Haha, there is none. That’s the name Puffing Billy Calls it. The “Murder On The Puffing Billy Express” is a special experience where you take a special night train dressed in 1920’s clothing From Belgrave - Nobelius and have dinner at the Nobelius Packing shed.
I have 2 Cameras as of 2024, The first is my IPhone XS, I’ve used this for as long as my channel has existed and its last use was the box hill video. The other is my Sony XDCAM camcorder. which I’ve used from my SRV Members train video onwards. With some mix and matching. As of the 31st of March I’ve decided to make the full transition to my Sony XDCAM, as used in this video. Seeing it has better zoom, sound, and Shot capability’s.
And if your talking about Other cameras near my Camcorder, when recording this video I was with 2 others, One of which was recording on a camcorder, and one on a IPhone14. We were in a little camera line.
So i made a Typo, at the section of the Long Island steel train, the text has L at the end of the Locomotive list. This can’t be changed. Sorry for confusion.
There’s many, there’s one in Eltham, Box Hill, (what used to me Narre Warren), Altona, Moorabbin, Mooroolbark, Bellarine Peninsula, Traralgon, and more.
G'day Caleb, As the second man on the diesal, I can also confirm that we did have a slight issue with the transmission that day, as for letting out steam and water from a boiler on a steam loco, it is done before leaving the running shed in the morning. We do not do let water and steam out of the boiler whilst out on the main line.
Thank you for that! I was with 2 other “Gunzels” on the day, one being a well known “Anthony Holmes” of whom had said to us “The loco crew is probably Letting out water from the boiler, as per us usual after Wheelslip.” Thank you for the update!
G'day Caleb, As the Fireman on 8A this day I would like to have you know that the stall off the bridge had nothing to do with letting steam and water out of the boiler at all. It was infact due to transmission issues with the DH, the dead weight of which, plus the 16 car train, was well and truly over the NA's ability to pull up the 1 in 40. We instead were brought to a halt and the crew rectified the issue before continuing.

If your wondering why they had the green but weren’t moving, there was was an Overheat problem with No.5. Meaning a late departure. They had the green but they were not “TRTS” from my knowledge. Correct me if I’m wrong other PBR people out there
Depends, G42 and NGG16/129 Are the main locos, NGG16/129 was restored into passenger service in 2019 I think, and G42 was placed into storage in 2021 for a full examination not yet to be completed. There is also another NGG class in the Menzies creek museum as spare parts for NGG16/129.
