Time for the last extra for this holiday season. The season technically does end on Monday, but this is the last extra. Anyways, back to a more recent video, filmed on Sunday, we capture X31 on her solo trip out on the Bendigo line. The special was a private charter and ran from Seymour to Castlemaine via Southern Cross Station.
Now we are going to clear out some backlogged videos as we roll into the final week of our holiday season.
This video is from back in February where we headed out for ARTC's AK test train up to Albury with Streamliners GM10 and 42103. An absolutely glorious day, despite the temperatures being on the higher side.
Anyways, next video might be an impromptu video captured last weekend, dunno it may end up as next weeks video as I deal with a shortage of storage in my editing computer.
Well, should have been rather guessable with all the hype last weekend around Seymour's Portland Weekender.
The Portland line is one very picturesque shooting location with it being heavy in the logging industry. The slower speeds also allow for a rather decent chase.
This is a compressed video with multiple shots removed and backing shots cut, a future extended video might be uploaded in the future if there is enough interest (along side two other over length videos).
Well, sit back and relax. I hope everyone enjoys this rather long video.
Time to begin another week. So back to mainline heritage this week, starting off with Steamrail's Union Shuttles. The day of shuttles ran from the newly built Union Station with locomotives K190 and K183. It was a rather difficult day having to juggle the high frequency Metro trains also in operation, also didn't help I was having a slight ache throughout the whole day.
Anyways, that's now online. Our video on Friday will cover the other tour we recorded over the weekend.
Second video for the week, and second extra for this holiday season!
How's everyone going, today we have our view of 707's members train that ran on the 1st of July to Kilmore East as a test run for locomotive A62. This saw the return of double A classes on a passenger train, with all of the A classes other than A66 being put into storage in 2014.
Not a bad run with two heritage liveried locomotives, this being A66 in V/Line Tangerine and A62 in V/Line Blood and Bone (blue and red).
Well, cheers all, we'll be back next week for another two videos, one of which being our chase of Puffing Billy's Train of Lights. Stay warm everyone.
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.
