The DM Class A Close Look

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...

12/10/2024 Today The Model Train Show At Cowles Stadium. My Favorites, being the Dx's 5304 5520 With DCC Sound they sounded terrific. I enjoyed the two detailed parts On Oaro. Mainly The New Zealand based layouts were my favorite, showing a beautiful amount of Detailed New Zealand Scenery, And Many Places That I have familiarized myself with throughout New Zealand. I Tried Very Hard To Recreate...

Ja 1271 Steam Power On The Move Kaikoura To Blenheim !
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.
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.
This video needed commentary.
Clack valves be a clacking 😊
0:02 sounded like the TARDIS starting up at first.
Muy buen video Excelente estimado amigo increíble 😮 captura 👏🏻 un saludo 👋🏻
👍 from Swiss (Stadler)
Interesting that they are Stadler locomotives but have Caterpillar prime movers. The same Caterpillar that owns Progress Rail/EMD. It's a shame they didn't buy Progress Rail locomotives.
hi caleb.looking for a still shot of dxc5264 or it's original number dx2624.was a driver in Palmerston north in late 1970s when we derailed on that locomotive.hoping to make it to chch before they are scrapped.cheers.peter barrett.
Great more dirty diesel trains New Zealand really are moving backwards in time !!
Diesel is perfectly fine.
Sounds like 7FDL16 ❤
Love the comically small side windows in the cabs. Very aesthetic loco though
Surprising that these haven't been given some silly maori names.
The DMs are now in testing for Kiwirail. They look epic. However their horn is a little off for a New Zealand locomotive. These two are fresh from Spain.
Would love to own a DX or two exactly like these two. They're awesome!
@fortress8155 I do know this and will get around to it when I do.
It's really a mind-blowing freight train presentation !! Greetings from India.
The Kaikoura bridge 😍
Where were the new locos built?
Stadler Valencia (Formerly Vossloh) in Spain. The engines are Caterpillar C175s, built in I think Indiana.
These are European locomotives from Stadler. They kinda look like dog bones though
Man, those things are UGLY! At least they haven’t broken down…yet.
When they crash into something, the guys have a front row seat to the action; no protection with glass. 😎
They have a reinforced outer shell any impact they will be fine 😃
I hope they put these new locos under the wires to see what they can do. It's funny to see them without bumpers and with knuckle couplers.
They've got tinny horns. Just those horrible Chinese thingies.
Business like and good looking. A pity they weren’t made in NZ. Still thats our successive Governments since 1984. Promise jobs then send all the contracts overseas. 😢
Mainline diesel locomotives have never been built in New Zealand. KiwiRail does not have the capability or capacity to design and build locomotives such as the DMs economically or in a reasonable timeframe
@@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…
What an exciting development this is.
That is just a depot horn, surely.
Do these engines use def fluid as well being European origins
Those DMs are HUGE. Even longer than the EFs!
Nice vid. The DX's have been stunning for 50+years but yeah time for some new stuff. These locos look the biz.
What were those sounds at 3:35 mate?? Having a bit of fun?
@@liftslayhater01 Just excited because i was first to witness The Dm's moving under their own power and hearing the horn for the first time
@@NZRT5068 Were ya having a wank mate?
@@NZRT5068 If you're not a little bit excited you're watching the wrong video ;-)
@@alex97594 obsessed with trains i get excited very easily sometimes yelling at the top of my lungs at the sight of a train 😃😃😃😃 i try to contain my excitement when filming every train
I heard they are headed for Ōtira for tunnel trials.
It is Dxc 5391 but it shows as dm but it not even the dm loco
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.
Not enough trains per day to justify the cost of building and maintaining the electrification infrastructure
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.
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.
@ 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.
The horn sounds a bit soft. Needs some grunt, unless it was just the 'peep' button and not the full blast. The engines sound quiet though. May differ with a 2000+ tonne train in tow though.
They are ero locos they sound polite. Hopefully they will get a more bullsy horn upgrade
I don't understand why they can't just be fitted with Leslie horns like the existing GM locos. AFAIK they are still being made, and if not those then Nathan who are the world's largest locomotive air horn manufacturer.
KiwiRail might have to sort out the horn, it doesn’t sound like what motorists and pedestrians expect!
Hopefully they dont replace the two DXR locos, they are one of my favorites. 2:51 horn sound
now it feels like we're getting somewhere
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.
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).
Thanks for video- gives a reminder of a wonderful rail heritage and what NZ has lost, but what still could be with 21st Century rail technologies of which progressive countries are adopting ,modernising and building. (The age of motorway/highway madness and liabilities of total road dependency lies in the 1950’s to which NZ has regressed in 2024). Railways are the past and very importantly, the FUTURE!
Those engines and rolling stock were immaculately presented! Obviously some serious effort put in by the cleaners.
Thank you for that video. I was unaware there was to be an opening/ running day, so this has compensated. I hope the weather improved over the weekend, and that better attendance was obtained.
Muy buen video Excelente 😊
Muy buen video Excelente estimado amigo Like 👍🏻 merecido 😊 un saludo 👋🏻 desde Argentina 🇦🇷 mi apoyo suscribete 👍🏻
Stadler enters yet another country
Am I mistaken or were some of these guys speaking Italian? Stadler staff, perhaps?
@@PeterHendricks59 They’re speaking Catalan. The locomotives are from Valencia Spain.
They look great. I wish New Zealand would invest more in its railways.
@@goarmysleepinthemud. We do when we don’t vote in governments with clowns like Simeon Brown.
Don't we all? I also wish that more customers would use Kiwirail to shift their freight. And that Kiwirail would make more effort to offer their services.
what a waste of time ,told us jack shit!!!!
I guess DXrs 8007 and 8022 will be the first to get scrapped as DMs come online
everytime I travel overseas I try and work in a rail journey or two and when I come home its appalling how ancient our locomotives are in comparison to Europe and even the UK which is pretty dated in parts...
NZ isn’t that wealthy a country and doesn’t have a very big population nor economy. If there’s anything to be appalled over; it’s that.
So whats the details???
Terrible video
Kiwirail need more to replace the vintage DL locomotives
Lmao what
