Scenes like this brings good memories to when I was in my childhood. Especially seeing the briquette trains plus B class hauled passenger trains, even when some B classes were sold to West Coast Rail
Wonder what happened to B65's cast iron side "B65" plates? Why do Victorian country passenger diesel hauled trains have a louvre van attached? Still doing this in 2020, maybe parcels? NSW railways haven't handled parcels for years. Thanks John for yet another professional presentation from your archive treasure chest! Bring on the Tait and Harris trains to top it all off. Dave
V/Line in the early 90s ran D vans carrying parcels and other small freight. After that most D vans were withdrawn from service. These days locomotive hauled trains sometimes run PH vans, these are power generated vans and used to be used more commonly on the shorter distance passenger trains when a V/Line N or P class wasn't present ie. A class hauled
The vans were also great for bike riders going riding in the country as you could put the bikes in the van. The Velocity units do not have so much space for bikes at a time when there are plenty of Railtrails reachable by train.
As a VR fan I can see where your coming from. Though I do like the V/ on the fronts of locos. The introduction of grey was a good idea instead of all orange.
Love those Streamliners - Bulldogs and Ts worth their weight in gold!!
i love those vintage EMD diesels in V/Line colors.
Thanks, there are more to come

6 B Class locos were sold to WCR.
They were B61, B64, B65, B75, B76, & B80.
Best colour scheme v/line ever had.
The railway was so much better when it was entirely state owned.
The N looks off . That’s a lot of power, even today.
2:33 That's S301, not S300 actually if you look at the number plate on either side on the front of the leading S Class.
Awesome EMD sounds. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for viewing , glad you enjoyed it, there are four in the series so far , more to come
Great stuff. 1990 was not a good year for washing locomotives though.
Excellent film mate 👌
Thanks
S313! From the training video!

6 T class locomotives equal one 4500hp locomotive these days. How times have changed . . .
These were the good days
8:00 what’s the class of wagon? They look similar to grain hoppers but obviously different colour and not for grain use.
They are the VHEY class used to carry briquettes .
3:25 RAW POWER!!
