Very nice short video Simon. I didn't know that this railway was the first to convert from brunels broad gauge to standard gauge. Why was that 121 diesel rail car called the bouble car, that is a name given to a small car made by BMW in the 60s. At least the heritage train connects with the mainline so that at the right time you can catch a mainline train back to either Paddington or Reading. A similar occurrence happens at the Victorian Goldfields Railway which runs between Castlemaine and Maldon. When the train runs either on a Wednesday or Sunday. One your journey ends you can catch a regional train run by the company V/line back to Melbourne from Castlemaine railway station. Keep your steam up Simon and you too Michael. Take care Kevig
Thanks Kevig. Not sure how the bubble car earned its nickname but they are often referred to in that way. Perhaps the BMW car and these first appeared around the same time?
