My cousin on my mothers aunt side of the family was struck by a desil freight train and blew up like ziploc bag full of chicken guts. This was 44 years ago and still to this day skull fragments with chunks of hair turn up.🎉
What a beautiful sight to see and to hear. Thank god there are people out there who love and care enough to bring these pieces of history back working again and riding the rails again.
Having spent many days of my professional life walking around Newport with the shunters there, and having had many trains moved by Y136 (as well as the occasional ride), that sound is so familiar.
The reason why is so that Incase of a failure it's not on the main tracks. This not to delay freight or passenger Transit. Plus since it hasn't ran in a long time they have to test everything to see if it's working properly
Great video, I remember Y102 stored in the shed when I was there about four years or so back, good to see it fired up and running, some rust removal and a good paint job, which Seymour is renown for, will see Y102 good. The "Y" class, if my memory serves correct, used the old bogies and traction motors off the old Tait sets in order to reduce building costs back in the day?😉
I love this type of history. A train engine that is very old and still running. Keep this engine alive it's history. Fix this engine and let it run at times. People don't realize that this engine makes a lot of runs.🎉🎉🎉🎉💕💕💕💕💕💕💕🎉🎉🎉🎉 It's American made with respect.
As a city boy, I remember these on country trips in the car, in the last days of Victorian Branch lines in the '70s. Looking across a paddock and seeing them towing a line of beaten up general purpose little wagons with fixed wheels and bouncing all over the place with a Guards van on the end with a little chimney. I imagined a guard in there, ciggie hanging from his mouth, boiling a pot of tea on a pot-belly stove and trying to prevent a disaster with the kettle sliding and rattling on the hot plate. I think it was about 1978, and it was almost all over. The branch lines closed one after the other.
@@duncantaylor2334honestly I wouldn’t mind a dirty and grimy Y class maybe touch up the on a few bits of paint and rust holes but try and keep it in a dirty vline livery
Incredible that it works, thats excellent, and Wonderful to listen the Sound of the Engine. Similar machines worked in Spain. Best regards by Markus from Spain
Mo mater where you are or what type of train it is, it's always nice to see them move under their own power again and knowing that maybe one day they will be nice and shinny again pulling coaches or wagons on a preseved railway bringing joy to many a person. Well done team.
An old beast roars to life once more. Y102 has been brought back after a while of being down. The condition doesn't look too good. It needs a new paint job
@@haddockface Injectors probably, but unless an exhaust valve is stuck open or a head is cracked, they’re good. They would have already known before they started it if a head seal was leaking water. Edit: They might as well change a whole power assembly if it’s leaking water out the intake ports.
Actually designed to give twenty five years of trouble free service in very demanding conditions. Most of the locomotives that have been in my care were usually double that. The oldest I rewired was built in October of 1941. She still works every week In revenue service. It’s in Tipton Indiana USA. New wire to the original plan. The original cloth covers wire was very high resistance do to corrosion and failing insulation. This unit sounds like it has some failed bridges!
Some machine and I dare say some work done and yet to do! Just needing new seals on the turbo's, some new valves or the old ones cut in, some new piston rings but mainly, new fuel injectors and you're good to go...on with a new cab and body work. Great to see. We have many projects like that going on in the UK. Cheers!
I’m a car person but I’d love to see them patch the rust holes and keep the patina and try to get someone to recreate the vline logos but have the same patina effect
Well if you ever wanted a subject to copy weathering on your model locomotives this is your example it’s got everything I’m definitely saving this video
Thanks for posting this - I wan't even aware of the centre at Seymour, so I headed up to the open day today and saw it in person, along with all the other stuff there.
I spent some time working in Melbourne in 2006 and frequented the Railfan Bookshop in the CBD, where I also saw several V/Line locomotives in service crossing the elevated section between Flinders Street and Southern Cross - happy days, even though I was working! What are the plans for this locomotive - a return to VR blue and gold, perhaps? Congratulations from England on returning it to running order.
Just incredible to see this run after three decades. How did it not end up covered in graffiti during that time? Great camerawork and congratulations to all at the Seymour Rail Heritage Centre for their efforts getting this old girl going again.
If she is safe to run, then putting her back into service may be an nice way to fund her resotration as people will be able to say, I rode on her when she looked liked this and now look at her now. Hope she makes a glorious return to her former glory.
when i was a young fella whenever i'd catch the V\line train i'd always try an make sure i was as close to the engine as possible even if it meant standing with the door open just to hear the grunt of the v8 diesel
Looks menacing with that patina. It's like a railroad version of the truck used in the movie Dual.
Killdozer!!!!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Love that movie
@@arthurmchugh5184u cannot polish devils dumplings, but can defo roll them in glitter..😊
👍👍👍
The fact that it still even exists is amazing. The fact that it can still even run after all these years is sensational.
Simple technology, no electronics, just reliable !
'93's not that long ago. Seems like yesterday to me
Almost amazing it's wheels/bearing were not rusted in place, until I saw the various dates, it had been moved etc.
My cousin on my mothers aunt side of the family was struck by a desil freight train and blew up like ziploc bag full of chicken guts. This was 44 years ago and still to this day skull fragments with chunks of hair turn up.🎉
Good heavens!
Such is the resilience of diesel locomotives. Thank you for bringing us this excellent video presentation which is very much appreciated.
G'day from NSW. It is great to see any retired loco come to life again. Well done those who gave the old girl some life again. Mike in Oz
😁
Love the sound of those early EMD engines!!!! Thanks for the video!!!!
The sounds of a 567 based prime mover is music to my ears
It sounds like an old grain truck it's awesome.
Sounds like an old 251 Alco
Smokes like an Alco too
@@BryanPhillips-tk1km That's what I was thinking. All the EMDs I've ever heard have a turbo whine. The horn needs a bit of work on it.
Will be great to see it get some attention and a new coat of paint
What a beautiful sight to see and to hear. Thank god there are people out there who love and care enough to bring these pieces of history back working again and riding the rails again.
OMG...just watching this video, I could literally smell the exhaust fumes!! Superb...now look after her!! ✌️👍👍👍👍.
Wow, 31 years. Amazing work to get it turning its own wheels again.
Having spent many days of my professional life walking around Newport with the shunters there, and having had many trains moved by Y136 (as well as the occasional ride), that sound is so familiar.
Made my day...and I'm in the USA. Big smile.
EMDs never die! Wow
Great weathering job ! I can easily image the thrill when the wheels started turning !
Looks like they were having a great time running it up and back. now that is what I call playing with big boy toys!

