Streamliners 2022 - Celebrating old Australian diesel locomotives - Featuring Bernie Baker

[@jessb4535]

Love Australians spirit in keeping old things alive. So many people these days throw things as soon as they have a couple years on the clock.

[@mattmatty4670]

Thanks mate

[@wezza60]

Great video, was great to see CL17 fired up at Seymour rail Heritage Centre last Saturday and chat with Bernie Baker.

[@Rheilffordd]

@@wezza60 thanks for this feedback! I’m hoping Bernie and the team and appreciating the fruits of their labour!

[@DivergentRailways]

How amazing is this production creator?! Where have you been hiding all this time?!

[@Rheilffordd]

Thanks Divergent! I've also greatly enjoyed your work and photography documenting the Victorian railways! Check out the Junee video too if you haven't seen that already

[@DivergentRailways]

@@Rheilffordd I'll see if I can check it out when I'm less busy!

Great video presentation! This was the 1st time I've been to streamliners since moving to NSW in December 2021. Had a couple of fellow foamers drive from Adelaide to Hillston to pick me up, then onwards to Goulburn. Loved the display of 1/1 scale as well as the HO & 7 & 1/4. Even managed to meet the legend Bernie himself. Shame it was cancelled this year (2024). I will definitely come to the next one!

[@Rheilffordd]

@@jeremykemp5845 hey Jeremy! I hope you’re keeping well! And yes, Streamliners was an awesome event! Have a watch of our other videos as well

[@FromtheWindowSeat]

Wonderful video. Appreciate all the work that went into this. 👌 So many impressive locos! 😃

[@Rheilffordd]

Heeeyyy Adam! Thank you so much for the appreciation of the editing, and yes it took a while! I just watched your Cairns Kuranda video and as someone who hasn't actually been on it yet, it's prompted me to do the trip next time I'm up there. Thanks again! (I'll leave a comment there too just to help your stats)

Great video good models too luvved it good too see Bernie Baker again ..driver on my Riverina vintage rail trip ..2021

[@Rheilffordd]

Hi Barbara, thank you for your feedback, feel free to share the video to your friends! :)

[@michaelhall8586]

It’s great hearing the passion from the interviews

[@Rheilffordd]

Hi Michael, and thanks for the feedback! This is what this channel is about, trying to tell more of the story of our transport heritage from those involved with making it happen! Check out our other videos as well 😁

[@Dream_M1]

Awesome video. And thanks to all the great people involved in preserving these amazing locomotives 👍

[@Proper_Chuffed]

Wow mate. You nailed this, super underrated content! Thank you for sharing this, and subbed!

[@Rheilffordd]

Hey man! I’m chuffed you’ve made it across here to check out my stuff! Thanks for the feedback and look foreward to any future cross Indian Ocean alliances 😂 (If you’re into steam, check out the Newport video too!)

[@grahamfrench9874]

Thanks for your efforts on this one. Most enjoyable

[@Rheilffordd]

Hi Graham! Thanks for watching and appreciating the effort!

[@wezza60]

Great video.

[@Rheilffordd]

Thanks Wes!

[@wezza60]

​@Rheilffordd Is this a annual event??

[@Rheilffordd]

@@wezza60 Unfortunately not! The first Streamliners was held in 2016, then this event held in 2022. Organising an event like this (Particularly when a lot of it is Bernie Baker and a small team) takes ALOT of effort!

[@wezza60]

​​@Rheilffordd I'd imagine it would be, Bernie ìs a tireless advocate for the classic streamliners in active preservation, we are very lucky to have him around. I remember the late Rob Fry, a close friend and Engineman himself held Bernie in high regard😊

[@JoeHupp]

Hey buddy - I did see you there! The event was amazing

[@Rheilffordd]

Hi Joe, indeed it was, let's hope another one happens in the future!

[@davidpemberton9326]

Wow well done. I was in hospital so I couldn't attend but you made me feel like I went.

[@Rheilffordd]

Hi David, I am glad to give you the feel of this wonderful event, and hope you have since recovered!

[@markgeerin5928]

Great video love streamlines . My father was a engine drive he was lucky enough to have started on steam than moving on to diesel power from Dubbo than moved to Sydney and was based at Delec. Where he still drove steam but they were on the outer . He told me he’d rather drive diesel’s than steam and as kid I use to go to work with him on the odd accession. Before all this OHS.

[@Rheilffordd]

Thanks Mark for the feedback. Your father must be a rarity in enjoying diesel more than steam!

