Steam Battles a Downpour in the Dandenong Ranges | Steamrail - Ringwood ...

G'day everyone,

Nice to be uploading on a Monday again, time for this weeks video. 

Today we venture up the Dandenong Ranges for Steamrail Victoria's second attempt at operating steam shuttles on the Belgrave Line.

K153 joined the restored Red Rattlers for four shuttles originating from Ringwood.

Definitely was a slight too see a steam train on the broad gauge section of the once narrow gauge line up the Dandenong Ranges.

I've realised that these posts seems to be in leapfrog mode with a post every second video due to some uploads being posted when I have other arrangements.

Anyways, hope everyone enjoys the slightly shorter videos that seems to be coming out while there aren't any exhibitions.

Cheers all, catch everyone next time.

Double Ks Power to the Goulburn Valley | Steamrail - Shepparton Steam We...

Howdy all,

Back for another upload and a shorter turnaround for this one. We have our second video from the Shepparton Steam Weekend, that compiled the two one-way transfer trains for the weekend.

This saw a double header of two K classes powering up to the Goulburn Valley.

After the successful weekend, the train made a speedy trip back to Melbourne.

This part of the tour, was also assisted by two high nosed T class diesels.

Anyways, hope everyone is keeping warm while the weather dips for winter. At least the warmth of steam trains will simmer for a little longer.

Cheers all.

Double Ks Shuttle in the Goulburn Valley | Steamrail - Shepparton Steam ...

Howdy all,

Welcome to this week's video, and this time we have the first of two to cover the events of the Steamrail Shepparton Weekend. In this video we focus on the local steam shuttles that were ran between Shepparton Station and Tallygaroopna. We capture five shuttles over two days of the event and a bit of the ride when aboard the first shuttle on the Monday.

We will be back shortly as part of the changes to our schedule with our second video covering the event, being the transfers to and from Melbourne.

Final Day of Trains at Ringwood East Station - Pre-LXRA

Howdy all,

Well, we're back for another video, and it's definitely been a while since we've seen our own rail network in terms of the Big Build Project. Anyways, today we visit Ringwood East Station, which is located on the Lilydale Line, on the final day before closure. The station is being rebuilt along with Croydon Station which closed a few months ago, as part of the Level Crossing Removal Project.

The shots in this video are captured as the last time the sun sets over the the old station in to it's last afternoon peak. The new station will be opened later this year along with the opening of Croydon.

Cheers all. These videos are still part of the flexible uploading, so we are still currently keeping our four day uploading, which at the moment is planned until mid-next month.
