I build model trains and these videos are a great reference for planning scenery! And really cool to watch, thanks for taking the effort to post these 😉

Mate and I were in Melbourne the other week and saw these floating around Tottenam yard, then pretty sure we saw the tail end of you guys as we were driving up to Shepp to the car museum!

I always love seeing SSR's vintage locos. Especially the S series. So a "spoil" wagon.. is that just a specifically weighted car to put a lot of force down to seat the ties and ballast? Looks like some nice smooth rail! Very cool to see that you guys use mostly concrete ties on the main lines these days. Most of the mains here in the states are still using wood. Most of the northeast corridor commuter rail is concrete, though, for the high speed Amtrak trains.

Spoil bins take ballast, Sleepers and mud. On this run they were filled with ballast to increase the overall weight.

Going to be a nice fast trip to Melbourne once the upgrades have been done and PT-V can get their fast commuter trains running there. Fun ride for the trailing crew.

Great video and music. Next time maybe you couldplay Little River Band. The view from a train always seems different than the same area from car or on foot. I just love the different landscapes of Austrailia. Thanks again.

How many of these video's have been shot on your HC-X1500 camera?

The last one was the South Australia trip away. The rest have been phone or gopro. But it might be coming with me to work soon.

I drive tanker trucks at the moment. I saw pacific national had a trainee program, it looked interesting enough and would like to try something different. What do you think, silly idea?

I have no idea. Buts another 5k for another one when there's money to throw away it seems.

Who is the genius who decided level crossings should be dual gauge while everywhere else has single gauge concrete sleepers? Give that person a promotion, that's excellence in cost management! 🤔

Don't even start me.. So much money wasted

@nick-mt2oe 7 ай бұрын

@@AUSSIETRAINDRIVER In your opinion, where do you think money was wasted? what could've been done better? wouldn't it have made sense to gauge convert it now with all the disruptions that were required and all the money spent? The conversion is already happening slowly, slowly with lines around Victoria

@AUSSIETRAINDRIVER 7 ай бұрын

@@nick-mt2oe they put Single gauge concrete sleepers in so the prospect of these lines becoming standard gauge has gotten a step further away in my opinion. New design rules state new level crossings must have broad and standard for future conversion, but the every line would have to have every sleeper removed and replaced with SG sleepers now. So I can't see any other broad Gauge line becoming SG any time soon.
