As a kid waiting for a train for school excershion with the other school kids and our teacher would say which train is coming redhen or jumbo it was like lotto miss them days but i have to get down that museum soon this year😃👍

Caught one of these to school every day for ten years....then on a weekend throw bikes and surfboards in the baggage compartment....big part of my youth in the mid 70s/80s..thanks for posting 👍

[@AM22trainsandthings]

Wonderful memories for you and many others also have a special place in their hearts for the RedHens- so many stories and a big part of South Australians lives back then. Have a great day!

As a child, I loved a school holiday trip in a Redhen, from Adelaide to Bridgewater. Hoping the front seat next to the driver was empty, so I could look out the front window all the way.

[@AM22trainsandthings]

Lovely memories and a nice trip we can't take anymore sadly. Thankyou

[@danielboone3770]

Awesome railcars!

[@AM22trainsandthings]

Yes they are!

[@austinperrott6997]

Awesome video! Great job. Invokes such a lot of memories. Often head down to Goolwa with my grandson just to get my fix of the Red Hens.

[@AM22trainsandthings]

Yes it's a wonderful heritage railway and the RedHens are verey special to South Australians!

[@cat793cdumpy]

As a kid I did hundreds of trips in these and a few with RX and F class before they were taken out of service.

[@AM22trainsandthings]

Everyone has a story to tell about them in Adelaide-they are treasures indeed-a bit hot maybe but a very special part of our past!

[@MarkHenstridge]

Brings back a lot of memories, I miss them all including the Brills and Bluebirds.

[@AM22trainsandthings]

I know-a lot of history there! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@cat793cdumpy]

@@AM22trainsandthings I never went in a Brill or the Bluebird.

@@cat793cdumpy Did you see them at the Museum or the Brill on SteamRanger?

[@cat793cdumpy]

@@AM22trainsandthings I left SA 30 years ago . I used to go with my father to a place that had a lot of loco's waiting for the scrapper, but I can not remember where that was. This was way before the historical society at Port Adelaide. I think it was at Mile End. It maybe there I was a Brill but I have never travelled on one.

[@AM22trainsandthings]

@@cat793cdumpy The previous site of the Railway Museum was at Railway Terrace, Mile End. SteamRanger Heritage Railway operatred the Brill on the Cockle Train and I hope it does again soon!

Does anyone have a photo of Munno Para train station from the 80's or 90's?

[@AM22trainsandthings]

I'm sorry I don't as I don't live up that way. Maybe some of my subscribers can help you?

@@AM22trainsandthings That's fine, I knew it was a long shot but you never know. :)

[@man.i.literally.failed6772]

started high school in 1994, had these for 2 years, so lucky enough to have been in one, these trains always had a smell of urine, graffiti remover and disinfectant 😁, having us all packed in with the door open wasn't the best idea either

[@AM22trainsandthings]

They are heritage treasures now!

[@Silvio.S.Arruda0044]

Excellent video congratulations

[@AM22trainsandthings]

Many thanks Silvio, not many trains to share because I have been sick so some old footage and friends photos did the trick! Have a great Sunday!

I think I might have taken some pictures of the Red Hens on my Box Brownie! I might get them scanned, would you like to see them?

[@AM22trainsandthings]

Yes please that would be wonderful!

[@OlidoesFoto]

@@AM22trainsandthings great! How would you like me to send them to you once I get them scanned?

[@OlidoesFoto]

@@AM22trainsandthings How would you like me to send the photos? I’m going to get them scanned Tuesday.

[@AM22trainsandthings]

@@OlidoesFoto I'll think about it and let you know

@@AM22trainsandthings ok!

[@TrainsWithCal]

In the first photo with the jumbo and red hen do you know why the are painted in red white and blue

[@AM22trainsandthings]

They belonged to The Yorke Peninsula Tourist Railway and that was their colours but they have since closed. the one that you think is a Jumbo is a SuperChook- a modified RedHen.

[@aussie_trainspotting_videos]

@@AM22trainsandthings do you know if they've been scrapped or are held privately?
