@@FromtheWindowSeat thanks! It’s only my second voiceover video so it’s a been a big learning process, finding out what works and what doesn’t. Hoping to put out an even better video after this one.
I worked in the Boiler Shop at Newport Workshops when the N cars were being built. I worked on the underframes which were assembled upside down in a jig, welded then lifed out and placed into two positioners so the underframes could be turned to be welded in a flat position. Manufacturing the N cars was a great project to be involved in and these carriages have stood the test of time. There has only been one N car withdrawn from service and ulimatley scrapped due to the Kerang rail crash in 2007.
Excellent coverage and commentary. Well written and spoken. I particularly liked the way the credits for other people's work were shown. Keep up the good work.
Thank you! I find it important to recognise other people’s work as this video wouldn’t have been possible otherwise. I also hope that more people will appreciate these great photographers as a result.
This may sound weird, but I love the smaller windows in these cars. Many modern trains have huge windows with very narrow frames. This means in the morning and evening, the sun can bake everyone inside as there is very little shade. It doesn't matter how good the air conditioning is, you will still be well and truly cooked.
I had this issue while riding on the Adelaide Metro stock a couple days ago, warm weather but at least it’s not too much of a scorcher like today is. My guess is that the larger windows are required so in the event of a crash, passengers can get out/be reached easier?
I think I remember you liking my instagram post showing the old V/Line H class carriage down at SteamRanger's Goolwa depot too? They're using it for Cockle Train services over the summer I've heard, since those carriages are air conditioned. I'll have to take a trip back down there some time soon to photograph them running!
yeah I knew that, but I haven't bothered filming them because you gotta time it with a boat during the opening time and there's no guarantee that a boat will go past during the opening time.
Thanks! I asked around quite a bit for permission to use various collections, the Chris Drymalik and David Arnold flickr profiles are probably my top 2 favourite rail collections.
As a country resident the government never asked if we wanted to have first class and took it away when they replaced the N class now in economy l have to stand from Melbourne to Seymour on every peak service thanks labour
Yes I have heard a few complaints about the Vlocity rollout, especially on the Warrnambool line. From the sounds of it they should’ve done a better job of it.
@@redhen334 They should of I think that vlocity railcars are downgrade and a backwards step the N cars are definitely more comfortable I will miss traveling on the N cars when the vlocity's run all services
Thanks! I’m led to believe they were a good acquisition as they were readily available and required minimal work, and with air conditioning they’ll be useful for summer services. When they are in service I hope to do a similar video.
Simply because they missed out on a N set. While this mob managed to obtain a set which will be destroyed in short time like the rest of their rolling stock.
Any idea why V/lines H type carriages are in South Australia? I filmed BTH161 BCH121 and BIH181 on the back of trucks driving through Tailem Bend back in NOV 24.

@@Aussie_Transport5371 thanks! I’m very interested to see the future for the Murraylander, and hope to ride one of their trains one day.
Hey there, did you know we have 3 drawbridge crossing signals you can film in Adelaide SA?

V/Line offered SteamRanger a set of H cars at no cost to SteamRanger. The only thing SteamRanger had to pay for was for a PH power van

Where are the Yarra valley railway N cars?
My best guess would be that they’re stored in Healesville
@@redhen334 but where in healsville

My cousin lived at Cooke Plains back in late 80s. I don't know how he slept through the noise of trains passing his back yard.
And there would’ve been heaps more trains back in those years too. I heard you get used to it.
3:20 look like American train yellow 😊
Yep, the Murraylander seems to draw inspiration from the Union Pacific Railroad.
👏👏
Wow, honestly had no idea about this prior to watching this video lol
Even tho the majority of this happened last year, I’m glad people are still learning something. Thanks for watching!
