The N class - EMD V12 645E3B
Рет қаралды 2,538
3 ай бұрынThe vline N class - a former Victorian Railways locomotive built in the mid 1980s, we're mostly used for passenger services, but are currently on lease with Freight as vline phase out locomotive Hauled passenger trains.
Here shot through charlton heading towards Wycheproof on an empty 9195 to Nullawil grain loader. In April 2024.
The Ns are fitted with a muffler, the A's have the same engine but didn't have a muffler fitted from factory, the difference is substantial!
I mounted my gopro on the roof while we were stopped at korong vale and picked it up again at crew change in Wycheproof at no point was I outside the locomotive whilst moving.
Safety is always my number one priority for myself and my crew mates.
Thabka for watching ❤️

Ah, when I was young I was scared of these beasts, because they were so loud. Now, the loudness to me is like music to my ears

Your loco roof videos are epic. Had to rewatch "ALCO 6-251B - Australian 48 class locomotive exhaust, soot & turbo spool!" between two viewing of this.

Awesome stuff. 645E3B + RS5T horn is the greatest combo! Looking forward to more N videos!

We need an hour long video of the exhaust sound of these! I remember loving these when I was little but now since I have gotten into the hobby of trains I am die hard for these things! Hmmmm if SSR fully buys these from V/Line soon they should remove the muffler which will make these sound even better.

I'll do one with the A class! It's the same engine minus the muffler.. It will be out very soon.

28 October 2018 we went by train to Wangaratta and bus to Glen Rowan. Both train legs were with 463 in charge. That was my first trip by train in Australia, later this year we are going north on the Ghan. Hi from NZ, Anthony

Nice tribute to the N. The face of the New Deal for country passengers in the early 1980s. And with the introduction of the N sets carriages was a leap forward from the trains being run with 1950s T and B class locos and 1920s W and E carriages.

Ah yes ...the old 12-645 turbo ! The only thing thats interesting about being in Queensland..LOL. The prime mover as our 2300 class on the coalies up here, and they do sound great at just about any notch setting! Always nice to hear a pair at idle outside my depot at night....as long as they get that signal so I can ....."rest" ..LOL Nice stuff and stay safe sir. Gregg.

I live near Ipswich. Often see and hear the coalies with a pair of 2300s on the head end. Learning what types of QR motive power, as I grew up living near the Ns, and G classes.

@@railtrolley The 2300's do sound and look good, and you now have them being rebuilt into 2700 class! These have the 12-645 replaced with a V8 -710 prime mover, which sound similar, but a little deeper and rougher. Cheers, Gregg.

Very unusual seeing an N class leading a freight . . . (Without stating the obvious, why don't they just build more locomotives and not have dinosaurs frequent the railways?)

Because no one wants to spend anything on broad Gauge. So at this rate the Ns should be around till the year 3079.. 😂
