Geelong Model Railway Exhibition 2025 | Corio Model Railway Club

Howdy,

We're back for another round of exhibitions, and to finish off our January coverage, we head down to the Greater Geelong area for the Corio Model Railway Club's 50th Model Railway Exhibition.

This year they returned to The Centenary Hall which has since been completely renovated. A decent sized gathering of exhibits this year, however we are still able to complete our comprehensive coverage in a single video.

Sit back and relax as we take a look at this year's exhibition, which will also be the last one for the next couple of months, with no planned exhibition videos until March for us.

Cheers all.

Streamliners & T Roll to Rochester | Steamrail - Australia Day Diesels 2...

G'day,

Heritage trains have returned for 2025!

On Australia Day, Steamrail operated a day trip to Rochester with their diesel fleet. This was also the first time S301 has led a public heritage train since being acquired. This video captures the train on both legs of the trip to Rochester, making the video one of the longest heritage chase videos we have uploaded.

It was decided to not split the video as there was no good splitting point for a day trip, so here we are.

Sit back and relax for our first new heritage video for the year.

Our next video has been delayed due to this video, and will be uploaded on Friday. This will be the exhibition video, which I'm expecting to be around the same length. Till then, cheers!

Phillip Island Model Train Show 2025 | Phillip Island and District Railw...

Howdy all,

Last video missed out a post, but we are now in our holiday season again, so until the 17th of February, we've got two videos per week.

Today we travel out to another exhibition, once again, one we are yet to have gone too.

The Phillip Island & District Railway Modellers ran their annual exhibition last weekend, with a range of in-house club layouts were on display, along with some visitors.

Once again, this was another smaller regional size exhibition, with a few previously seen layouts as well as some new ones.

Anyways, a nice little exhibition.

More to come with the year just beginning. We are attempting to keep exhibition videos spaced out, so next weeks videos are gonna be a little backwards, but in any case catch everyone again soon.

Warrnambool Model Train Show 2025 - Part 2 | Warrnambool Model Railway Club

Alrighty, Howdy.

Today we have an extra video to the schedule due to the decision to split our Warrnambool Exhibition video.

Anyways this time, we take a look at the last eight layouts at the exhibition, completing our comprehensive coverage of this year's show. 

Next week, our holiday schedule resumes for four weeks, throughout these we have not planned for any two part videos, so, so there are no provisions for any extra videos beyond what have been planned.

It's intended on a mix of exhibition, heritage and backlogged videos to take up the bulk of the holiday scheduling. 

Cheers all.

Warrnambool Model Train Show 2025 - Part 1 | Warrnambool Model Railway Club

Howdy,

We're back with our first video to be filmed for the 2025 season, and like last year, we found ourselves in Warrnambool. We take a look at this year's Warrnambool Model Railway Exhibition, which encapsulates around the same size as last year's exhibition.

The video has been split into two parts due to it being just slightly over our maximum length for uploads, so an extra video is due out later this week to accommodate that.

This is the first of many model railway related videos that will still be uploaded to the main channel, rather than the dedicated model railway channel, so hopefully everyone enjoys.

Cheers all.

Double V/Line A Classes Sprints Up the Echuca Line | 707 Operations - So...

G'day all,

We're back for another year... well kinda.

Behind the scenes, we are still in our break season, so this is a video from our backlog.

Mid-last year, an extra video was recorded, this being a charter with 707 Operations. 

The feature of the tour was the combination of two V/Line A class locomotives at the helm. A66 led the weekender that had ran up to Echuca the previous day, with recently repainted A62 and PTV N471 as assisting locomotives.

We capture the train though the morning freeze of country Victoria, finishing up in the inner suburbs.

Will be back next week for our next video, however a video for our other channel is in the works at the moment.

Cheers all.
