V/Line Vlocity trains around Bacchus Marsh (Ballarat Line Melbourne's West)

[@jeanclaudeboutonnet]

I live in Canada and I have bought a Vlocity ho scale I enjoye this train

[@Schony747]

I think it's a comfortable ride. I model N scale. The Vlo looks great in HO.

[@christopherduffie9036]

I like the look of these trains, I have never been on one though. Such nice scenery complimented by fantastic filming. The trains look fantastic driving out there in those nice locations, a really enjoyable video to watch. Top notch video as always Brenden 👍

[@Schony747]

Thanks! You need to go for a ride even if it's only to Bacchus Marsh.

[@christopherduffie9036]

That sounds like a fun and great idea, I might have to look into the best time of day to head out. The train ride looks really fun with excellent and beautiful scenery along the way.

2 Car Vlocity? I thought they were all gone

[@Schony747]

They are all gone. The clips are from 2013 when two car vlos were still around through to 2017.

I'm only about 1km from the Wendouree station, and you'd think I'd have enough of the damn trains tooting every half hour. Great seeing the bridge near Bacchus Marsh from a different angle. Feels more like effortlessly flying over a valley when you're in the train. Great thing is, I can jump on the bike, ride 1km, and then be riding along the Yarra River an hour and a bit later. Still would have loved slightly faster trains, but given the altitude change and curves i can understand the current speed limits. Shony you know much about the issues with the wheels of the velocity trains on the Ballarat line?

[@Schony747]

I don't know much abou the wheel issues. My family live 5 minutes from Wendouree station.

[@matthewnorman9803]

I wouldn’t be surprised if metro start using vlocity trains

[@Schony747]

Where would they use them? It's highly unlikely unless they end up at Stoney Point.

[@matthewnorman9803]

Schony747 they would probably start using the vlocity trains When they open all the arbanded lines up like the south Gippsland line or something like that

[@geraldgreen5371]

I like this train set, are they available in HO scale and from whom do l purchase from

[@Schony747]

www.southernrailmodels.com.au/products/vlocity/

[@thenightraven60]

they are like an Aussie version of our Turbostars, even sound about right.

[@Schony747]

Both are built by Bombardier which will explain that. Both classes are very reliable and just do the job they are designed to do.

[@jeremynewcombe3422]

Schony747 Bombardier doesn’t let down it seems. E class tram and Vlocity are both great at their jobs.

[@ksmashgamer5748]

3:57 5 car? Wait, that’s illegal Actually though it’s good they are all 3 or 6 long

[@Schony747]

All are now 3 Car long. Originally all were delivered at 2 car sets.

[@kanazef]
