G'day all!
In today's video we dive back into the J.W Archives, and visit both the bizarre and more unique parts of the railways. Our journey starts on the Stony Point line in 2000; where a bunch of South Australian 'Red Hen' rail motors made their way to Stony Point. Following this; we shift to the Puffing Billy Railway; where everyone's favourite Logging Locomotive; 'Climax'. Makes a trek up the line with a special train in tow from Belgrave. With a few other features from other locos as well, its an enjoyable watch for all; and a lucky catch by John.
John Wilson loved to photograph and record trains, and has since passed all of his assets and railway photography down to me. Before his passing, he gave approval for his work to be made public. Which is part of what you see here. His legacy will continue on; and his name shan't be forgotten. Rest in Peace old friend.
As mentioned at the start of the video; the 2024 'Railways of Yesteryear' are currently underway, and at some point in the upcoming months will be available for purchase. I will keep updated on their progression. When they are available, you can purchase them, through my website in the link provided below!
