Rail Motor sets 628/728 coupled with 622/722. The Darker colour of 628/728 is close to the original livery but the decorative designs are missing. The Rail Motor Society at Paterson had rail motor sets of this class, 621/721 and 629/729, and had restored the original livery design. (2:16) As for 622/722, the red, orange & white livery is of the 1990s but I don't know when it was applied.
The livery you refer to on 628/728 was State Rail/Cityrail's attempt at repainting a couple of sets Tuscan/Indian Red in the early 90s, while the livery on 622/722 (which I don't recall running in the Hunter Valley) is Candy. That's what we all called it, and it first appeared around 1981 on the XPT as it was displayed at the Easter Show at Moore Park. Later, loco 44100 and some RUB/HUB cars received it before it became more widespread. The RMS set 621/721 is in the better known Tuscan livery, but from what I've seen the restoration was a Dulux Overhaul, with the interior still having blue seats and pale grey interior, which is NOT how they were most of their lives.
To the producer, could you do a clip like this about product's that used to go by train like cattle, petrol and anything else that I don't remember. Delivering petrol to the petrol depots near Carrington? Otherwise a brilliant clip as usual.🇦🇺🤠
6:40 NR class loco test. Built by Goninan Newcastle plant and paid for by the federal government were designed for interstate National Rail freight trains but are used on The Ghan passenger train today and replaced the very good-looking Morrison-Knudson built CLP class that were used from January 1994 for a very short time. 2:40 Bedford truck.
Morrison Knudsen only *_rebuilt_* the 17 members of the CL class into CLF/CLP configuration. They were built by Clyde Engineering in 1970/71. All still exist (just) although CLF1 was written off when it hit a truck near Old Junee in southern NSW, and CLP10 is now back to CL17 - the LAST Streamliner built new!
@@tobys_transport_videos I think it would be more like 639/739 would've been the last of the 670/720 class, and indeed, 639 and 739 are sitting at the Rail Motor Society's Paterson depot. I know, because I've seen them, buried away in the back of the shed.
@@neilforbes416 *_639/739_** ??? WTF???* No Such Unit!!! I can assure you that there were *18* built. 638 hit the buffers at Newcastle station and was alleged to have bent its frame, and so was withdrawn. I later saw it being towed via the South to LVR Cowra. AFAIK that's where it is still. RMS only have 621/721 operational, and that is a miracle in itself as I remember watching this set getting a thrashing out of Thornton one day by a driver who obviously hated 620s! RMS have what is left of the 600/700 class. These are the same basic body as a 620, but after that, just about everything changes! I worked on restoring the 660/720 set that is currently at Byron Bay, and in doing so quickly learnt a lot of differences in the three classes (600/700, 620/720, 660/760).
@@tobys_transport_videos Sorry, Typo error! Meant to say 629/729. Also misread your earlier comment. Yes, *629/729* languishes in the shed at Paterson's RMS depot.
@@neilforbes416 629 I can believe. I think 625 is the other set now running in preservation. It is owned by a bloke who is working on a Tulloch car (Yes, the Riverina type!). He is working on getting it running under its own power. He's here on UA-cam, worth looking for. 🙂
After seeing a few more of them, I realise those transitions were deliberate.

4:50 I don't know if that transition effect was deliberate or accidental, but it was interesting anyway.
Nice video! This is the first time I saw what an Australian cemetery looks like. Why are the graves above ground?
They’re not 😂 they’re 6 feet under.

638/738 - a latter class of rail motor, probably dating from the mid-1960s. (6:32)
638/738 was the last of the 620/720 class. I rode that set many times on Hunter Valley workings.

2:06 What was that brown livery called?
Indian red
I read somewhere it was unofficially called "turd"
I remember this as Tuscan Red. My uncle worked on the railway and always referred to it as such.
Tuscan red
They have mufflers in OZ? none in the US is all about POWA not convenience
that is not always true.......
