25.01.2022 Two red hens sit at Blackwood on private property. I imagine they are glad to be in good hands rather than have been sent to the scrappers many a year ago. Hard to believe someone may one day do something similar with the 3000 class of rail car. *just imagine there are fireworks photoshopped in the background for new years*

25.01.2022 Take your pick, 621 over Watson’s Gap! Definitely need to cover up that almost political looking graffiti...

25.01.2022 It’s good to be back! Here we see a 4000 class passing through Goodwood on a Seaford service.

24.01.2022 Getting ready for the Heritage Transport Expo at the NRM on Sat/Sun 10/11 Oct. The Barossa Wine Train stabled on the recently completed and reopened Jacketts siding....alongside the NRM Redhen railcars on the platform.

23.01.2022 A rushed shot of 621 by the coast!

23.01.2022 621 on the Cockle Train at Victor Harbor.

23.01.2022 I don’t believe I posted this one, so here’s a lovely shot of Rx 207 heading back to be turned at the Victor Harbor turntable.

23.01.2022 Another fantastic piece of work by Dan!

22.01.2022 621 in all her black goodness at Victor Harbor.

22.01.2022 https://youtu.be/nf_SLtf99IY GOING LIVE NOW

22.01.2022 Amamoor and surrounds today. Fantastic work by the gang at Mary Valley Rattler for bringing this beautiful railway back to life for the past two years. Happy Birthday!

22.01.2022 Twin ALF’s sit at the head of a grain train at Snowtown. Both have One Rail logos. In the background can be seen some of the many windmills converting wind in to electricity. The train here sits on a branch off the main that today has a stop block not long after the silos, the line does continue for some time down the Yorke Peninsula however some sections are removed.

22.01.2022 The airport train running towards Brisbane city.

21.01.2022 Flexity tram 104 leaving Glenelg on a Hospital bound service, 06/01/21

21.01.2022 Rx 207 Dean Harvey relaxing at Middleton before continuing its journey to Goolwa.

21.01.2022 Blackwood railway station. I have always thought of it as a British looking station.

21.01.2022 South Australian Railways locomotive 621 departing Victor Harbor on a Cockle Train service.

21.01.2022 Amazing work here!

21.01.2022 Triple Headed Spirit of the Outback and More! https://youtu.be/ALVYMwkjQ24

21.01.2022 621 seen from behind going to and coming from the Goolwa Depot turning triangle.

21.01.2022 Good luck to all my friends, fans and family over in Brisbane/Queensland. You have a tough few days coming up and I hope it is real easy for you. Stay strong. Hopefully this old footage brings you joy!

20.01.2022 A lovely display made using the modified tender of SAR No. 1 as well as a few remnants of the SAR days.

20.01.2022 4K looks so good on a big screen! Happy Birthday to the Rattler! - Twin C17’s at Amamoor and Gympie. https://youtu.be/0E_aJVuar0M

19.01.2022 We’ll call this one a draw!

19.01.2022 Interestingly enough, my car from 2018 insists that Gillman yard and associated sidings are still there. I believe they have been gone for almost 30 years, so it is an interesting thing to find on the map. This same courtesy didn’t extend to the Mile End Rail Yards. https://en.m.wikipedia.org//Dry_CreekPort_Adelaide_railwa

18.01.2022 A few photos from today's running session - the first full day of train ops over the Hills Line. The only photo's I grabbed where of a tour train on the Port branch. A very enjoyable session - thanks lads!

18.01.2022 A bit of fun for your Monday morning... Navigating the triple gauge behind the national railway museum.

18.01.2022 Currency Creek Bridge, South Australia. - flying within 5.5km of an unmanned airport is allowed, but one must immediately land if the air space becomes active. I had a shot lined up to capture the SteamRanger engine and carriage transfer, the sky looked clear, but as I was in position I heard it. The rumble of a plane engine filled the air and I had to immediately land. The sad part is, the pilot seemed to only be passing by as the air was soon void of plane sounds and I would have had time to position the drone again. Better safe than sorry I suppose.

18.01.2022 958 and 621 at Strathalbyn, I believe this was 26/12/20

18.01.2022 Close up of a mechanical lubricator in action.

17.01.2022 Narrow Gauge Down Under! - Mary Valley Rattler https://youtu.be/T7y1-JmBHg4

17.01.2022 DL3 celebrates 60 years of service! 2021 marks 60 years since DL3 entered service with QGR. This loco was built by Walkers Ltd, Maryborough in 1961 for use on ...the unique Ethridge railway, west of Cairns. Since 1988 it has provided the society with an amazing shunting locomotive for our Rosewood Railway. Soon though some work will be required. Such as, a fresh coat of paint, wheel profile machining and fluid coupling seals. We are currently looking for people to assist, you can find a list of a wide range of positions available on our site. But mechanical/metalworking skills are of high priority. Feel free to contact us here https://www.rosewoodrailway.org.au/contact-us/ We are always looking for new faces to come along to our work days

17.01.2022 Brook stead, QLD

17.01.2022 Great news everyone!

16.01.2022 I think I heard the station yawn... Quiet times at Willunga railway station.

16.01.2022 Happy New Year! Please stay safe these holidays. See you next year

16.01.2022 621 hauling 7 carriages across the bridge at Watson’s Gap.

