What an epic build, it's looking amazing already.👍

My Great grandfather was the bandmaster of the brass band which pkayed in the rotunda The Clements Brothers Band. They were also miners there.

I have seen a lot of channels like this by now. French, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese. I think houses like this should be declared '$1 houses'. Since restoring these require an inordinate amount of money and effort to restore. Neglect should not be rewarded,

Un trabajo impecable. Enhorabuena!

nice size house

A remarkable feat. Congratulations to all concerned. I thought the bride got pretty short shrift, but she made the best of it. Not really her day after all. My great-grandfather was the police constable in Woods Point up the road around 1900.

we have been on that train.

Thank you so much for uploading they don't make documentaries like this no more

as a former puffing billy volenteer i recognise quite a few faces from this

I was upset , i only found out about this a week after it happened. Wish there was more NA's around so WGR could have their own.

I've grown up back my country with steam, and every time see them bring back memories of a young boy. Memories wich will never fade away.

awesome vid guys thanks for the trip down memory lane as a kid l lived at moe and we day tripped to walhalla quite often, my older brother mark used to caretake the local cemetery l believe one of your staff slim summerville does work there l used to know slim as a kid from his family milk bar at moe always a happy fella cheers willow wilson

Hello my husband and I watched this last night and we loved it and found it very interesting to know what goes on behind the scenes and see all the challenges. Thankyou to Michael, John and the rest of the team for collaborating no matter what challenge is thrown at them. My thoughts are with Jim’s family on his sad passing a few years ago. He made a huge contribution to the train industry and his legacy lives on.

I lived in Rawson for a few years and Walhalla is a fantastic spot to visit. I’ve ridden my mountain bike along the old areas of where the trains used to run. Fantastic piece of history, great place 💯🫶🏾

I was 17 in 1967 when I first went to Walhalla,there was no Railway there then just the old site,and camped there for two weeks,all mines were open then,Long Tunnel mine was very deep,with brick chimneys going to lower levels,closed off now I believe.

Well shot and edited, an event that must have been chaotic. You did capture the passion (and stress) of these people involved in a niche event. Great to see in depth reporting on local yet remote stories.

Anyone know what the intro music is?

Well done, all. Thank-you!

Unreal !! My great grandfather, George Jolly, is buried in Walhalla cemetery and I am old enough to remember the railway crossing down near the north end of Moore St in Motown. Quite a few years ago, my wife and I enjoyed a trip aboard the WGR diesel hauled train and I salute the volunteers for their dedication.

11/10! Grazie Mille.

Back in 1960-61, I lived in Windsor house.

A great video! A fitting complement to the book “Rails to Old Walhalla” by Nick Anchen.

fantastic video, great production.

I wish they would rebuild the Walhalla line back into Moe and connect it onto the main line to Melbourne. That would be incredible.

What a wonderful doco, well done to all involved.

Chúc bạn luôn thành công nhé 😊

They should make a huge series cause this railway is absolutely amazing!

why do we have commentary mentioning 7A when many opics show 9A ???

Sitting here reading the comments and seeing a picture of me sitting in the cab of UP 4014 Big Boy. Both locomotives are wonderful.

If they had kept these lines open we would not have the traffic problem now

Hi Rob. Thanks for this video. On a side note, please fix the spelling error in the description: ‘returned to it’s original’ should be ‘returned to its original’. Thanks again.

Some nice footage here. I improved it by editing Michael Leaney out of the vid - much better now.

When will this happen again?

A very well done documentary. Well done to everyone involved.

Anyone notice who the narrator is?

Most travelers on the Alamein line wouldn't know that the old station building at Hartwell is the original 1910 station from Wallhalla. Pity they couldn't put the Hartwell building on a truck and bring it home to Walhalla.

Jim's LP at 33.53 is called "Steam on the 5ft 3". My Grandfather gave me a copy when I was about 7 years old, 58 years ago. Listened to it on my Dad's record player for ages. Still available on CD!

What an incredible story of determination and love for history. I just love the passion all these men and women have for these trains. Congratulations on a wonderful achievement.

Excellent!

Maby one day it will happen again.

this really did bring a tear to my eye. what a amazing story.

I remember that vividly, I was only 6 and my grandfather, father and I rode on the last trip on the Sunday evening it was the trip that made my interest of narrow gauge railways even stronger, and now I'm only 12 months away from starting my road to being a driver Thanks for posting you should do another doco about the history of puffing billy Cheers Lucas

why did they change the 7A plate to 9A? Did 9A make the last trip on the line before it was closed?

What a great story. Shame about the weather, but great to see what an be achieved when you set your mind to it!! Thanks for sharing!

Such a beautiful documentary. Thank you for sharing it.
