Night Lights & Steam Through the Dandenongs | Puffing Billy - Riding the...

Well, it's week two of our holiday season, and time to start of with the first of two videos we are doing of this year's Train of Lights at Puffing Billy.
We had originally planned to do this last year, but tickets sold so quickly, that it was only possible to do the chase.
So to start off the week, we have a sort of best moments of riding the Train of Lights from Lakeside to Gembrook and return. Over an hour's worth of footage was captured during the ride, then cut down to 15 minutes with 5 minutes of shunting. 
A project video is currently being created for the MTMR Productions channel, which'll hopeully see around 30 minutes of the ride footage utilised, so stay tuned for that.
If there is any interest for more of the ride, I might upload some more clip during our end of year holiday season.
Sit back and relax, we'll catch you all later this week for 707's Members Train.

Ballarat Heritage Steam Shuttles | Steamrail - Ballarat Steam Weekend 20...

G'day all,
We're back for this week's first video.
To start us off, we have our first video to cover the events of the Ballarat Steam Weekend, the Ballarat Heritage Shuttles. We cover two days of the tour, being the 10th and 12th. The 10th is only partial coverage, as I was using it as a way to use up time while wondering to the Ballarat Model Railway Exhibition. On the Monday, it was a rather nice surprise to have A2986 running tender first for the DOWN shuttles, just something a bit different.
Anyways, as last week's third video was a two parter, part 2 will be out this Thursday. The transfers associated with this video's tour will be uploaded next week, as we begin out holiday uploading season, more information will become available this weekend. 
Cheers!

Alrighty,
Final video for our triple uploading week.
To end us off, we have part 1 of out coverage of this year's Glen Waverley Model Railway Exhibition at the Brandon Park Community Centre. Since this is a part 1, part 2 will be due out next week after a break in videos.
This once again is a comprehensive overview of the exhibition, where we will capture 14 of the 15 layouts on display. The 15th layout was a U-Drive. In this part we look at the first 8 layouts in the main hall, that used various scales between 1:48 to 1:220.
Cheers all, we will be back on Monday to return to a heritage video, then part 2 on Thursday.

P.S. we're also getting pretty close to our holiday season, but more on that at the conclusion of next week.

Howdy all,
Well, as per our community post, it's a triple video week.
To play as a gap between the two model railway exhibition videos coming out this week, we have a video from last weekend. Climax 1694 made another public run, this time a morning return from Lakeside to Menzies Creek, giving a 2 hour dwelling time to visit the railway's museum. 
This video is one of the longest videos we've uploaded, so sit back and enjoy the video.
Next video is this Friday, so, catch you all then.
