The Tangara was indeed, far ahead of it’s time. It gained a bit of attention from overseas railway users and Enthusiasts. It was a train that was from the year 2000 but built in 1989, and throughout the 90’s definitely had influence on other australian modern trains.

@Bails992 Dear God, I'm amazed that the Tangaras were a mere year behind schedule. I'm amazed they weren't three years late, twice as costly as they should have been and only half as long.

No mate. You may have seen the tilt train at the Easter Show but I remember seeing the Tangara. Though it wasn't the prototype I don't think - the one I saw was the finished product. And they had a miniature version that you rode around on.

ah yes, when a few days of a 2 car set on the same track is enough testing for a brand new computer control technology, and now we need multiple 10 car sets running tens of thousands of kilometres to test effectively the same train we already have hundreds of. (yes I know the NIFs has different dimensions to the V-Sets, but I'm just making a point).

Hehe like a love child of a k set and tangarra! Was that motor car and driving trailer or just trailer? So c sets are now all off and some k sets still in service beat the c sets on longetivity in service, especially the first batch with the driving trailers. C sets had a fresh smell inside and the arrows above the doorways which i remember on north shore line. Jm

I'm glad they went with the currant Tangara Design to me it's more appealing, although it's getting longer in the tooth (I remember seeing them in preschool since my preschool backed onto the train lines) now out of the intercity and suburbans milenium and Oscars I still prefer the Tangara (heck I'm in the process of making a 2 bedroom house outta one easy and cheap and unique) theres enough internal room to do it just over 40 metre square
@nicholetheotter19575 жыл бұрын
Adam The Aussie I’m with you. I imagine that had they picked any of those prototypes, it wouldn’t have been as cool to look at. The current design has aged very well, as it still looks indistinguishable next to newer sets like the Waratahs.

Nope I remember catching a Tangara in 88 and losing my damn mind at how cool it was. Cardboard fold up trains were given out at the 88 Royal Easter Show but I don't think I got to ride on one until some months after that.
@nicholetheotter19575 жыл бұрын
jellybean91 Correction, there were two variants of the Tangara: - T Sets, which are the standard suburban sets with fixed seating. T Sets entered service from 1988 to 1994. - G Sets, which were used on shorter intercity trips. They were later converted to T Sets due to moving to suburban duties full-time after the OSCAR H Set introduction. G Sets entered service from 1994 to 1995.

Dalts1985 What they meant was that this train, now dubbed as the C Set, was the first Sydney train to use a thyristor motor, also known as “chopper control”. This type of motor allowed for smoother acceleration. The C Sets were made in order to accommodate the delay of the Tangara fleet. 56 C Set carriages were constructed by Goninan in Newcastle, while they were still in the process of the designing phase for the Tangaras. Goninan was awarded the contract in 1985. These C Sets were kind of considered the testing ground, as they have similar components to the Tangara, like fixed seating.