16.01.2022 With Flinders Railway Station officially built. It is time for the obvious 1 billion dollar project that will never happen. The Hills Link. A junction that takes traffic from the hills directly to flinders and the south western part of town without having to go via the city. Which is the big problem with Adelaide, getting across the length of town is easy, but the width is a pain as you often have to go in to the city than back out. ... This could be built in coordination with an improved Tonsley junction station facility and of course, the revival of the Gaol Loop, allowing trains to go from North to South without the need to stop at Adelaide Railway Station. The Hills Link would increase patronage on trains within our suburban network as it would fill a gap in the network that has existed for some time as people going from the hills elsewhere would have a few transfers just to get to Flinders to study or be left with no choice but to drive. This link provides a faster alternative than travel via the city and would mean less cars on the road as well as less cars in those damn Flinders car parks. It also means people from the hills can easily transfer to a Seaford line train at the Tonsley junction station, cutting down travel time for them. Yes, it will never happen, but a better connected Adelaide is a good dream.

15.01.2022 The usual suspect...621 at Victor Harbor prepares to reverse after pulling ahead of today’s rather lengthy cockle train.

15.01.2022 SteamRanger, Cockle Train 2021 - Rx 207 https://youtu.be/2q65WZzlI_8 A quick little chase today

14.01.2022 Oh oh...the number of the beast Thank you for all the love guys, here is a classic featuring some yellow 3000 and 3100 class railcars: The New Bowden Railway Station ... https://youtu.be/zzGb-mv64q8

14.01.2022 Heading home now! But here is 621 at the spot. Great work SteamRanger team!

14.01.2022 As our 32nd birthday approaches...more stuff from a long time ago!

14.01.2022 621 on 7 Car Cockle Train at SteamRanger, 3/1/ 2021 https://youtu.be/nf_SLtf99IY

14.01.2022 50 years ago (about now), the magnificent Webb era steam loco 702 was restored and repainted - at the Mile End Railway Museum. Some who helped on the project b...ack then included, Tom Hilton, Bob Footner, Brian Bandt, John Lyas, Peter Stringer, Peter Nearmy, Phil Winterbottom......great people and times......and of course a great loco in the collection. See more

14.01.2022 H361, a lovely H type tram parked at the Glenelg Foreshore passing time as a cafe attraction/eat area(?) these days. Here is a little photo study of the old girl. I hope these photos not only bring joy, but perhaps inspire some of you to visit the cafe, which was sadly closed as I passed by on my evening run. Would have very much loved a little look around. With thanks to William Adams, H361 in service from 1929-2006.

13.01.2022 621 and errrr...621 making their way from Port Elliot to Victor Harbor on a double headed Cockle Train... It’s amazing what you can do with your phone these days

13.01.2022 On Monday 11th January 2021, the official BOM forecast temperature for Victor Harbor is 35 deg C. In accordance with SteamRanger’s policies, all COCKLE TRAIN services on Monday 11th January 2021 are cancelled. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

13.01.2022 The Overland at Hawthorn today.

13.01.2022 Станция Подмосковная Автор: planetadorog.ru Фото: Дмитрий Леонов *** Вот водокачка. Вот вокзал. ... Вагоны, вагонетки. Вон паровоз товарный стал На самой дальней ветке... После открытия в 2015 году станция Подмосковная стала одним из лучших музеев Москвы и вполне может конкурировать с ведущими техническими музеями России. Качество и охват экспозиции, продуманность территории и экспонатов - выше всяких похвал. Станция Подмосковная является частью Музея железнодорожного транспорта Московской железной дороги и отлично дополняет историческую экспозицию на Павелецком вокзале и площадку железнодорожной техники на Рижском вокзале. Любителям техники и истории России, а также мальчишкам в возрасте от 3-х до 100 лет музей строго рекомендован к посещению. http://www.planetadorog.ru/r/stancija_podmoskovnaja/ See more

13.01.2022 Having recently joined the Streamliners group I was inspired to go through old videos, here’s one I forgot about! [RARE] Bulldog GM37 Leads Rail Train to Mile End/Keswick https://youtu.be/eyjxkXq6-xI

13.01.2022 Head over to Josh’s page and show some love, he takes cracking good shots!

12.01.2022 Auscisions new unannounced models!!

12.01.2022 All I can say is WOW! Over 400 views on each video, amazing! Thank you so much everyone, if you haven’t already seen it, here is Rx 207 on the Cockle Train yesterday: SteamRanger, Cockle Train 2021 - Rx 207 ... https://youtu.be/2q65WZzlI_8

12.01.2022 One of the final movements of exhibits at the Museum prior to commencement of construction work on our new roof was the move of C10, which was carefully hand-wi...nched backwards a couple of metres to allow space for the builder to move various equipment. Back in February and March (see inset photo) our volunteers had spent many hours carefully preparing and lubricating all moving parts so that the locomotive could be moved if needed. It turned out to have been a very useful investment of their time! Keen eyes will note that C10's driving wheels have done a half revolution and, by chance, its motion and valve gear on the driver's (left) side are now in the aesthetically pleasing "rods down" position.

