Opening a Victorian Railways C Class in V/Line from Auscision Models

G'day,

Well, I did saw we'd have an extra this week, so here we are.

In this video we take a look at Auscision Model's new C class.

The model has been well anticipated since 2016 when it was first announced.

Along with the earlier released G classes, they make up a good workhorse for the Victorian fleet.

At the moment, this is the last unboxing for the year. But it time allows, another might be uploaded during December. If you want to see more unboxing videos, but of a non-Australian prototype, check out our model railway channel, as we continue to upload international models trains there.

Cheers all, till next week.

Steam Shuttles to a Outer Suburban Festival | Steamrail - Hurstbridge Wa...

Howdy all,

Time for this weeks video. This time we have the second video filmed last weekend, where we headed up to Hurstbridge for this year's Wattle Festival, despite the issues that we had last year.

Not a bad day out at all capturing K140 and K190 back on the shuttles once again.

This week we have planned for an extra video on Thursday, this'll be an unboxing video (can you guess). Had planned for this to be uploaded sooner or during a regular uploading slot, but the schedule is very full, looking at it from now until the end of October.

Cheers all.

DERM Travels the Golden Plains & Up The Straight | DERMPAV - Ballarat & ...

Welcome back everyone,

It's flexible schedule time again, so time for an early upload. Today we are travelling to Ballarat for the first DERMPAV tour for 2023.

Running down the Golden Plains and Up the Straight, a first in a few years.

Anyways, enjoy, not a very long video, as the DERM is a very interesting unit to chase.

Cheers.

Steam & Sail Sprint to Geelong | Steamrail - Rail & Sail - August 2023 |...

We are back for another week.

This time we follow our flexible uploaded regime, uploading the video nicely within 24 hours of the end of the tour. Anyways, the past weekend saw Steamrail operate their Rail & Sail again, where we take the opportunity to capture K140 soloing the sprint our West. The Sail portion of the trip was the same as the last few, however this time they did make a stopover in Portalington.

We had a last minute change of recording locations from Little River to Geelong after a delay caused by operational requirements meant they would follow the next service to Geelong rather than be in front of it. Anyways, making the most of the Victorian heritage tours now while I can, some rather large changes are in the works that may make videos like these more difficult into the new year.

Cheers all, catch you all next week. 

Melbourne Showgrounds Model Railway Exhibition 2023 - Part 2 | Australia...

Welcome all,

Time for part two of our Showgrounds Exhibition coverage.

This part is all layouts, capturing stands 46 to 57.

These are some of the larger more extravagant layouts the exhibition had on offer, mainly previously seen layouts, but there were some new ones to spice up the mix.

Coverage of 5 layouts were cut from the pair of videos due to recording constants. Hopefully there will be the change to capture those at other exhibitions in the future.

Just a single video this week, so cheers all, catch everyone next week.

Melbourne Showgrounds Model Railway Exhibition 2023 - Part 1 | Australia...

Howdy all,

Back for another extra, which weirdly enough is on a Wednesday. Anyhow, today we have our first of two videos to cover this year's AMRA Vic exhibition at the Showground Pavilion. There were 57 stalls this year, with 20 being layouts. This year's video we captures most of the layouts and some of the displays. A list of the missed layouts will be written in the description of part 2, due on Monday.

Cheers all, catch you all soon.

First Day of Trains at the New Glen Huntly Station - Melbourne Trains

G'day all,

Well, the new flexible schedule is now in place, and already there's an extra.

Today's video, we head to the new Glen Huntly Station, that was opened early on the 31st of July.

All shot were captured during the off-peak, so there weren't any trains using the centre track.

The platforms are pretty much complete, however the station concourse is still under construction, which includes the accessibility access.

We take a quick look around the station and capture some of the services to pass through the station.

Honestly not sure what station will be next for rebuild, so stay tuned for more in the future, possibly.

Next week we are planning for another double week, but will have to see how that progresses.

Cheers all.
