- This video forms part 2 ( of 4 ) about the visit of the X2000 Tilt Train to New South Wales ( Australia ) that was brought over from Sweden in 1995 , I have my Father's permission to upload this video that he did of it's visit to Gosford showing it's "Demonstration" to the public to the North of Sydney , the train was parked on the "up main" during this "demo" & partially blocked the "down main" when the "demo" was under way & you'll get to see a glimpse of a South bound freight train returning back to Sydney from the Northern end of the yards headed by loco's 8153 & 8103 plus a shot from inside each power car , 2 XPT power cars were used to haul this set from Sydney to Canberra & return ( XP2000 & XP2019 ) however only 1 of these were used in this demo at Gosford N.S.W. but I don't know as to which power car was on the leading end of this train in this video ; My video from on board the Tilt Train to Canberra was taken on a VHS-C camera & will be uploaded as soon as I can get it transferred to digital form then part 4 will be to do with my "attempt" at modelling this train in HO scale so "stay tuned" if possible.
Part 3 is • X2000 Tilt Train journ... if you wish to see it.
Can't believe this trains will run as the main highspeed trains in Sweden into the begging of the 2040s
The swedish train company SJ Who own The trains have done The train more modern and they have done it many Times SJ X2000 is modern inside and Sweden have a high speed train named SJ X3000 The trains in sweden is modern The most of them
@@happyemoji1646 It´s not a bad thing, I live in Gothenburg so I ride with these trains sometimes. It´s just impressive.
@@happyemoji1646 They put our sad sorrowful sacks of crap to shame, our fleets should’ve been replaced in 2000 -> 2010 for The XPT & 2015 for The XPL Fleets, to see both these fleets continue to 2025, only another 15Yrs behind the expected retirement date of The X2000 TiltTrain is saying a lot...
The XPT Replacements: The CAF Civity Model will be a VERY POOR Substitute, indeed The XPT’s replacement should’ve been modelled on The X2000 TiltTrain as the baseline model...
@@Dalts1985 Also the CAF replacements have no sleeper car as far as I know so cannot compete at all with Air travel.
I don't know why they did this. It's not as if the NSW government has ever actually wanted people to use regional trains. They only exist because it's politically impossible to get rid of them. If they were faster, more people might use them, then there could be demands for more services, which would require increased subsidies.
@@AusLegoBoy I doubt most people realise the extent to which regional train services have to be subsidised.
why were the gangways removed from the XP power cars?
I feel that it was to accommodate the Swedish tilt train carriages so that they wouldn't snag when tilting into corners at high speeds but that's my guess as I do recall someone mentioning that to me some years ago.
When did they borrow the tilt train and where from?
Hi Neil , The N.S.W. railways had borrowed the Tilt Train "trial set" from the Sweedish rail people in 1995 & it was "on loan" to the N.S.W. railways ( Countrylink ) & the then N.S.W. govt to decide if they would buy a set or 2 for use on the Australian railway system , however only Queensland decided that it'd be a great addition to their fleet of trains & their design was altered just for their system from what I know of it or something along those lines.
@@Locoman3801 Queensland's electric tilts were derived from the Japan Railways Shikoku 8000 series EMU and were built in Australia (Walkers Ltd in Maryborough) in a partnership between Evans Deakin, Hitachi and Itochu. The QR tilts were already planned and in development before Countrylink's X2000 trials.
@@gregg6473 Hi Greg , thanks for that bit of info - I shall have to try to remember that as I was told it differently some years ago but I couldn't confirm if the info back then was completely correct.
what happened to the trains??
In sweden or Wales?
I think The train got back to sweden and back in service SJ X2000 is still in service but The train and The interior is diffrent and Sweden have also a train named SJ X3000 By The way X2000 and X3000 is not The real name of The trains but is called it
Great video. Are they Xplorer carriages?
Nope , these are High speed trains that were purpose built trains in Sweeden , 3 representative units were brought from Sweeden for "trials" in N.S.W. & were hauled by 2 N.S.W XPT power cars while they were here in Australia.
Locoman3801 so did they take them back
@@faizanjoyia Hi Mac Man , yes , they took them back to Denmark in Sweden by the end of 1996 where they are on a regular full train service schedule , there's quite a few videos on You Tube , just look up X2000 in Sweden / Denmark to see some other people's videos.
Not XPLorer Trains, however the XPLorer was a a fellow ABB Product & also based on a Dutch design...
