Thirlmere's Festival of Steam 2024 - Transport Heritage NSW

Howdy everyone,
Well, who'd have thought that we'd still be doing a 4 day uploading schedule, but there are still a lot of videos back to back that needs to be uploaded.
Anyways, this video should finish off  the last of the flexible Over the Border specials for now.
In today's video we are in Thirlmere for this year's Festival of Steam. This saw all of the operational fleet of Transport Heritage NSW join forces to celebrate steam traction. We only spend a day at the event, like our first visit to the Transport Heritage Expo, sort of a taster, to prepare for future trips.
Anyways, our video captures the operations around Thirlmere, seeing the steam trains, the parade and a wander around the NSW Rail Museum, the first time I've had a chance to look around in around 10 years.
Anyways, hope everyone enjoys, rather long video once again, but slowly becoming more of a standard for heritage and model railway exhibition videos. Cheers all, going back to Victorian next video.

Great Train Show 2024 - Sydney | Rosehill Model Railway Exhibition, NSW ...

Alrighty, time for our last video of the Great Train Show. To finish us off, we capture another 12 layouts on display. This part is also a little different, as we fall into the same issue as out Sandown video's where the main camera lacked the battery capacity to cover the whole exhibition. We hope to have this issue shorted out by Showgrounds, but only time will tell.
Anyways, it was an absolute joy in capturing this year's Great Train Show, and would love to do this again.
In terms of uploads however, this is not the last Over the Border special, as we are to complete some videos left over from another trip. So which this month turning very NSW, stay tuned.

Great Train Show 2024 - Sydney | Rosehill Model Railway Exhibition, NSW ...

We're back for another video. We continue onward with our coverage of this year's Sydney Great Train Show. We capture another 12 layouts, although one is a demonstration. 
The Great Train Show is the largest model railway exhibition we have gone too, and there is still more to see. We have one last part due out later this week, then we're back to 1:1 trains.
Anyways, this is the longest of the three parts, so sit back and relax.
Cheers all.

The Great Train Show 2024 - Rosehill Model Railway Exhibition, NSW - Par...

Howdy all,
Back for another post, and it's over the border once again. As part of expanding our range of videos, this year we travelled back to NSW for this year's Great Train Show at the Rosehill Gardens. The exhibition is one of the largest in Australia and the largest we have ever covered. For the first time in a number of years, the video has been split into 3 parts due to the size and with this a few layouts were still missed due to filming constraints.
Anyways, hope everyone enjoys the trio of videos as much as I enjoyed capturing them.
It is currently planned for our next few videos to be over the border specials, as we get through the backlog from these last two trips.
Cheers all.
