The Beetle

"The Beetle" was a small AEC railmotor that ran between Fawkner and Somerton in suburban Melbourne up until the 1950's. Some historical scenes were recreated from old photos on the tramway, as well as the Beetle itself to film some footage for Martin Bennet's Upfield line video. Here we have a look at some of those scenes and the process for creating them.

The book shown in this video is Victorian Railways Railmotors: A photographic profile
Edited by Neville W Gee and John Sargent, Train Hobby Publications.
