The Diamond Valley Railway at the Eltham Lower Park is one of Victoria's finest miniature railways. The 7¼ inch gauge railway features a 2km circuit with different loops, bridges and tunnels and lots of scenery!
In this video we take a look around this wonderful miniature railway. On this particular day the railway has hosting a private running day for members and invited guests as part of the railway's 58th birthday celebrations. As a result we get heaps of trackside views around the railway members of the general public wouldn't normally be able to see.
Miniature trains seen include a Victorian Railways S & T Class diesel locomotives, a V/Line G Glass, A NSWGR 81 Class, Australian National CL & BL Class locomotives, a Rio Grande class K-36 steam locomotive, a Victorian Railways N/A Class steam locomotive, and more!
The Diamond Valley Railway is open to the public every Sunday from 11am - 5pm, with rides costing $3.

My father took me there in the 70s to ride those miniature trains. Great to see!

Gosh, I remember going on trains like this in Dobwalls (Cornwall - United Kingdom) when I was a kid, it was the best place on earth, loved going around on these! "Keep your feet on the boards and your arms in!"

@@themightyquinnm190 That being the case, WHAT HAPPENED TO THE WILLIAM JEFFERS? As far as I know, The Wm Jeffers, a professionally built, 4-8-8-4 model of a UP Big Boy, was shipped to Australia and the The Diamond Valley Railway. It had been a headline locomotive from John Southern's railway at Dobwalls in Cornwall (UK) in the 80's and 90's. Since then, it has vanished. I know many people have mentioned it, but there was no answer from DVR when I asked some years ago and no-one has come up with even a clue as to where it might be. I'd hate to think it has been scrapped or walled up in someone's garage. If The DVR don't want it, let KZfaq know and someone will start a fund to bring it home.

Man I the Australians are wild when it comes to this scale, Here in the states we do 1/6 to 1/8 scale on 7.5 gauge track with the occasional narrow gauge guys coming by, I also believe we had 1 guy go to Mill Creek Central in Ohio that brought this kinda scale there but all he had was the locomotive and nothing else

I only know the prices of steam locomotives but I'd guess a diesel of that size in 7¼ would run you around 6-20k depending on who you know or how much work you want to put in yourself.

I have actually been there multiple times throughout the years since I was a kid in the mid 2000s! I also got to drive a short train there supervised back in early 2017 as I was close friends with a great guess known as Michael who was volunteering there at the time and of course it was on a Saturday when the railway was closed to the public! I also believe BL25 seen at 9:00 was the exact locomotive I drove and the number seen in my FPV video I did back then on the cab dashboard was 7256 so I’m guessing that number was something along the lines of the unit consist number! It was also not to hard to dive due to it being a Hydraulic locomotive! :)
