This is in Bernard Street in the southern Melbourne suburb of Cheltenham. There are two sets of pedestrian traffic lights in this street alone that have a red and an orange light at the same time before turning green. The other set is located further east next to a school. To my knowledge only one of them changes to green like this now. This is memorabilia, because this set is the set that no longer changes to green in this manner.

We just visited Taiwan and the rush part only comes at the last 5-10 seconds before going blank or turning red. I thought it was cute.

i feel like im in my home country right now(taiwan)

Stupid idea. Encourage pedestrian to rush, but not wait patiently.

Wow! I like all traffic lights in Taipei (including incandescent ones).

6 car n set to bairnsdale, seems a little out of the ordinary

Why did the steam rail express not run to bainrsdale?

Probably it’s now used to notify drivers that have their engine off on a red light to start up their car

Our Government are so stupid to get rid of country railways, especially Warburton, Mansfield, Wonthaggi and many other lines. With the high cost of fuel, car registration, insurance and running/keeping cars, it would have been better and cheaper if people used trains instead. Without country towns trains the cost of travel is passed on the people with their own cars. So, people thought who needs trains when we can buy a car and travel wherever we like? Yes, exactly right, but given the cost of buying and running a car is sky high (depending on the car, engine size and weight), one needs to ask is it worth spending money buying a car and then spending more to run and maintain it? Cost of running a car to get to work daily, which includes all expenditures, e.g. yearly registration, insurance, tires, brakes, petrol, oil, service and repair is close to 10-15 thousands. Travelling by train is around 1000 to 2000 dollars, depending on distances travelled. It could be more or less than 1000 or 2000 dollars yearly. A massive saving that could see you paying mortgage and debts in no time. These days are not like the 40-50's with steam trains, nah, they have faster and cleaner trains with heater and air conditioners. But then, if people want to own cars and keep the Arabs richer, that's their business. However when people are in deep debts, they are refusing to realise that it's two things that drain them out of money, 1) it's their cars, large fat shit boxes that eat you out of house and home. 2) It's the people's heavy lead-foot driving habit, always pushing the pedal flat to the floor Jack Rabbit style, without a care in the world that bad driving habits waste more fuel, brakes, tyres, engine wear at tear, etc. Nah! They don't think about these things. They get up in the morning and trash the fat shit box to work, or drop kids to schools, then rush to work or shops at flat-out revs. In the afternoon, finish work, flat out to pick up kids, then flat out - rush home, then flat out - rush to women's gym, rush home to feed the family. And so are the men, in utes in particulars with and without trailers loaded with heavy tools, excavators, etc., flat out - to get home, only to be stuck bumper to bumper with other lead-foots, not giving a care about the handling behaviour of a loaded vehicle and trailer. Hard acceleration and hard braking, causing premature wear and tear of engine, brakes, tyres, etc., and an increase in fuel wastage. What would have the fuel lasted you at least a week, you're back at the bowser 3 days later. I am on the road 2-3 times per week, I watch all these stupid people who rush flat out to and from like bats out of hell, brain bead maniacs who have no consideration about being reasonable on the use of an important resource, petrol. Nah, flat out they go, then they have accidents, them they have to pay insurance premiums because it's their faults. Bloody hell, is this what every racing driver can do these days. The question is, how do they manage to keep themselves and their families when the car guzzles down half their income? Better go back on trains and work in factories like the good old days when jobs were plenty (and now they're all in China). In my days thousands of workers walked to work and thousands went by train. Only a few living away from stations and work took their cars. Think about it, how much you pay for yearly registration, insurance, other expenditures, etc., you will understand. If you dont, then you have no brains, probably fried omelette as brains. Don't own a car, like my friend did 2 years ago, see how much money you can have. Try 10 years without a car and you will soon have 100,000 in saving. 15 years and you will have your home paid off.

Gosh . Pretty unprotected crossing there . Just crossbucks? Odd . It has boom gates now . Didn’t these trains go to north shore

Love it

Helloooooo ladies!

Cherkoee know how to build lands :-)

the train rails are also made for trucks in the usa.. they are wider as the rail roads are part of the east west infrastructure, in case of emergency

WESTERN START TRUCK AS A TRAIN :-) USA

If I didn't know better I would've thought this was just railfanning shot on an android

Very nice . Your very lucky to have a crossing signal with lights and a Mck&h teardrop bell. I also see that you have a old wooden crossing sign in the background very good.

That's cool y'all built them r bought them n how much?

Just Track currently own RTL1 and will be used on the Inland Rail project hauling ballast wagons to flood the newly laid track , will see a lot of work soon .

I have seen here on you tube a video an old black and white video of a lady wearing a hat with a larger kind of train going around the brim of the hat ,,prolly from 1950,,,but I cant seem to find that now,,,any one seen that video ,, I would like to find it,,,can any one help me

REALLY COOL! are you in the business of making them if so how much for one

Why did they stop electric trains

Great job.

We have similar ones in the US. But the have 5 lights and are called doghouse traffic lights. They only have one red

Thank you.

Why did they end up stopping electrification in Gippsland?

Wow! That's the one from Singapore (Portable ones)

Hi Darren, I just wanted to let you know that I have looked at your Hobbies Plus page since I was in Grade 2 in 2011 and I am now Year 10 and still like to look at it occasionally.

Green light is back!

Thank you for sharing.

Tゲージの阪急タイプですか？大阪の業者。JR車両は基本的に詰まんないですからね。ラピートやアーバンライナーを期待してます！

Why are the crossing lights flashing so fast?

Great Video

May I ask where you got the track from?

Good to see you progressing on with your backyard railway Mr D. :-)

This is almost like a Dutch traffic light signal. Here in Germany, where I live by the way, the pattern is a bit different: when the light switches to green, red is still on and the yellow light lights up for 1 or 2 seconds, then the red and yellow lights turn off and the green light turns on. And when it switches to red, the green light turns off, then the yellow one lights up for 3 seconds. And finally, the red light turns on. With halogen bulbs, the light fades in the same way as the traffic light in this video.

now here,s a piece of history ! hardly a useful log can be seen in this pathetic load ! only 25% of these logs have straight enough material that can make it to the market after the sawmill & the likes of BUNNINGS (usa) that buy & sell our last trees as garden stakes ! do the last of our australian trees have to be abused this way ? this is not a BUNNINGS bash in particular but it is a perfect example of the old worlds plans of rape & pillage by global investors that don,t have a clue about whats going on within the essence of their portfolios ,

If only I was 50 years younger I would build one of these at 96 years old these old bones can barley move but good job this is beautiful

Don't understand the working theory of a gear driven steam locomotive?? Does it save weight, increase power, allow for a smaller boiler. I noticed the ring gear on each set of drivers. I assume there is a pinion gear driving the ring gear but I see a number of straight cut gears mounted on the driveshafts???

The L class looks good in the V/line livery. Not to metion a 3 car tait.

Ive seen this incandescent traffic lights in Melbourne.

In the USA I know of no signals that do that or at least that I have seen. In California it is usually Red -> Green -> Yellow -> Red. Sometimes there is a slight yellow before green but more and more of them go from red to green.

I would be very interested to see how you built your track bed.

Here's Alishan's Shay SL31 I filmed in November last year. Still going strong! czcams.com/video/EnxlvMSpRjE/video.html

Absolutely beautiful! Not all garden railways are G gauge. This one is suitable for the smallest of gardens.

Now all these logs are moved by road transport and continue to contest the road system. AH. Progress is so grand. Not

The green light is back!

Virtually no log trains on this line since around 2015-2016. Doubt if they will resume