12.01.2022 A video of yesterday’s events is coming soon! I just have to wait until it processes up to 4K. I had a little West Highland Terrier with me and it turns out holding a microphone, phone AND a leash is a bit of a challenge. The new microphone is a treat and definitely improved the sound quality, I just have to work on designing a way to mount it to my big tripod so I can shoot much more stable video. Stay tuned in the next 24 hours for the video link

12.01.2022 And there we have it!! T222 restored to its former glory carrying a livery that only a handful of T vans wore. Many thanks go to all the volunteers who helped ...out through this extensive restoration, The Anonymous donor for making this possible, Paul Blake from Mort Signs for supplying the stencil stickers, Chris Pearce who supplied Paul with the artwork, Kelvin from Carboline Coatings for supplying all the paint, Shane Lennon for supplying all the timber, Peter Skilbeck and Michael Swyrydan for donating the Ice Troughs and Steamrail Victoria for supplying us with the roofing materials. A few final touches and fittings are needed before it’ll appear on our goods train, so keep an eye out for it the near future.

12.01.2022 621 hauling 7 carriages along the coast...

11.01.2022 This. This. This. This is a work of art. Please read it.

11.01.2022 Rx 207 departing Victor Harbor on the final Cockle Train of the day.

10.01.2022 Would be good if it was a daily train, or at least close to daily...might get more use that way.....

09.01.2022 Here's a quick recap of 2020 from President Bernie: "The CL17 restoration has progressed, but because of the obvious, a delay of six months will mean a probable... mid 2021 release to service. A big thank you to the usual gang of lunatics and all round good eggs who have dedicated their time this year to do what they could with what they had to deal with. Stuff got done! Thank you to all who donated financially as every red cent counts and its appreciated. Thank you to SSR for allowing the work to be done on CL17 on their leased turf at Cootamundra. In a nut shell, anyone who contributed can stand proud! From the mob at Streamliners Australia, we wish all of you and your families, a safe and Happy New Year and for a prosperous 2021." If you can spare a donation, the GoGetFunding page is still kicking along, and as Bernie said, every dollar counts towards getting CL17 out on the rails in mid 2021. https://gogetfunding.com/save-clp17-formally-cl17-last-emd/

09.01.2022 G class fitted with loksound v5 and TB speaker. Headphones or good speakers for this one.. very rich sound

08.01.2022 Rx 207 at Victor Harbor.

08.01.2022 Standard 1950’s hand sanitisation station

08.01.2022 Last week we thought that the Ruston Diesel had a problem because the oil pressure was showing zero. We got the (original) pressure gauge checked by an expert a...nd it was fine. Eventually determined that the problem was a blocked pipe to the gauge. It was cleaned out this morning and the Ruston then got some exercise down the track. See more

08.01.2022 Woohoo!! Thank you so much everyone Start watching today:... Australian Model Trains - Border District https://youtu.be/qI1J99imUpc

06.01.2022 Hay Railway Station features a simple museum and a well presented garden area. Sadly it wasn’t open but I can always return! I do like the station building, it looks like someone wanted to copy Maryborough, Victoria but didn’t quite have the budget to go so big.

06.01.2022 621 heading out of Port Elliot onwards to Goolwa.

06.01.2022 The Cockle Train hauled by 621 departing Victor Harbor. Testing out my new microphone.

05.01.2022 Can you believe it? 1200 likes! Thank you for all the love guys, hoping for a better 2021!

05.01.2022 Time to turn the loco around!

04.01.2022 The railway station at Wallaroo rests waiting for a train that will never come. The line between Wallaroo and Kadina is now a rail trail. Wallaroo yard has become a beautiful, green park whereas the yard at Kadina has become a car park. Would have been lovely to have a green open space at either end. Oh well, still worth a look

01.01.2022 Anyone visiting Australian Modeller tomorrow for our unannounced model, will get a big surprise when they see our latest layout on display in a purpose build do...uble sided glass cabinet. The HO Scale NSW prototype layout was constructed over 3 years by master modellers, Ian Phemister, Alan Tarrant & Len Bowley. All the track & points are hand laid, structures & super detail items are scratch built and just about everything else has been hand crafted. Auscision trees, vehicles, locomotives, rolling stock & CTC signals can also be seen on the layout. There is even 1/87 Scale figures of the Auscision boys along with Ian, Alan, Len and many of their friends. The layout is a permeant part of the shop for all to view and enjoy for many years to come. We have shared some photos of the layout with this post, but it really needs to be seen in person to appreciate the level of detail that has gone into it. We cannot thank Ian, Alan & Len enough for all of the hard work they have put into this layout, and look forward to them starting on our next project. (Something in N or O). From all at Auscision Models & Australian Modeller.
