had new acquisition S301 on a load test.

Anyways, back to model railways for the next two videos, then we can finally take a little break from this rather intensive 4-day uploading schedule.

Cheers.

Sandown's Model Railway Exhibition - Train & Hobby Show 2024 | Part 2

G'day all,

Time for our next video. We complete our model railway coverage of the Sandown Train and Hobby Show for 2024 in this video. The video already being rather long meant that all of the extra hobby stuff has missed out the video, however we are planning to upload an extras video on the Vlogs channel in the near future for anyone that wants to see the other things that were on offer, although it is a short walkaround video.

Next video due this Friday.

Cheers all.
