I remember catching these in the early 80s when 8 was a little kid. I thought they looked like spaceships with that raised pod. They had a long service life!
The last 2000 class train to run on the Noarlunga line was a 6 car set empty movement to Adelaide new years day January 2013. (Jumbos were limited to 6 cars, that was the maximum length possible).
The 3000s sound nice at least, probably since I’m so used to their sounds lol. Anyways, they’re basically diesel Comengs and I do agree that they’re a bit boring, I moved to Australia just before the Jumbos were retired so I never got to ride one. I immediately will once SteamRanger get their Jumbo up and running!
They do not look like Vlocities at all apart from the corrugated metal lots of Aussie trains have. I personally think they look more like a 747-Amfleet hybrid!
lol the person at 11:09 at the top of the bridge on the left side trying to brush all the black diesel smoke away
Great footage!
Thanks 😁

awesome how unique it looks
i never actually noticed but they have handrails on the doors unlike the crappy 4000 ones
I remember catching jumbos in the late 90s. They had character compared to the newer 3000s which were kinda boring

I like the 2000 class much better than the 4000 Class
I did not know the diesel train operatie did know how to say it but. I did not know that old trains run on the Noarlunga ling extend to seaford line😂
RIP to jumbo 2009
Why do the sides like vline vlocities

They kinda look like SPV-2000
Yep the design was inspired by the SPV 2000. Perhaps the reason the jumbos were the 2000 class as well.
