That was so enjoyable. I took photos of the bigger Pyalong trestle in 2019. It has deteriorated a lot since then unfortunately. I remember driving on the road under it too a long time ago. Must get on me bike on the rail trail again, especially to see the Axedale station and it's truck. Thanks

Amazing Video, i was there on Sunday had a fabulous time

The box on top of K class tender was a mixing tank for boiler feed water treatments dosages.

There's nothing like the real thing. 🎉😊❤

Did you write a script? I’d recommend it next time

Hey mate fantastic video not a real big fan of diesel trains but Dad just feels quite good I enjoyed it very much

Looks like a really fun day!

I enjoyed this video, being a former volunteer of SRHC from way back when, it’s good to see this organisation still actively preserving our rail heritage! And good to see progress finally moving along with CL17!

Great Video Victorian steam, It was fun to do a cab ride in T378 T382 and Y102.I seen you here, I was working at the Open day, Hope to talk to you soon!! keep up the great work,

How good were all the K classes

Nice video mate. Awesome to see Y102 in operation after 31 years! Hopefully we can see it out running tours soon!

Beautiful video Mate love your videos!

Great work, mate. Thoroughly enjoyed it 👍

Love the vid, I wish it was reopened.

Your comments at Nyora are very interesting. Yesterday I rode from Leongatha to Nyora on the Great Southern railway and was looking for evidence of the Wonthaggi line at Nyora. It appears to travel parallel to the southern railway for maybe a kilometre in a trench below the level of the korumburra line then sweeps away to the south. As a child travelling by steam passenger service I remember waiting at Nyora on a branch line for the Wonthaggi train to come through before we could proceed to Melbourne. The whole train network is so full of history and it’s fascinating to find odd pieces of the railway furniture along the line.

Fantastic video mate

The 'ledges' were called retreats.

The actual location of Derrinal station is on the other side of the McIvor Hwy. The platform mound being clearly visible there (on private property). When I first went this way in the 1980s, I thought it strange that the railway crossed the highway for the station and then crossed back. But upon further investigation, I realised that it was actually the highway that was realigned when Lake Eppalock flooded the original road, now Old Bendigo Road. It continues on the other side today as Moorabbee Foreshore Rd. Railtrails can be a bit misleading at times when they stray away from the original rail alignment. Obviously this can't be helped at some locations, but it can be a bit of a trap when you're unaware of it happening.

RAIL SHOULD NOT BE LIFTED ,IT MAY BE NEEDED

Went on the last train at Heathcote as a kid just before they ripped up the track. A lot of fun.

I was on that trip in 1968, 56 years ago yesterday. 2:44 those are my photos on that board. I gave permission to local historical society to use them. Thanks for giving an up to date journey.I was surprised that you didn't include Kilmore. Kilmore was once the junction for Clarkefield via Lancefield branch. The line went through Bylands where the tramway museum is now located. Great informative video .

Still waiting for a forgotten railways - Mornington to Baxter line. It needs its own video.

6:58 the wooden structure here is probably for running wires for signals and points (possibly telegraph wires as well)

Very interesting and great work guys. As a kid travelling to Bendigo from Melbourne we usually went the Heathcote way. There was more remaining then, including a bridge over the railway line, I think before Pylong when they straightened and widened the highway.

Very interesting good work. There is a spur line going into Mayfield park, East Bendigo which was an abattoir and previous freeze work . We dug up some old sleepers with a loader while cleaning up and still a couple in ground near the Mancala workshop. The loading platform is just near the brick chimney. The formation and junction is clearly visible.

Always amazes me ,what the old timers achieved with very little machinery,nothing stopped them!

I was doing deliveries all through this area just today, went to every town you mentioned. Good video guys

Went to Bendigo a while back and had a look around the workshops. Ended up finding those track and also found to loco service pits there as well. Still with rail on them too

Which heathcote the Victoria one or the NSW one?

Thanks mate

Nice, thanks guys!

It’s great to see your both SunSmart with your hats

Nice video mate. Nice to see some old rolling stock restored. The HY wagon looks great.

verrrry interrrrresting. the line that cuts off at kilmore and goes beyond lancefield might be worth an episode too. it seems there was some shifty stuff involved in getting it built. i think it was expensive to build which means lots of cuttings etc. so the scenery might be photogenic.

Nice video mate! I'd like to go exploring some abandoned railways!

Yellow gy red ry wagons

Thanks for a very well shot and commentated video. The part about the briquette siding (which had nothing to do with the Mirboo North line) was interesting to see too!

love your videos man there just a great way of puting out media!

I've seen a few vids of people making rail carts and running them on disused lines, that line is the only one I know of near me, however I didn't know it was that overgrown etc.

Went there in September 2011 and absolutely loved it

So much history. The endeavour to build the rail network in the 19th century never ceases to amaze me. Such beautiful buildings were built in support of the railway.

Loved the vid , if its any help It's pronounced ' Yearing ' . Before my mother passed she used to tell how when she was a teenager the Station Master at Yering would hold the train for her when he saw her coming on her bike pedalling as hard as she could to catch the train

Just bought the N scale version of 3801 by Gopher. It has working headlights/tail-lights, tender bogies and sound. Absolutely stunning detail for N scale.

Telephone or telegraph pole ?

The weathering in the J525 is outstanding! Fantastic detailing! Amazing layout.

How did u get your r class

I think now Thay are extending the line to Trentham

19:01 was a sick shot

Thanks for sharing your layout. Really good variety of rail stock being displayed. Some really nice shots highlighting features of the layout. Thanks again for your efforts and keep it up please.

That shot of P18 at 11:24 👌
