History of Sydney Trains: "Sydney's Trains" 7 NEWS 21/6/2014 Flashback Report

[@leokimvideo]

i loved the red rattlers, they had a smell and character like no other suburban train not keen on the idea of driverless trains

[@brettonwoods9856]

+tobagotb10 They also had really noisy cooling fans; or am I confusing them with something else?

[@IZProJects]

+leokimvideo my dad rode on the rr when he was little and in his 20s!

[@shawndalla-vecchia3745]

leokimvideo I think the same

[@AussieGunzel]

Same here, driverless trains are more dangerous like not stopping if there's something on the line.

[@nicholetheotter1957]

leokimvideo I see you share my concerns when it comes to Sydney Metro.

[@ObsessedwithTrains]

I love the 3801 steam locomotives. I think most other rail fans would like them too.

[@ObsessedwithTrains]

So there still is one

[@ObsessedwithTrains]

WAT NOOOO

[@zeusmojo9301]

Those lazy afternoons traveling at sunset going home on a red rattler looking out the windows at the twinkle of house lights as the sound of the clunk a clunk coming from those metal wheels along with that unforgettable squealing brake noise they use to make. It was so long ago at a time so different .

We definitely will need a flashback when the Zig-Zag railway comes back....hopefully by years end or mid-next year

[@chris-cs8et]

From Sydney CBD to Greater Paramatta all through a steam train, impressive.

[@CookieGlass70]

I love the tangara trains!

[@jaitheminecraftgamer5046]

Yeah, can’t wait to go on it while COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown finishes!

[@genevieve2837]

U could open the windows and even the ones at the doors and in the summer days they used get steamy hot

[@kyankoh2991]

There was no mention of my favourite Aussie steam engine tho: 3526

[@jdouble-l19978]

3:06- Is that one of nadnerbster r's timelapse videos? The music I heard sounds familiar and that section, too. How did Channel 7 get that part of the video on news?

[@AinslieYuunYii]

Definitely one of nadnerbster r 's videos. They probably just downloaded it off KZbin.

[@SydneyTrainsOnLocation]

yep i picke dup on that to

[@theytwatcher950]

My dad used to remember going on the Red Rattlers

[@joaquinanimations8786]

[@LittleLachie]

[@jamesdavidson6919]

[@jdouble-l19978]

What do you mean?

[@lundsweden]

This news report is totally scattered and disjointed... but some good bits in here like the videos of old steam trains and red rattlers.

[@TRtraybloxeey]

So basically the Sydney network trains are designed a little something like this: D sets are based off the B sets which are based off of the A sets which are based off of the H sets which are based off of the T sets which are based off of the V sets which are based off of the S sets which are based off of the K sets which are based off of the C sets which are based off of the U sets which are based off of the F sets.

[@aussiejohn5835]

You missed the Usets.

[@TRtraybloxeey]

@@aussiejohn5835 lemme add that in

[@aussiejohn5835]

@@TRtraybloxeey 👍👍👍👍👍

[@nswtransportfilms]

Actually, the D, B, A, H & J Sets were based off M Sets, M Sets were (probably) based off of T Sets and the Tangara was a COMPLETELY NEW design, C Sets were based off K Sets, being fitted with selected modifications, K Sets were based off of S Sets and The Mk 1 Comeng cars were loosely based off of the V Sets

[@scottleft3672]

and the smell.....red rattlers stank like.....the city circle....asbestos brakes burning oil and zinc....mmmmm memories.....ker-clack ka-clack.....ker-clack ka-clack...lol....those wide open doors we all stood at... the "woooosh!" around wynyard was worth it.

[@kfcwickedwings]

Do the v sets have abestos brakes

[@DavidREllisAZ]

Even with the old red rattlers, with open doors, never heard of graffiti on them, or anyone falling out, and I stood many a time right at the open door as they flew along. No problems, safer than today, because it's not the trains that get you hurt today, it's the odd idiot that rides them.

3801 is the QUEEN not king

Hasn't Geoff Moss put on the years eh!

Used to be afraid of the red trains

[@jaitheminecraftgamer5046]

Finally, you didn’t get scared anymore. They ended 28 years ago
