Glen Waverley Model Railway Exhibition 2025 - Part 2 | Waverley Model Ra...

Howdy, we're back for our last video in sequence. Today we have our second part of the Glen Waverley exhibition.
This video was intended to be a single part, but there were some network issues with out previous uploads which meant the videos have to be shorten slightly. Anyways, we're here.
This year's exhibition was once again pushing the size of the Brandon Park Community Centre, with 32 exhibitors (-1 due to being a no show).
Anyways, that's the last exhibition video for around a month, so it'll just be full sized trains for a little bit unless any new models finally arrive. 
Cheers all.

Bendigo Steam Shuttles & Melbourne Transfers | Steamrail - Bendigo Steam...

Hello all,
Continuing our coverage from the busy long weekend, we have our captures of Steamrail's Bendigo Steam Weekend. We captured two days of the operation, which is all complied into this single video.
Locomotives R761 and S301 joined forces for the tour. We take a look at both transfers and some of the shuttles that were run on the sunniest day of the weekend, Monday.

We will finish off our weekend's coverage with our second exhibition video that will be due on Wednesday. It is still yet to be decided whether it'll be a single part or split, so we shall have to see.
Cheers all.

Ballarat Model Railway Exhibition 2025 | Ballarat Model Railway Club

Another long weekend has past, so it's time for our next exhibition video.
Today we head up to Ballarat for another exhibition. This year's ran closer to the town centre, so it made sense to check it out for another year.
14 operational layouts were available, making up a decent sized regional exhibition.
Anyways, this'll be the first of two exhibitions due in the short term, so stay tuned, after a heritage video first. Cheers.

Steamrail - Ballarat Steam Shuttles Transfers 2025 | A2986, K183 & T364

Howdy.
We're back with on last video for this flexible rotation. 
Today, we have a shorter video compared to our other videos, this being a quick look at the transfer trains for this year's Ballarat steam shuttles. This annual operation has the train run up to Ballarat for the weekend as part of the Ballarat Heritage Festival.
We capture a single location on the return transfer, which this year saw the train turn back at Flinders Street Station.
Anyways, not sure of whether they'll be a video next week, but there is definitely one for the week after. So till then, cheers.

Heritage Trains Sprint the Geelong Line | Steamrail April Rail & Sail & ...

Welcome back,
Today we're back to heritage trains. It's pretty rare we do a merge video, but that's what we have, as two specials travel down the Geelong line on the last Sunday of April. 
Steamrail Victoria operated their first Rail & Sail for 2025 with locomotive A2986 making it's first appearance on the run for a good while. 
707 Operations ran another day trip Slow Rail Journey (by name only) to Inverleigh, just like their first standard gauge run two year's ago.
We prioritise the movements of the Rail & Sail, capturing 707 when they are nearby or crosses paths.
We will be having a little break between this an the next video, so catch everyone in around 1.5 weeks.
Cheers.

Bendigo Model Train Exhibition 2025 | Bendigo Model Railroaders

Howdy,
Still proceeding along with out mini-backlog on videos.
As we attempt to keep the balance between our video types, we have another model railway exhibition video today. We visit the Bendigo Model Train Exhibition for the first time in this video, while on a layover with a Steamrail tour. This time, we got to see the Taradale layout, which previously had been seen at a couple of other exhibitions, but we'd missed the chance to see it.
The exhibition is a regional exhibition, which has 14 operational layouts on display.

Hope everyone enjoys. Next exhibition will be a little while, so until then, we will be filling the gap with railway videos, of they are available. Cheers.
