Many
will remember the first 'Railway Adventures Across Australia' series which screened
on Network Ten in mid 1999. This starred Scott McGregor and was shot over various
locations across Australia. For further information on this series, visit the
Railway Adventures web site at www.otr.com.au
A
new series, titled 'Down The Line' has commenced and has been under production
since late 2002. As part of this, TumbaRail have managed to secure a position
in the production. Episode 1 Scene 18 will feature the 1.8km section of line leased by TumbaRail, between Kyeamba Creek and the Ladysmith Railway Station,
and was shot with Scott McGregor & crew from 1pm to 6pm on the Australia Day public holiday, January
27, 2003.
As
we cannot give specific details as yet, the production has been sold to the Seven
Network, along with 21 other countries and will be aired late 2003 / early 2004.
Confirmed dates to follow when known.
