Victorian Railways Beanie!

New Merch!

Right in time for summer. Victorian Railways Beanies. I've also added the pre orders for Comeng, Tait, Harris and MZ Pins.

Also if you're looking to get a print, maybe as a Christmas present, I would recommend doing it soon to avoid potential shipping delays.

On shipping, the price has had to unfortunately go up, as with the last run AusPost lost a lot of orders, so they will now all be send parcel post, with tracking.

There are also caps on the way but I'm yet to receive the samples. So keep an eye out for them in Decemeber.

To get one please follow the link to the products as well as having a look around the website.

LARA - 2003

My father and I went to Lara during the Airshow of that year with the Australian Railway Enthusiasts Society (ARE) and shot this little video of what what passed by.
With VLine movements featuring the normal parlour car, West Coast Railways passenger services, intermodal freight and more!

Shot on a hand held Sony Camcorder and mini DV Tapes converted to digital.
