November we travelled to Sydney for a weekend, visited the powerhouse museum and central station I also got my hands on a Nikon D850 and shot the SSR grain movement out of Kensington.

OCTOBER 2018

During October, Steamrail ran a trip to Seymour with R761, also went for a drive out to Mornington to see the tourist railway their as well as catching some other passenger and freight movements

SEYMOUR OPEN DAY 2018

Although I didn’t catch any big trains I did manged to get to the Australian Model Railway Associations open day.

AUGUST 2018

August 2018 was a massive month for photos and changes.
I has begun switching from my trusty Canon 5DIII so a Sony A7RIII as well as using my pocket Sony RX100IV for shooting around the city as I’d gotten a job in the CBD but was still commuting from Ballarat, which was adding about 4 hours total travel time a day.

I caught one of Steamrail’s Snow Train trips to Traralgon, went to Daylesford on a very cold Sunday, Stawell Model Railway Exhibition. Seymour Rail Heritage centre ran a triple header to Geelong for B74’s birthday, I visited AMRA for a DCC running session as well as seeing the double header at VGR for K190 being returned to Steamrail.

APRIL 2018

During April I managed to make couple of trips to the Victorian Goldfields Railway, the main highlight being the colonial express which say the K190 working with some very old four wheeled stock.
I caught the double EL’s on ANZAC Special returning from Ararat heading back to Sydney and Steamrail running more suburban shuttles between Essendon and Broadmeadows with the Tait Set.
