My thing is mainly capturing images of interest and editing to music. Most tracks of music have some kind of connection in one way or another with the vision sequences.
Drone vision of trains is as much about Tasmania's landscape as about the trains and I hope you are able to watch and absorb videos of interest to you in the highest resolution possible. The drone vision has all been shot in 4k.
The old VHS material has survived quite well considering the fact it has been sitting magnetically stored for all these years. It is being transferred using a Canopus AVDC-300, an old but good piece of kit that allows for some refinement in the transfer process. Initial VHS postings are of very average quality as they are VHS to VHS edits. As time permits, some of these will be digitally edited from original VHS tapes and re posted.
Stacks more to come, both archival and current, both rail and other topics. Check out Roudeep and Jay Aliyev - awesome music producers :-)

I was just 14 when this video was made
The stations had signs big enough to actually read as you went past.
was called 7A90, when I did it in 1987, it ran twice a week, forget which, Mondays and Thursdays. When I travelled on it, someone torched the railway camp at Gelaro. We paused there on the way back, the driver said nobody was not to touch anything because the Arson Squad were on their way from Brisbane. First time I saw a crime scene before the police.
Great memories, I was on it a few weeks before it ceased operation. We never got the return journey because loco 1750 derailed on the Newcastle Range still have the photo hanging on the wall, Thanks Ted
Even the city loop stations looked quite different back then as they did recently get renovated as a part of the metro tunnel project.
Real classic outback north Queensland branch line working, well done Ted, you should offer it to the TV network in QLD for rebroadcast. Old hook couplings and spoke wheeled rolling stock in 1991, relics from the steam era. Most enjoyable, thank you Ted.
Thanks for sharing, some good footage and good music too...........
I haven't ever been to that part of the world yet. But gee it reminded me of going to work with Dad in the 80's in Cloncurry. What an absolute dream job it was back then, no one looking over your shoulder. Enough time to show the terrorists the points of interest that would never be seen except for the local knowledge. I joined the job because my Dad took me to work on these engines and here I am having driven 1770 some 30 odd year later. Thanks for the nostalgia Ted.
Hi Ted fantastic video brings backs memories when the railroad was owned by the state government and not privatised. Still using an older hook and buffers on the older wagons and more modern knuckle couplers as well on the same train 😊😊😊😊
Can you one day do a low flying drone following the old formation from Ledgewood to Tullendeena Hill. The down to Tullendeena and and overlay with Google earth or Tasmap topographic 1in 100000. To show the orginal easement. One of the most interesting civil railway engineering sections in Australia? Maybe follow the whole North East back to Coldwater Creek?
I'm constantly floating ideas for potential future projects and that's definitely one that I will have a think about and assess. It would require a bit of time and effort to get right. Got a bit on my plate atm and lined up but could be a possibility for next year
Excellent photography. Colebrook to Ryndaston tunnel would have to be one of the toughest or the toughest sections of railway in Australia. Many 1 in 40 grades and 100 metre radius curves. The geometry has not changed in 150 years. Going from 200 ton trains 500feet long hauled by steam to 3000 tonnes 3/4 kilometer long.
Just brilliant!
came for the trains, stayed for the electronica
I'm something of a committed Alco*holic. This is just the hit I needed! Excellent footage. Beautiful scenery. You need to pay respect to the builders of these northern NSW lines when you watch these clips. A massive engineering undertaking with valleys to cross and cuttings. Thanks for sharing😃😃😃😃👍👍👍👍
It's a great video,
I knew you were heading towards Regents Park. Lidcombe over looking Olympic Drive. 4 years by train Berala to Birrong for high school, then train to central to attend TAFE to do my trade. Good memories.
It's cute in the days when people cared about Victorian railways.
Thomas the tank engine moves faster.
Just fix up the line make it longer to go to langwarrin and other neglected areas.speed things up a bit.people need to get to melbourne in an efficient manner.its not the 1900s.the government needs to spend more money on bloody railways.
this is great quality for a VHS! im guessing it must've been run at a faster speed haha. really fun bit of history to watch
Must be the most torturous section on railway in Australia. 120 curves between CAMPANIA (bottom of the hill) and Ryndaston (KP 72.2) tunnel 31kilometers. 1 in 40 and 1 in 44 grades for about 14km. Colbrook to Ryndaston tunnel 11 km average 1in 40 with 11× 100 meter radius curves' the tightest minimum radius design for 3ft 6inch track.
I had a look in this train yesterday 😊 it's sp awesome to actually see it going in this video!!! Love it
Ah down the not up here in good old Tasmania
Awesome, i actually work now in the fmc (well now) jbt plant they used to be made in belgium Unfortunately the business was sold of in the 1990's, but some of the history is always fun to see
01,15,96,03 were my main jams.
