The Diamond Valley Railway is an amazing 7¼" (184mm) gauge miniature railway located in Eltham Lower Park, in suburban Melbourne. It's a complicated operation that carries thousands of passengers each week.

All photos, video, writing & narration by Martin Bennet. The track diagram was provided by the DVR.
