2011 provided much steam action on miniature and broader gauges. The Diamond Valley Railway celebrated 50 years of operations by day and night as well as carrying its 3 millionth passenger. Double headed R class ran to Bendigo for the annual Maldon experience. Y 112 joined D3 639 on country shuttles at Geelong and Ballarat. Mainline loco K 190 visited the Maldon Tourist Railway which ran double-headed K class for a Steam On Show day. Steamrail also ran double headed Ks to Swan Hill and Echuca. Two locos were back in steam as restoration work on Pozières was completed at the Bellarine Railway and R 711 returned to the mainline as a standard loco. Cabrides on no less than nine locos are an interesting feature of this production.