I saw a documentry on shunters at Darling Harbour (NSW) the Railways turned a blind eye to practices until there was an incident and they threw the rule book at you.
Brings back memories,l finished up at QR in 88 .shunter.
Just reading the comments, glad to hear the film setup wasn’t thrown out. Kevin gave me a demonstration of the system during one of the last films shown with the old projection units. Kevin is absolute gentleman and a master at his craft.
I used to get contracted to hydro tas to do runner repairs on the turbines. I loved the history of hydro tas. Been to butlers gorge, Tarraleah and many other hydro schemes through Tassie. Awesome experience
Thx for sharing. Have been interested in hydro power generation and the machinery - and electrics - involved since visiting Poatina Power station in primary school. Moves are a foot to effectively replace the current and obviously very old Butlers Gorge/Tarraleah scheme, hence the video.
23:20 where abouts was this!?
Hi there. Most of those derelict shots were taken at the old loco depot area in Invermay. I think a couple of shots (maybe X5? - I cant recall, maybe someone could help here) were off site at some private industrial place in the Invermay area. I'm thinking they may have had 2 X's, and wanted them for the engines.
@@tedbear4243 oh ok!
A good video lots of memories me doing the same chasing trains all over the country ,I know most of the places on this video ,very good v c r cheers ❤️🙏👍🕯️🦘🇦🇺
Nice video old bangers working hard to earn its pay wonderfull cheers ❤️🙏👍🦘🇦🇺
A ton of stuff has changed since then such as the Melbourne Central shopping centre that was completely redeveloped in 2005 which was quite controversial at the time with the local population because of some of the changes which are quite questionable. That also involved the removal of a set of two glass lifts in the entrance that was near the car park entrance which were only 14 years old when they were demolished and removed. The redevelopment also removed the escalators and lift that went straight down to the station concourse from the La Trobe and Swanson street corner which forced everyone to have to walk through the centre to get to their trains.
Wow a blast from the past, well the start, as I went to Frankston - wow was it the long ago, only seems like not that long ago
At least the Fingal branch seems to be still in operation for the mine?
The cars in 1994 look like 1970s
Fabulous filming, absorbing action, excellent editing, superb scenery. Double rainbow over the lift bridge at 13:50 ! That's the Bridgewater Bridge? Out of service for rail since 2014? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridgewater_Bridge_(Tasmania) Rail services ceased using the bridge when the South Line was cut back to terminate at the Brighton Transport Hub in June 2014.
Which station is in the first part of this film that they went past, the weatherboard one.
First one with the ZAs going past is Ross, the second one we glimpse from the cab of the ZC is Rekuna
@@Match2100 Cheers man 👍
All those drivers are gone now except the punk. 😵💫
Hello Ruffas 👋
Would have loved to hear the sound of these beauties as they travelled through the Denison Gorge section of the NE rail corridor.
6:00 nice footy shorts 😋
More good stuff thanks
I reckon there are a LOT of people that would pay good money for a daily tourist train journey if it were made available to travel between Hobart-Launceston-Burnie, the main line goes straight past Launceston airport too.
Cheers.
Excellent. I miss these well-spoken hosts. It sure is strange to see my hometown documented in the now distant past. I was 22yo in 1994, and an 86, 88, etc tram boy. Was there a 78 before that? Sounds familiar. I think it stopped at Summerhill when it was 78. Then there was the dreaded Preston Depot tram that was a tease for people living beyond that stop, hehe. We'd catch it anyway and hope a tram came out of the depot heading north, and we'd sprint to catch it so we could get home. Great times!
Semi-vintage Victorian trains and trams with Pink Floyd soundtrack and personal touches, I like it. ☑
Interesting event with all the vintage equipment. Nice work with all the filming, editing, drone shots, special effects and everything !!
Interesting. But what happens with the railway through there, will it continue on the old causeway and bridge?
Found the answer to my question. Seems odd that Tasmania's main city will lose rail connectivity. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rail_transport_in_Tasmania Trains no longer operate out of Hobart and under current plans the mainline will be severed from Hobart by 2024 with building of new road only bridge across Derwent replacing existing dual road-rail bridge.
Super-great video with the time-lapse photography and drone shots and cool music! I rode the Spirit of Tasmania ferries in 2009 when I did a 10 day road tour of Tasmania. Curious how the boats go up that relatively narrow channel at Devonport and turn around in there. The fare with vehicle was surprisingly reasonable I thought, but just chair seating for overnight accomodation unless you want to spend a bunch more for a cabin. Perhaps it is subsidized by Tasmanian government to encourage tourism.
Interesting video. Thanks for sharing. I missed seeing the 1990s in Sydney, as my family and I moved from Sydney to Melbourne in mid 1981. I do remember seeing many of these types of trains in Sydney back in the early 1980s and even prior to that. I used to live at Marrickville and traveled to work every weekday by train.
