Are you doing more lachlan valley railway and the picnic train footage

Yes I have been waiting for this since last year, I love these keep up the great work

That ricketty and partly burnt out building near the Pitnacree Road bridge has been there in that condition for years. I'm surprised it hasn't been blown over in one of the frequent summer storms. East Maitland is certainly a location where it is easy to waste a few hours watching trains!

Thanks and a Merry Xmas to you!

Happy Xmas mate and thanks for the vids

I wonder if they will be like the Spanish Trams which suffered from Cracking Chassis

Apparently some XPT sleeper cars will be overhauled

The NRF looks like a class 700

The Hunter Railcars are only seventeen years old so they be classed as near new

Hi Do you know what locos are at cowra depot and orange east fork

The black building was built last year, probably for the metro electricity and the top managers building was renovated too, the shelter area also has been added The rest room is mostly locked

I live along the line to Port Kembla. I will be keeping an eye out for these new locos, it's also good to see that SSR has won another contract.

Excellent coverage of the changeover.

Interesting to see the sign on Bathurst platform "This Way To The Other Platform" as it used to be closed to the public? Will the Chinese built hoppers stand the test of time and reliability like the Australian built Ruwolt flour hoppers? Great collection.

Hey there! Due to being an adult (and also not having access to a computer that can handle Sibelius, the software I used to use to create my music themes and cues), I don't really make videos anymore and only lurk. But I very much appreciate you using my music, and giving me credit to boot! Especially loved the expressiveness of your narration, the stop-motion aspects, and the cheeky TARDIS among other cameos and Easter eggs in the vid ;)

Hi What steam train rides do you film in 2024

At Brewongle 1:42 the house at the top right, wasn't that the formers Stationmasters cottage? Where you filmed at Marrangaroo was the site of Newbolds Siding (opened 1913) which ran off the Down Main, it was used up until the late 1990's I think as a RIC ballast loading point. Opposite, used to be the Marrangaroo Wheat Siding which opened in 1918 used to store bagged wheat, it closed in 1921. Traces of the Newbolds Siding road (probably below where you were standing) can be seen in the long grass with a section of track still there. There was some history about Dargan too, but my memory fails me. Great video, the locations alone were the making!

Brewongle signal box was a casualty of the same resignalling scheme that dispensed with Raglan and Locksley in 1988. It was only occasionally used in its later years and was mostly 'switched out', making the section Raglan - Locksley. I was lucky enough to pass through one day in the early 1980s when the signal box was switched in for local trackwork. The SM's house survives opposite the site of the station. Nice choice of locations, it can be a tough chase through that area but the train speed was obviously low enough to make it achievable.

I am not into steam, but loved the shots of 4501 leading. Pity about the chatter in the background of some of your shots, but then again, it's hard to get away from people when steam is running! Great history narration too, I enjoy those, thank you.

Another much enjoyed production, well done. About four or five years back I done a history walk at Sodwalls covering the length of the old route and the viaducts, kind permission was obtained from George, the property manager of the absent landowners. I might post a series of the still pictures I took covering the walk someday.

Nice video - Goninan is pronounced - GO - NIN - AN - there is no "Gone" in it.

Good video. That XPT is nice and smokey. I love the smell of burnt diesel in the morning.

Great history narration, I learned a few things from you, well researched. Looks like a good turn out of enthusiasts for the event. Just love the Bagpipes at the end of the video!

Qube's 8037 is the only member of their fleet to have two "Gemco" or "Coote" symbols on the side panel, suggesting a replacement panel has came from another locomotive. GM22 (1962) is actually 10 years younger, not five, than GM10 (1952) in caption at 7:42 mark. Another great variety of trains with lovely locations, I also hang out for the Bagpipes at the end too, I dips me lid to you, well done.

Thanks mate. Good stuff👍

Excellent collection there, at 9:43 I can see a Loading Bank on the Down Main side, that I presume is the old Bathurst "Stock Siding" remains?

I like that NSW TrainLink orange and yellow livery (3:58 mark), I think it would have suited the XPT but none have been painted in it and not likely to as their curtain begins to fall. Very enjoyable video, we are indeed blessed in western NSW to have such beautiful scenery. "Silver City Explorer" used to be the "Outback Explorer" when I last travelled on it three years back, rebranded. Great quality and variety from you once again.😉

Very enjoyable, a great variety of western line trains, well done!

Very enjoyable, especially the history narrations, I look forward to each one, you missed the history of Tarana Quarry which is quite interesting. I walked up to the quarry site a few years back with kind permission of the landholder. Of interest at 8:58 in the background is former "Granite Siding" site, to the direct left you can see the original single line embankment from the steam days. A lot of the gravel once used on Sydney suburban platforms came from Granite Siding. Great variety and well presented, thank you.

Jolly goods show there old boy! Really enjoyed your video, quality narration and well researched. There are some clips of 631/731 on my site if you are interested. Was Phil (Keg) driving the set? Another piece of Rydal railway history is that the night duty station assistant was shot dead by a deranged (drunk) local gunman outside the signal box door, a small garden and memorial plaque used to be on the platform in memory of the tragic event. His name was Noel Hawley, working at Rydal but from Lithgow, it happened in 1973.

A huge shout out for making the effort to go out and film in those atrocious conditions. An excellent result!!

Awesome captures mate.

Noticed you haven’t narrated the last few videos Duck. Really enjoyed hearing your quick history lessons on locations. Hope it comes back mate.

I want my 4807 back it served the Junee to Griffith passenger service for decades along with frieght !

Great Video

I caught a train to Millthorpe in the early 1980s, so the station was still open then. I’m not sure when it closed but it could have been when the XPT service started in 1982, or possibly some time after. Nice cross section of Bathurst area traffic.

the QE's have the same looks as the operators that has these ones too.that includes SCT/pacific national/Whitehaven coal/ one rail & SSR. & progress rail.

I filmed at Wondabyne earlier this morning during the peak

I failed to capture C505, 4908 & CLP9 the last time I was on the SHL

Albion Park Note: Unfortunately we are unable to film Albion Park this time round due to Trackwork which I'm obviously disappointed if I was to film here I would of had to leave early because it takes time to get there I was really looking forward to filming at this location but due to Trackwork I can't unfortunately so it's onto the next location whenever I decide to film it and whenever I can fit time into my busy schedule Buses replace trains between Port Kembla and Wollongong, and between Dapto and Waterfall Sat 6 Jan 03:00 - Sat 6 Jan 11:00 Details Saturday 6 January From 3am to 11am, buses replace trains between Port Kembla and Wollongong, and between Dapto and Waterfall.

Gerogery pronounced g rodg a ree

I wish Cityrail was back 😔

Great collections of steam shots throughout the year. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Look for to your adventures in 2024. Cheers Richard

I really enjoyed watching this film, Just what I wanted to see, Thanks for uploading it, saw that one of Bathurst Trainspottings, not as good as this is it

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Hi I was on the lvr transfer bathurst to orange east fork

Excellent production. In your text you say the first station was north of the current Scarborough, it was actually built 'south' of the current location. Clifton Tunnel is officially known as Coal Cliff Tunnel and is 1003 metres long. There is another single track section between Coal Cliff and Unanderra that being Coniston to Unanderra North Junction (a small section) And as pointed out the 1100 class at Clifton is a 1200 class

The rail car shown at 04:56 is a 1200 class (not an 1100 class), which changes the possible date range by about a decade.

4702 and 4464 are owned by Lachlan Valley railway society, 42107 is owned by b rail the picnic train

cool video mate love it
