A great initiative, Will. Preservation railways are import across so many levels (tourism, heritage, community), so promoting what they have to enjoy can only be positive. So many modellers are also heavily influenced by yesterdays railway history, so all of these various preservation groups have a trickle on effect as being a source of information and inspiration for the modelling community. Definitely hope this series is well received and appreciated by the viewers.

Just letting all know - the Train of Lights is already sold out fully. I managed to get a ticket and look forward to experiencing it for sure. Also - great idea to feature regularly something like this. It was due to watching your videos that eventually got me back into doing all this. Eternally thankful to you Will.

The upcoming tours are something well worth checking out. Thank you for sharing this, and even though it is not model railways, it does give us modellers much insperation for prototypical details.

This is a great idea, particularly good for we baby boomers in planning trips away, being able to include some destinations to visit events when they are on or just to know about places we'd otherwise not know of. Also great when you have absolutely devoted steam fan grandsons to be able to plan times away with them. I can't see how this won't be popular with people wanting you to advertise their upcoming event but also to the diverse age range in steam fans around the country wanting to know what's on, when and where. Fantastic idea and commitment - thank you so much.

BRILLIANT IDEA!!! Absolutely love this. Just by watching this video I have been exposed to SO many preservation railroads that I didn’t realise existed. One suggestion, as someone that is new to Australia, it would be really beneficial if the information was arranged by state/territory. I am not familiar with most of the locations that were mentioned so it leads to a lot of googling and back and forth. If I at least know a place being talked about is in let’s say, NSW, it makes it easier to follow. Wonderful work Will. I am so impressed as always with your videos!!!

(Re-posting this comment as the one I had previously published for some reason has just disappeared so apologies if this is a duplicate comment) I would love to see a section of this series covering the Atherton-Herberton Historic Railway. They are a group that was formed in 2008 with the goal of restoring the 22 kilometres of track between Atherton and Herberton in Far North Queensland and has been making quite a bit of progress since then! In 2015, they really got things going with restoration beginning on one of their steam locomotives, Peckett and Sons 0-4-0ST '1069' 'HRM No1' 'Donald R. Walker' and the year after they began work on a coach for it too. Around that time, they began running section car rides between Herberton and Herberton Historic Village, a distance of 2 kilometres, to fund their projects for the railway. However a milestone has been reached in 2023 this year with the operational launch of the Peckett Steam Locomotive, '1069', running with passengers doing the same 2 kilometre run the section cars did. It sounds short at the moment but it's getting there! They have lots of other projects going on too and even recently received a 2nd Queensland Rail 2000 Class to complete their pair intended for restoration and use doing the entire run between Atherton and Herberton! It's certainly an exciting time as it's giving Far North Queensland some much needed rail heritage attention and bringing a steam train to an area that sees barely any steam trains at all. The last one coming up here from memory was in 2015 on a Queensland Rail anniversary passenger train. I'm a volunteer for the railway so if you want to know more please let me know and I will let you know some public details. Or if you want, I can direct you to the website and emails for volunteers at the railway with much more knowledge than me as I am just a regular volunteer that does tour guides. Thanks!
