Great video, nice to see someone making a video on something that the creator is passionate about. The Tangara carriages in Sydney are a tad more wider and taller, but it’s likely that a preservation society in Sydney will get a Tangara and modify it to look like the 4D.
Maybe, I only spoken about the preservation about the 4D units on behalf as a suggestion. Thirlmere will likely have a Tangara carriage added into their static display once their entirety decomisioned in the future. I don't see the Sydney S-sets are running as an excursion train like the red rattlers and I have heard that all the Sydney C-sets had met the same fate as the Melbourne 4D since that the C-sets were never preserved.
@@aspiewithattitude3213 Well, there are 4 S sets preserved, 2 operational which have done 2 tours so far (one up to Hawkesbury River and another along the Bankstown line), and there is one C set "preserved" by SETS, it's just stored behind the Auburn Maintenance Centre at the moment. The motors on it have apparently seized so it isn't operational at the moment. 2 C set cars from C11 are being used at an Emergency Services training centre at Orchard Hills, and 2 S set cars are used at lewisham for Sydney Trains' training centre.
I clearly have no insider knowledge on the happening in Melbourne back then but here in Sydney we also had a lot of issues with these sets in the early days. Yet many of those issue were the result of poor crew training and little back up. We made mistakes. Once the crew came to know and understand the train the incidents reduced. Later with the introduction of the Millennium trains, and then Waratah trains the training before crew even stepped on the sets was first class and support was also provided and so the number of incidents was greatly reduced. I think you are right, rather than the train being unworkable for Melbourne, the number cruncher's just decided changing the network to accommodate the train was not value for money.
Bayside never got the chance to run this train at all! It was all Hillside at the time! Was Angry that they only did test in the one side of the line at the time.
Even the 4D units came as far as Warrigal when it was still electrified in 1992. I did say in the video that Epping and Hurstbridge had no hope while showing the Xtrapolis exiting the Jolimont tunnel. It could have also done the Frankston line.
I understand this is an amateur video but still its really low quality. I'm sure it could've been shortened to half its running time just sticking t the facts & with less, if's, buts & pauses. Maybe reading from a script would've helped.

6 carriages of the c set were saved 4 preserved and 2 for the fire bridage

I've listened to myself, not once I ever said "But" in this video content and thanks for the dislike on this video content too.
