Queensland Rail - Refurbished IMU 164 Walkthrough And Ride (SMU 266 + IMU 164)

[@coldprty]

Dayum from the first 20 seconds, No spray paint, no rust, no damage. I'm impressed how they kept that one safe.

[@101TrainBusTramVlogs]

Yeah

I think that I need to go on the beenleigh line, because I only ever see videos of these units on Beenleigh/Ferny Grove services.

[@Enthusiastic-Trainspotter-BNE]

Just that what sucks is that all of their trains are non-NGR serviced, meaning any one given service could be operated by these units - like with my line, I know what time slots to go for in order to not get a NGR unit, but I think that all of them will be either operated by some EMU or 220 series with the occasional 100 or potentially 120 thrown in somewhere for good measure.

[@jasonpeisley6031]

NGR does combined to Varsity Lakes to Banoon services also, where they stop all stations 😊

[@Enthusiastic-Trainspotter-BNE]

yeah@@jasonpeisley6031 only during track closures though

[@electro_sykes]

The refurbished IMU are better. Also when the 120 getting a refresh.

[@101TrainBusTramVlogs]

Yeah, but I’m not too sure about when the IMU 120 gets a new refurb

[@AlisTransportVideos]

Nice interior.

[@triciasmith4412]

Wait, what happened to the luggage racks?

[@101TrainBusTramVlogs]

It’s probably removed

[@triciasmith4412]

@@101TrainBusTramVlogs Well, I wouldn't be surprised if they are. I've always called the 160s SMUs (thanks to their firm seats) and the removal of the luggage racks does not help make the trains IMUs. So, I do prefer the refurbed 260 over the 160 (even though it's still not as good as IMU105).

​@@triciasmith4412bro the refurb 60s are surprisingly more comfortable

[@triciasmith4412]

@@james6969 I haven't boarded a refurbed SMU 60 (even though I want to), but what I do know is that the unrefurbed 160 is uncomfortable and the refurbed 160 is missing the luggage racks. For me to call a train an IMU, it needs the toilet, the luggage racks and the comfortable seating.

[@Tpbusandtrainguy]

Tbh, I think the unrefurb is better.

[@WhitBoards]

aint no. way

[@james6969]

I highly disagree refurbs have better layout surprisngly more comfortable seats