Yes they used bogies off the withdrawn swing door motor cars. 1918 technology still going.
Thank you for making this fabulous video. Congratulations to the mechanical staff who got this loco running.
Definitely dignified decay. It sounds wonderful. 😊👍
I'm 65. I'm stealing that line for my gray hair/beard and wrinkles!!! 🤣
@ljosephdumas3113 You're welcome🙂
This is absolutely wonderful. Beautiful video! Truly magnificent documentation of a momentous occasion. Thank you for sharing!
We must be in Australia. I’m in Chicago! Great video.
Ich liebe diesen Typ von Loks und ihr Geräusch traumhaft😆
Looks like an old S-1 to me. Love the weathering. Cheers from eastern TN
It's a GM/Clyde E6B. It has an EMD 6-567C marine V6 and, oddly enough, GE traction motors. The engines were originally designed for marine use.
No EMD - 8 in service?
I was a shunter at Tottenham yard in the early 70’s. I’ve most likely worked with that engine.
A most satisfying video! Thank-you.
I'm a V/Line orange and gray era fan, but there's no denying that T382 is a classic. (Ken in USA)
It lives!
I'm an Alco person, but the resilience of these old EMDs has to be admired and respected 😊❤

That is just amazing seeing this old patina covered Loco move and work like it was brand new. ^5
Bravo and thank you for saving her, she is a beast that deserves a second life, she looks beautiful despite her worn dress.
Great to see Y102 has been reactivated. Looks and sounds very nice, hopefully the paint and body work will get fixed up shortly.
I was a fireman in the 80 s i remember working 102 around sth Dyson and Tottenham yards. Thanks for the memory👍
The next step is to get it looking nice again! Nice video mate
Nope
@@duncantaylor2334honestly I wouldn’t mind a dirty and grimy Y class maybe touch up the on a few bits of paint and rust holes but try and keep it in a dirty vline livery
Maybe one day Y102 will be given an ICE Radio to join the others on excursions
Looks absolutely perfect as it is..... Too many shiny and clean loco's out there, need some worn, grimy, dirty, rusty ones too!
It's a good pressure wash and some cab plates away from an authentic in-service look
After 31 years, was it still complete with engine etc, or had it been used as a source of parts.
Amazing video! And great work from the volunteers who helped repair this beautiful piece of history.
That's so cool. Thanks for sharing!
I'm an EMD man, myself. But, Gawd O' Mighty, that's sweet. You go, Ol' Girl! Go! Go!! (And thank you so much for the video.)
Heavy metal thunder. Fantastic!
I just came across this video ... Subscribed!!!
a beast awakens!
At 7:44, that was awesome hearing and seeing it running like that.
Great job. Very nice video. Greetings from Germany, Andreas
Missed these coming thru my town late at night when town was dead silent , and emd was all you heard, no leaking manifold in those days
What a lovely video
Now that's a patina.
H_E_L_L_O
Fantastic great Video! BIG LIKE!
Well above average. Magical diesel sounds.
Wonderful to see and hear - look forward to seeing livery restored (although I prefer blue and gold!)
A truly heartwarming experience. Thanks for making my day!❤
I really enjoy your videos. What a beast! Can’t wait see it for myself
Bad Ass Bro… Loved seeing this video !!
Smoking like an Alco but well done
Incredible that it works, thats excellent, and Wonderful to listen the Sound of the Engine. Similar machines worked in Spain. Best regards by Markus from Spain
Can’t wait to see it at the open day in November!
Update: I cannot go : (
Great video. I love how she sounds like an old truck.
