- March 1988
Two separate days.
1) A very wet and miserable Sydney Terminal. A look at some of the trains of the time.
2) A far better day. Trains and buses around Central station before parts of a ride down to Menangle (trains at Menangle will be in a future video).
Red Rattlers and silver sets.
V sets & a clever target plate.
422 and 73 Class
Leyland Leopards and various Mercedes Bus types.
Coaches
A much-changed streetscape around Central.
As always, a low-quality VHS recording from the 1980s, so please do not expect Star Wars epic type quality.

Gosh really would loved the old days. This is better than todays public transport.
It was certainly far more interesting back then mate.
You obviously never travelled on public transport in "the old days", then!! :D
I commuted in Sydney, and then between the Blue Mts and Central, from 1964 to 1984. It wasn't until air-conditioned V-sets replaced the U-boats that the experience became "better".
@@hcrun I HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH IT IT WAS ONLY BETWEEN PENRITH AND PARRAMATTA YOU FEEL THE HEAT BUT THE BLUE MOUNTAINS WAS 10 DEGREES COOLER
This brings back some great memories. :) I loved the candy colour scheme.
As did I mate.
Not at the time, but it has grown on me as representative of my era.
Back in the day when there was variety of trains unlike today
TRAINS MADE OVERSEAS TO CATER FOR ASIAN COMMUTERS
yea not like to day shit all the same looking old as hell but the vset best train and still going better then the new shit coming
Ride on the T4 Illawarra line today. Nothing but T-sets, even on the interurban runs. It's a long line where rolling stock goes to die!
closed railway down here in 1980 because cost as town slow die way no train service
thank you for the video
Thanks mate
Hard to believe Leopards and Mark Vs served alongside each other for two years. TWO YEARS!!
awesome
Thanking you
The old mark1 leopards the steering was tough but they had character
Tell me about it! I remember clipping a lamp pole over Brookvale way when I struggled to get the steering round quick enough.
They were horrid. Their steering systems were designed with power steering in mind but the penny pinching DGT opted out so we had a bus harder to steer than a Leopard with manual steering from the get go. The unions made an issue of it and some were converted to PS.
@9:01 George Canstanza!
😀
Red rattlers
Sure miss them in regular service.
Can’t be
Believe they stil had HZ kingswoods as taxis in the city at 10:20 . I thought there was a limitation to the age & kms travelled by the car before it had to be retired?
I suspect there would be strict limitations today. Probably less so back then..
Until I started putting that video together, I never realised I saw them as cabs :-)
Not until the passenger transport act 1990.
Dose anyone know of any videos of the tulloch double deaker motor cars? C3801/C3804
Can not recall seeing any sorry.
@@NeathSpadge that's alright do you know what they sounded like?
@@Shitphototaker69 not really.
Have mostly researched the loco side of things.
Only took notice of sparks very late in the piece
Is this a double deck tulloch motor set in this video? facebook.com/watch/?v=1765936123534939
Suburban Motor Car C 3804 has heritage significance as the world's first commissioned double-decker power car, and was designed and constructed within NSW at Tulloch's Ltd., Rhodes. The car has significance as one of four prototype double-deck power cars, and proved that it was possible to build an operationally successful double deck motor car, now a standard design concept that is used on railway systems throughout the world. The car has significance as a modification of the successful Tulloch/Railways designed double deck trailer car that was adapted in order to provide a uniform looking train when an eight-car set was marshalled. The car has technical significance as one of four prototypes that successfully demonstrated it was possible to maximise the seating in a double deck motor car by using up to date electrical technology. This car has significance as it was the first to use miniaturised electrical components and as such paved the way for such equipment to be used extensively elsewhere. Suburban Motor Car C 3804 has rarity significance as it is the only vehicle of the four prototypes that were constructed to survive as a motor car. Combined with the fact that this was the world's first commissioned double-deck power car, the car is a highly significant and very rare item
What happened to C7484, 7488, 7511 & T4636?

How about C7484 & T4636?
@@rdrogel still not known.
@@NeathSpadge More likely were cut up.
This was the last year those carriages were in service if I'm right? You could open the window in the door halfway down and lean right out of the carriage!
Leaning out is the only true way to enjoy any railway journey.
No doing that on a Waratah. Well, not without a hammer I guess :-)
