After the day the DM Class arrived, i was intrigued by the size and the look of them, these are Impressive Locomotives. The DM Class Has A C 175, 16 Cylinder, 3000 Kilowatt, 4000 Horsepower Caterpillar Diesel Engine. It will be sad, to see the Dx class phased out I hope a few will be saved for preservation. the Dx's have done very well since 1975 and being in service for almost 56 years pulling...

    Some nice looking locomotives, with very good specifications, arguably the best new rail traction in NZ since the DX's arrived however many years ago that was. More than 10 years ago I used to commute from Ellerslie into the the city and back and sometimes they had old Silver Fern rail cars on that service, they had Caterpillar engines and while they were long past the point where they needed some new rings, they still ran really smoothly. All those many years later they were still providing good service. I rode those cars when they were on and did so with some pride, as my uncle had some significant part in their specification and procurement, while he was long gone, those Silver Fern rail cars were still rolling. I'm sure he would have liked that.

  • @badenmelhuish3215
    @badenmelhuish3215 День назад

    Seems to be a bit math's that's gone wrong. If the DX's came into service in 1975, next year (2025) they will have been in service for 50 years not 56! Also, two prototypes and 55 more to come gives a total 57. However, 46 for the South island, and 19 for the North island makes a total of 65!! Are we missing eight units? At the start of WW2, ten railcars were ordered for the South island but only nine got here. The tenth, was sunk by a U-boat! I hope the missing eight DM aren't going that way! Cheers from a South Islander.

      @danieleyre8913 13 дней назад

      @@simonwood6932 Locomotives could definitely be made in NZ at Hillside. Although at this stage; it would take some investment in money and time to train up a skilled labour force. When Kiwirail ordered these in 2019-2020; they needed them ASAP, so clearly building them in NZ was not an option. The Labour government in 2008 were intending to build a class called the DK’s at Hillside, when they still had the workforce there, and even had designs finalised. But with the change of government; the National party decided that they would not much fund the recently formed Kiwirail, and instead bought a similar design, the DL’s from thr Dailan plant in China. We all know how that worked-out…

    The irony of seeing these in this shot under the powerlines in the background ! Why on earth they never electrified at the very least the main north line after the Kaikoura earthquakes is beyond me they then could have looked at the "Eurodual" locomotives as an option. I suppose at least they are finally upgrading the fleet to something modern.

    • @simonwood6932
      @simonwood6932 13 дней назад

      Not enough trains per day to justify the cost of building and maintaining the electrification infrastructure

    • @danieleyre8913
      @danieleyre8913 13 дней назад

      The fact that installing electrification would be horrendously expensive is why on earth, along with the fact that the line has very low traffic and no long stretches of steep gradient to justify electrification is why on earth. So it would never pay itself off is why on earth. And overhead electrical supply requires ongoing maintenance is why on earth. There are many many better things than railway funding could be spent on (such as these very locomotives) is why on earth.

    • @alanb9337
      @alanb9337 13 дней назад

      How much would it cost to get NZ rail lines up to the standard to match the higher overseas' rail line axle load ratings? The EuroDual locomotive's axle load starts from 19 metric tonnes through to 21 metric tonnes (Total locomotive weight is 114 to 126 metric tonnes). Most of NZ's rail lines are rated for a maximum axle load of 18 metric tonnes (some branch lines less) so the EuroDual locomotive for NZ might require a non-standard 7 axle setup or 8 axle (use 4 x 2 axle drives) or carrying electrical equipment in an 'electrical energy storage/ battery' wagon like Aurizon are developing in Australia, though lithium could cause problems. The DM locomotive blurb sheet has "<108 ton" for 6 axles. Fortescue Mining etc has rail line in Australia rated at a 40 tonne maximum axle load.

    • @danieleyre8913
      @danieleyre8913 13 дней назад

      @ I expect it would cost hundreds of millions. How about worry about getting rail traffic higher again to justify such an upgrade? And why bother with dual locomotives when only some of the NIMT is electrified? The way things are going; there’s going to be more locomotives than what is needed. NZ’s rail network is highly under-utilised and nowhere near its capacity. The only busy line is the ECMT, and even then; most of it is single track. So much more freight in NZ could be shifted by railways, and NZ’s manufacturing and processing is struggling due to high electricity prices.

    Should be called the DK class. We seem to have missed that letter, we had a DJ many years ago, pups compared to these things, then a DL, now a DM but not DK. I think DK was going to be a prototype 2 cab DXR type rebuild that never got off the ground from a previous owner of the system that was all manipulation and no invigoration. Would be a nice gesture to the K class pioneer steam loco so many years ago. Then at the time that was a breakthrough in technology, power, and size/tractive effort for NZ. These locos will be the same.

    •  13 дней назад

      I thought that "DK" was the class that was designed around 2007-8 and which were going to be built at Hillside, but were cancelled by the incoming national government at the end of 2008, who instead opted to have a similar design imported from the Dailan factory in China for less money and time (the DL's).
