I spent years at Dimmy in the early 70’s. a delight to see the yard again, but most of the sidings have now gone. Can’t believe the box is gone. It was over 40 levers, in its heyday.
I've only travelled this section twice. Dimboola to Horsham (and on to Melbourne) in an AE behind a 3rd series X (long end leading) and an S departing at dawn. Yes, a 3rd loco was added to lead the train, but I don't recall what it was. I was on my way to Somers Camp. :) On the return trip 2 weeks later, the train terminated at Horsham and I wondered how I was to get back. But of course there was a 153hp Walker to get me to Dimboola. :) Yeah, it was a while ago.
@@driver667 no, I hadn't expected one would be permitted on the mainline these days. I'm well overdue to get back to Daylesford. Or Healesville for that matter. A bit closer to me for a Walker ride. :)

How about a Driver667 Q&A? Do you drive for VLine? Do you drive for a heritage group? What driving do you prefer? Do you swap or obtain videos from other drivers? The WATCo videos are not on their channel so are they from drivers? Can you recommend other Australian channels?
That's a lot of questions. 🤣🤣 I am a vline driver which includes heritage trains on the main line. I film my own videos including the Watco videos. Watco have been great allowing my camera to go for a ride on their trains. 👍😀
ive never seen those wagons sitting in the siding next to the silos at dimboola travelling anywhere. are they just scrap waiting for a free trip to china?
It was a great day after a late departure and X31 made it back to horsham even with the small problem ruclips.net/video/SbhjazsfuJQ/видео.htmlsi=vTSXaNNvGdPGYtYV

@@emdB67 that certainly was a while ago. Haven't been on a walker on the main line for a long time. 👍😀
@@driver667 You reckon we might need a WalkerPAV? 😁
@@emdB67 you won't get one on the main line but here's one on a tourist railway. 👍😀 ruclips.net/video/SRJh0QwmNsk/видео.htmlsi=H_qrurrHbaqYH0a9

Dahlen though. Not Dalhen. ;-)
Like the "Pim-pin-io" song though. Perhaps not for a whole hour though. 😆
@@emdB67 Oh. It said Dalhen at 10:00, so I just went with it.
Maybe I should check these things, but I'm just too lazy.😴
Great video
@@yargn3594 very happy you enjoyed the ride 👍 😀
Very enjoyable trip,quite a few signals on this freight line,apart from the Overlander,probaly fairly heavy freight traffic
@@gregthompson3274 yes, mostly freight traffic. Glad you enjoyed it 👍 😀

Ok approcaching dimboula on the left looks like snow. A Nice day looks warm Not like here Mississauga Ontario -5 c windchill -15c no snow.Nice too see
@@thomasrobinson8336 definitely no snow in Dimboola. 🤔 Glad you enjoyed the ride 👍 😀
I suspect it's plastic sheeting to keep weeds down in the landscaped area. Looks like the top surface has been blown away though.
@@emdB67 👍😀
33:27 trespassers on the right also does this tour end at Dimboola or continue onto Adelaide?
This tour turns right and on to the rainbow branch. 👍😀
Is This the tour to Rainbow
It sure is. 👍😀

@@vsvnrg3263 I think it is a case of getting them out of the way and forget about them. 🤔👍😂😂
@@driver667 , what are they for? grains, flour?
I think they were for cement. Haven't been used for a long time. 👍😊
how often does this train run
@@tangiers365 it was a special heritage train. It only runs when the heritage group organise it. 👍😀
@driver667 thanks
