Seymour Railway Heritage Centre Depot Open Weekend 2024

Howdy all,
Time for another video. As we slowly catch-up on our minor backlog, today we have our video on  this year's Seymour Railway Heritage Centre's Open Weekend at their Seymour depot. This usually operates annually, however we haven't covered the open days in a few years now, so time to take a look through their current projects.
Like the Newport Open Days, this is a walkaround video.
Videos are still every five days. It's very likely to continue until the end of this backlog which should bring us into December, but we'll see how the progress with editing goes over the next few days.
Cheers all.

Opening a NSWGR C38 (3801) From Gopher Models (N Gauge)

G'day all,
Well, with the year almost up, we finally have a model unboxing. And honestly rather fitting with some of the context over the year. We have a look at something slightly smaller  this time, this being Gopher Model's C38. We take a look at a borrowed 3801 for this video. No future videos are planned with this model, as I don't actually collect N gauge Australian models.
Slightly longer video, so I hope everyone enjoys. Hopefully we should get another unboxing video before the end of the year, but it really depends on the speed of some of the releases.
Cheers all.

Evening Climax Locomotive Trundle | Puffing Billy - Climax Twilight 2024...

Howdy all,
Well, back for another video.
Today take a look at PBR's Climax's only run for 2024.
For this we only capture the down trip, so hopefully everyone still enjoys.

Temporarily for the next two videos, we are going to hold them back to a 5 day uploading rotation rather than the 4 day we are currently doing.
Cheers all.

Ten-Wheeler's Steam Shuttles & Return Transfers - Transport Heritage Exp...

G'day,
Time for our second part of our coverage of this year's NSW Transport Heritage Expo.
This part it's all about steam, and the transfers after the weekend.
This year, two ten-wheelers were the only steam locomotives to be present, with both operating the steam shuttles. C3526 and C3265 operated in tandem for the shuttles along with diesels 4201 and 4501.
We will be back to Victorian videos for a little bit after this, but this shouldn't be the last of our NSW videos as of yet.

Sunbury Model Railway Exhibition 2024 | Sunbury Model Railway Club

G'day all.
Time for our last exhibition video for 2024. On the weekend of the 19th of October, the Sunbury Model Railway Club hosted their annual exhibition. The exhibition can be marked as a regional exhibition, as it is one of the smaller exhibitions we covered this year. 10 layouts were present of the 24 stalls on offer at this show.
More of dependence of international themes are seen throughout the layouts with only one using Australian rolling stock.
This video is a comprehensive coverage video, so we do spend a few minutes per each layout, either capturing operations or the details of the layout.
Cheers all, it's not the end of model railway videos for the year just yet, so stay turned for more.

Cheers all.

Skyrail Steam and Rattler to Lilydale | Steamrail - Lilydale Shuttles | ...

G'day,
Another week, another video. Our weekly schedule is only going on for one more week, so expect the channel to be a little more lively again.
Today's video covers our view of this year's Lilydale Shuttles. This time, the Taits were brought up with locomotive K153 on the UP end. Like the last couple of shuttles, the weather was rather less than ideal, but this time, we had a bigger focus on the rebuilt stations.
Anyways, catch everyone next week... it's about to get busy again.
