@@QueenslandTrains101 not entirely sure but most videos are at least a month after recording

@@thestargatekingthat would be expected since you are at eumundi

I like them too the drivers are very friendly which is main reason I get them :)

all good, crowded platforms will do that

@@thestargatekingCheers mate

i'd assume they would be if they are up there

@@brisal88sometimes it seems fine then I’ll notice after recording that it needs cleaning

would be cool to see the old seat design remain alongside a refurbishment

glad you liked it

@@BrizzysTrains it’s a fun little trip

most likely

They still happen in Wycheproof in Victoria from time to time. Although solely a freight track these days there is a UA-cam video of a heritage tour earlier this year running down the street

@@xr6lad , the train used to run down the street in koondrook too. there are videos on yt of street running in rockhampton . there is one video i found of the quarry train going down bunting road brooklyn in melbourne's western suburb. i havent been able to find it since.

the train at 18:11 is the same train i got back from Rosewood too (at that time as well, i got the clip as i was walking to the station. but yeah, it was very painful trying to get through, didnt help that i was very sleep deprived as well so i was just dying on the inside.

@@thestargatekingsorry bout that, the whole day was terrible I almost fell asleep trying to write it

Why???

Q rail done shady deal with bombarder company in which they demand they have matance contract and own sheads at wulkawracka. Big shit show. The trains were not compatible with qld standards whole electric system was replaced at walkers.

It's a *DH* (diesel hydraulic), ex-QR DH class, originally built in Maryborough, like a lot of Queensland locos and rollingstock were. It wouldn't be more than 600 HP. The rollingstock are Brisbane suburban trains (NGR series) that were originally built there in Maryborough. The braking system is external disk brakes on the motor cars due to the fact that these trains are Narrow Gauge (3' 6").

@@tobys_transport_videos The NGR were built in India however required significant rework in Maryborough to bring them into compliance with disability access legislation among other design faults. All previous electric multiple units for Queensland Rail were built in Maryborough Qld

@@barlimanned Thanks for the clarification. I rode a few (too many!) when I was in Brisbane in May but didn't look for a Builders' Plate. I just assumed (Obviously wrongly) that they were built in Maryborough.

Why?

Why?

@@xr6lad cause it was nice to see some colour on our trains, instead of just bare steel and yellow, like Melbourne with purple on there vline trains or uk trains, there always so colourful

yeah, once the assembled sets are ready, they get sent to Marybrough west via Queens Park where they get acceptence testing (might be a bit different for the NGR but other refurbished sets getting tested before being either towed into Mayne or driven down

@@johnmunns5964 another DH I believe, they use it when moving full train sets to the mainline, otherwise you only really need one loco

11 class, ex tassie, Emu Bay Railway, that;s 1104

1700s are DE, not DH.

@@JBofBrisbane auto correct took out my comma 🤪

No 1700 class left in regular use. There are a handful of 1720 class (same body, larger engine), but they are slowly dying, even the Kuranda ones. A few (such as class leader 1720 and 1762) are with other operators. 1754, 1734, 1770, and 1737 were seen withdrawn at Redbank at the end of May. The blue engine seen here was built (in Maryborough) for Tasmania's Emu Bay Railway. It is similar to the QR DH class and NSW 73 class. WAGR/Westrail also had a couple of this style for shunting.

162

@@thestargateking refurbishment’s maybe?

@@Jenson-Brisbaneyes, 162 is now in service saw it on Gold Coast train about 2 weeks ago

@@jacobstrains yeah I caught it on a 3-car run on the Gold Coast line couple weeks ago, looks really fresh inside

the full NGR fleet are reciving upgrades to meet DSAPT requirements (increasing size in the original toilet module as well as introducing a second toilet module to all sets, plus other modifications and improvements to prioority seating, this unit is one of the last to recieve upgrades with the final set bein 771 which should be leaving Maryborough soon.

@@thestargateking they've been at it for quite some time haven't they

@@paulmclellan6550 yeah, they had a max of 4 trains at a time so its taken some time to do 75 train sets, but good to see it finishing up now

@@thestargateking maybe queensland rail will now revert back to having their trains built locally instead of overseas so it won't be a problem

Walkers is no longer walkers engineering it hasn’t been for some time it’s EDI Rail, the trains are made overseas by the same company in conjunction with bombardier, that is why the trains are sent to Maryborough is because the company is doing upgrades in the rail car shops, maintenance is done out at rd bank plains in the edi railshops there. If you are lucky enough to know someone who works at edi they maybe able to tell you the next lot of movements. But I spent my teenage years up until my late 20’s living in Maryborough and at one stage I was one of the night security guards there, train movements are nothing special for the locals. Fun fact most of the DH class locomotives bar a small handful were turned into sugar cane locomotives for the sugar mills around the Mackay to Townsville region.

i was very, very, very, very lucky. i was staying in Hervey bay at the time, and noticed that the local bus network extends to Howard via Maryborugh, and one day a week theres an extra trip to howard making a return trip possible, so thats what i ended up doing, came into town earier in the morning and noticed there were a bunch of traffic control hanging around so figuered something was up, and i didnt have to wait long

😂😂😂

what about one day ago

having to turn around not in a siding or station, its hard to change ends in a 6 car set thats a non NGR as you have to exit onto the ground

Just love the excelleration of these sets. Enjoying these videos, keep em coming!!

this was back from a previous track closure a good few months ago when GC services were originating from Corinda during peak instead of running from the city via Tennyson. so a few extra services ran to and from Corinda to not have services be too busy from the extra passengers wanting to change trains

@@thestargateking that makes sense then cheers
