Final Steam and Rattler Shuttles on the T3 Bankstown Line | THNSW - Bank...

Howdy all,
Well, we're back in the swing of Over the Border specials and we bring to you our vision of the Bankstown Heritage Weekend, farewelling the heavy rail operation in preparation of conversion to Metro.
Two heritage trains made their appearance known throughout the day. Locomotive 3265 Hunter operated three shuttles in an anticlockwise loop through Bankstown, and Red Rattler F1 operated three different routed shuttles.
For this video, this was recorded with out substitute camera after it failed a week earlier, so I was still getting used to using it during these shuttles. Apologies if some of the shot turn out a little shaky or out of frame because of this. We are still in the process of acquiring a new camera, however this process is taking a little longer than planned.
Also from this video, we will be returning to our monthly uploading for the month of October. So, catch everyone next week. Cheers.

AMRA Vic Branch Clubrooms Open Day 2024

Howdy all,
Well, we're back for another video as we slowly complete our 4 day frequency.
Today we have our most recently recorded video, capturing this years open day at the AMRA Vic clubrooms. This year followed the same lines as last year, with Murri displayed up and the two main layouts below.
This video is the first video to be fully recorded on mobile while we plan out a replacement video camera.
Cheers all, one more as part of the higher frequency, then we are slowing things down for the month of October.

Goulburn Model Railway Exhibition 2024 - Part 2 | Goulburn Model Expo - ...

Howdy all,
It's time for another post. Didn't get a chance to post our last upload due to being out of Melbourne at the time, but here we are.
Today's video takes us out of Melbourne for the inaugural Goulburn Model Expo. This is part two of our coverage where we completed 12 layouts in this video. The exhibtion was one of the larger scale shows being comparable with some of the suburban shows in magnitude with 50 exhibitors all up.
We will be back in Victoria for our next video, although this is our last video to be recorded on the video camera for the time being.
We're still awaiting for new Australian models to complete another unboxing, so apologies for the long wait. Cheers all.
