Mernda to Reservoir Steam Shuttles | Steamrail - Mernda Suburban Shuttle...

Howdy all,

We're back for another week. Actually, this time, it's the first of two videos for the week as we have now entered our holiday uploading season. This is phase one of the season, and will run until the 19th of December.

Anyways, today we head back onto the Mernda line to capture Steamrail Victoria's Mernda Suburban Shuttles with K class locomotives K100 and K190.

Overall turned out a rather decent day despite the weather warnings, with the main issue being how windy it was during the latter part of the train.

Anyways, hope you all enjoy and well catch you at our next upload.

Geared Steam Trundle | Climax Twilight Train Special - Paradise Hotel Di...

Howdy everyone.

Back for another week, today we are back at Puffing Billy to capture the rather popular Climax locomotive on her annual run.

This year the trip was slightly different, with Climax beginning from Belgrave and only travelling as far as Clematis. Here the locomotive used the rarely use turn-back siding as passengers had dinner at the nearby Paradise Hotel.

We only capture one way for this trip, since by the return, there wouldn't be any light, and I had to rush down to Port Melbourne for another event.

Our holiday schedule will be returning soon, so stay tuned for more!

Final Steam Train Through Mont Albert | Steamrail Charter - Mont Albert ...

G'day everyone.

So time for this weeks video, which was delayed from our regular 10:30 uploading time. Today's video comes from Mont Albert, the center of Steamrail Victoria's Mont Albert Shuttles.

Hauled by two K classes, the special operated between Burnley and Blackburn with passengers alighting at Mont Albert.

The tour was chartered to celebrate the station's 132th and last birthday with the station due for closure during early 2023 as part of the LXRA's removal of the Mont Albert Rd crossing that would see Surrey Hills and Mont Albert Stations' merged into and becoming Union Station.

This video is a mix video again. The first 10 minutes is or regular chase video from various stations on the line and then the last 15 minutes is a ride video on the transfer back to Newport via Blackburn.

Anyways, until next time, catch you all down the line.

Heritage Train Shuttles in Sydney's CBD | Transport Heritage NSW - Herit...

Back for another week.

Howdy all,

Our last video from our recent NSW trip, time to take a look at the Transport Heritage Expo.

Was definitely one of the highlights of the trip.

Pretty self explanatory for anyone from NSW, but the Transport Heritage Expo is an event ran by Transport Heritage NSW bringing all that's heritage into Sydney's center. A fleet of heritage trains, buses and ferries give's people the opportunity to reprise NSW from a bygone era.

This video has a component of a ride video, from around 5 to 20 minutes in Red Rattler F1. If I was to do this again, I will defs be there for multiple days.

Anyways, enjoy my first attempt at doing a video in Sydney.

Till next week.

Double Header K Classes to Ballarat | Steamrail - Triple K's to Ballarat...

G'day everyone,

Been a little bit since I posted here, since well I have been scheduling a lot of the newer videos lately. Anyways, today we have the second triple header to celebrate 100 years of the K class, except it wasn't after K190 failed prior to leaving Newport, so just K100 and K183 took charge of the tour. Was a rather good chase with the tour being rather uneventful for most of the trip, except of the extended stay in Bank Box loop.

In any case, I wasn't intending to upload this video this week, as our special video from across the border was supposed to be published, but since it's a rather large video, I haven't been able to complete the edit as of yet, so that'll come out next week

Video production should be slowing down a little over the next few weeks, with videos being a week behind the recording dates to allow more flexibility in editing during this busier time.

Until next time, keep well, catch you all down the line.

Heritage Train Street-Run the Broadway | 707 Operations - The Grainlande...

G'day everyone,

Welcome back to another weekly video. Today we have a highlights real of the chase of 707 Operations' "The Grainlander" that operated to Sea Lake and Nullawil from the 2nd to 4th of September.

The tour was a steam and diesel tour, featuring locomotive R707 and V/Line's A66.

This video has been dramatically shorten as the overall recording was over an hour long. This come as an idea, that we are going to trail a sort of movie night later this year, where the full length video will be uploaded, and hopefully be ad-free with the exception of start and end of the video. This will be completely re-edited and include pacing and backing shots that had to be removed from this video.

More announcements will be out later.

Next week, we will be back to something smaller, Can you have a guess what that is? 

Anyways, until next time, stay well and catch you all down the line.

Black & Blue Ks to Hurstbridge | Steamrail - Hurstbridge Wattle Festival...

Back again for another week.

Today we have our recounts of the Steamrail Hurstbridge Wattle Festival shuttles. The annually run specials operate from Hurstbridge to Eltham as part of the locally operated Wattle Festival, usually held on the last Sunday of August.

Today's video take the form of our newer videos, where the first part of the video is a chase video for the morning transfer and shuttles, and the end is onboard the night train, with key moments from the trip.

Some may notice a slight deficiency occurring mid-way though the shuttles section, this is due to an injury that had to be dealt with, the first time on any chase video I've had.

Anyways, that's all fine now, and looking forward to hopefully having the next weekend free from train chasing.

Anyways, until next time, stay well and catch you all down the line.
