    What I loved about the old red rattlers is that all the support poles and handrails were made of brass,which got a beautiful yellow polished finish where people’s hands gripped them or their clothes rubbed them,now it’s all stainless steel so it’s not the same

    Thanks for this great video of the old Red with the K Set. I still remember when they were building the Red Double Deckers at Rhodes as we passed on our way into the city for work, many times. Well done!

    Is that a SECOND red rattler at 1:27, you guys have MULTIPLE functioning historical examples of trains?! That's amazing, here we have zero mainline-certified heritage trains (atleast none that can run with passengers).

    • @coolsoap8

      The red rattler that the K set is coupling to isn't operational at the moment, hence why it was being towed. The K sets aren't heritage, all 40 are still in service in weekday peak hour. The one that is being towed is under restoration and should be operation soon, if they haven't restored it already. Hopefully you guys get a heritage train for your railway. Thanks.

      They were good trains, anything that was locally built is something I like. I’ve had enough of these made in China and Korea trains that are full of defects. This is why I don’t like liberals

    AAAARGH! "Red Rattler" is a very Melbourne expression never used in Sydney until it has wrongly crept into use in Sydney long after the event!!

    • @coolsoap8
      @coolsoap8  6 месяцев назад

      It’s not “never used” in Sydney, it’s widely used by Sydneysiders to refer to our old Single Deck suburbans. Yes the term originated in Melbourne, but don’t chuck a tantrum just because the expression made its way to Sydney.

      @coolsoap8  5 месяцев назад +1

      Double deck carriages haven’t been seen coupled to single deck carriages since the 1990s, and the two train types coupling in this video never worked in the same consist, making this an extremely rare one-off coupling.