So cool !!it's like the train version of the truck from the movie Duel!!

Great seeing Y102 at the Open Day in November. I hope it's restored in true VR royal blue and gold colours. 🙏
Incredible
EMDs are hard to kill
Just recently went to the Melbourne tram Museum at hawthorn
Thank you. Mick Australia 🇦🇺
I love the sound of a old EMD
Nice, now Seymour Railway Heritage Centre now has a locomotive to shunt their carriages after an excursion!

It needs a lot of boilermaker work done to cover up all the rotted steel before a DuPont overhaul can be contemplated.
@@ralfie8801 Cylinder head stuff like valves and injectors too.

built to a 100 year working lifespan...try getting that out of a vlo

Fantastic to see a 'retired ' loco back under power. Well done to all involved.
Que motoron. Buena resistencia. La estructura. Restauradita. Y queda bien padre.

yey VLine.not surprised at all. Bit of smoke here and there. Nothing to worry about.
Thanks for posting this - I wan't even aware of the centre at Seymour, so I headed up to the open day today and saw it in person, along with all the other stuff there.
Great video! So excited to see ol rusty Vline moving abroad!!
Thank you for showing us the interior and Engine.
Got any historical info on it? Was it just a shunting engine?
That's what I miss about modern locomotives - the sound.
It's SO good.
Excellent video.... super !
First Comment So exiting. Going to Seymour for the Open Weekend on the Sunday❤❤
Awesome Machine Back To Job❤
That's what I was thinking too.
Pretty good for a prime mover designed 85 years ago hooked up to bogies and traction motors over a centruy old. Makes J515 look like a spring chicken.
A testament to the engineers who put her together years ago👍👍👍
There is a radio station locally called Y 102
Easy Listening
Very cool! I would leave the locomotive in its current cosmetic condition in my personal opinion
I Agree, not many preserved locos are still in paint they wore in service
I spent some time working in Melbourne in 2006 and frequented the Railfan Bookshop in the CBD, where I also saw several V/Line locomotives in service crossing the elevated section between Flinders Street and Southern Cross - happy days, even though I was working! What are the plans for this locomotive - a return to VR blue and gold, perhaps? Congratulations from England on returning it to running order.
Will be a very useful shunter around Seymour
Fantastic after 31 years, I noticed that the driver was blowing the "cobwebs" out of the old girl
love the rusted look
Just incredible to see this run after three decades. How did it not end up covered in graffiti during that time?
Great camerawork and congratulations to all at the Seymour Rail Heritage Centre for their efforts getting this old girl going again.
Rust graffiti 🚂
If she is safe to run, then putting her back into service may be an nice way to fund her resotration as people will be able to say, I rode on her when she looked liked this and now look at her now. Hope she makes a glorious return to her former glory.

😊 beautiful, more mechanic than electronic, it will last longer than my car
A true railway rat rod, just the right look and sound. Sounds like a 8-567 to me.
Awesome
Outstanding work everyone. What’s the plan for the livery?
Nice Loco - I recommend a few coats of clear varnish to preserve this very beautiful patina!
i like how you can see throuhg the vline livery into the old VR one
It wants to run. Looks like V12, they are the best sounding among the GMDs. If it is on broad gauge, I will buy it.
What a sound👍