[@markgeerin5928]

Yes I have lots of story's about my father as a child I use to spend a lot of time in Dubbo with my grandparents so that mental lots and lots of train trips. With Dad knowing some many drivers we spent a lot of time in the cab with drivers evan in the silver city comet.

Good train video

Just like in the states

En Mexico esas locomotoras las conocemos como chatas

[@Rheilffordd]

¡Hola KCSM_1200! Cuando te refieres a 'chatas', ¿te refieres a aburridas o planas? Ojalá no quieras decir eso 😜 (When you mean 'chatas', do you mean boring or flat? Hopefully you don't mean that 😜)

[@KCSM_1200]

@@Rheilfforddlas llamamos "Chatas" por su peculiar forma de cabina que se asemeja aún bulldog o sin nariz 👃 En mexico operó muchas locomotoras de esas y eran EMD F7 y EMD FT-A; actualmente se encuentra una en servicio y está ubicado en el museo de ferrocarriles de Puebla, México 🇲🇽

[@Rheilffordd]

@@KCSM_1200 Ahora lo entiendo, y sí, México operó muchos ejemplos de locomotoras EMD como la F7, ¡y todas lucen bastante impresionantes! Otra locomotora peculiar que tuvo México fue la ALCO FA ('Locomotora Mundial'), que también se construyó en Australia bajo licencia, y era la "Clase 44" o la "Clase 930" dependiendo del operador. También como encuesta, ¿viste este video con los subtítulos traducidos automáticamente al español o lo viste en inglés? Tengo curiosidad por ver cómo los espectadores internacionales pueden ver mis vídeos. ¡Gracias por su tiempo señor! 😁 (I understand now, and yes, Mexico did operate many examples of the EMD locomotives like the F7, which all look pretty stunning! Another peculiar locomotive Mexico had was the ALCO FA ('World Locomotive'), which was also built in Australia under license as well, and was the "44 Class" or "930 Class" depending on the operator. Just as a survey as well, did you view this video with the subtitles/captions auto translated in Spanish, or did you watch it in English? I am curious to see how international viewers are able to watch my videos. Thank you for your time sir! 😁)

[@KCSM_1200]

@@Rheilffordd Si, si vi el video con subtítulos traducidos y me sirvió mucho la verdad; esta función lleva desde hace un año y me ha facilitado muchos los videos en Inglés El modelo de ALCO que hablas,la Universal, México 🇲🇽 nunca lo tuvo en su flota, lo que si tuvo es la ALCO PA-1, una locomotora legendaria que quedan muy pocas operativas en el continente Americano Otro dato curioso: Mexico y Australia son los únicos países que conservan la ALCO C628; dos se encuentran en México y uno en Australia 🇦🇺

[@Rheilffordd]

​@@KCSM_1200 ¡Ah, sí, el ALCO Century 628! Sólo un puñado de ellos se construyeron bajo licencia en Australia para un ferrocarril aislado de mineral de hierro en Australia Occidental, pero recuerdo que prevalecen en México y Estados Unidos. Uno se conserva, ¡tienes razón! ¡Gracias por ver mis videos por cierto! TODOS mis videos documentales tienen subtítulos para que puedas traducirlos automáticamente, así que échales un vistazo y espero que los disfrutes también. ¡Manténgase en contacto señor! (Ah yes the ALCO Century 628! Only a handful of these were built under license in Australia for a isolated iron ore railway in Western Australia, but I do recall they're prevalent in Mexico and the United States. One is preserved you are correct! Thank you for viewing my videos by the way! All my documentary videos have subtitles/closed captions for you to be able to Auto-Translate, so by all means have a watch of them and I hope you enjoy them too! Stay in touch sir!)

[@emdB67]

2 oars + 4 oars = 6 oars. That was of course an Oar sum. Like this video. ;-)

[@Rheilffordd]

Thanks EMD B67! I suspect this video would have been right up your alley. Rowing is also a great sport.... truly oar-inspiring.

[@emdB67]

@@Rheilffordd With your multifaceted transportational interests, I figured my word-play didn't need to be confined to only ferroequinological terms. ;-)

[@RailfanDownunder]

Just a pity that there was no A class

[@Rheilffordd]

Although A Classes are indeed streamlined locomotives…. how do you suggest they get one to Goulburn? Abit of a track gauge problem there 😜

[@RailfanDownunder]

@@Rheilffordd several are now preserved and like the B and S class can take SG bogies - though due to emissions legislation, an A would have to be dead attached .... Nevertheless would complete the collection if it could be done!
