Great stuff! Really enjoyed that thanks. I visited Australia in 2000. Went to Belair and was intrigued by the two different gauges side by side, our (Irish) gauge and the European standard (or narrow gauge as we call it!)
You were "Jonny on the spot" with that one Matt!! Great work and how come I never see things like this when I'm down there..LOL Keep them coming young man. Cheers Gregg.
I remember when the NRs were first built , 60 in Newcastle , ( where I used to live ) and 60 in Fremantle and they are still going . Out of 120 NRs , how many are left ?
Do modern trains often fail on grades? What is the cause as it seems odd that the power to weight to grade could be incorrectly calculated as I am assuming that’s what has happened?
Thanks, Raymond. A third locomotive sure would've helped on this occasion, but then we wouldn't have got to see all this excitement! Thanks again mate. Matt - M&S Trains
Is this considered slightly embarrassing, having to have someone else come fish you off a hill? Or is it just par for the course? Seems to happen fairly regularly.
Trains in the Adelaide Hills move slowly normally around 30kph on average with max speeds normally only 50-60kph due to the tight curves. The roads in the hills are speed limited between 50-80kph aswell as often taking much shorter routes than the railway as the line can only climb a certain grade while roads aren't as limited to how steep they are. This makes getting in front to refilm the same train very possible. Lots of spotters in the Adelaide Hills often chase trains sometimes seeing them as many as six times between Adelaide & Murray Bridge. Matt - M&S Trains
Wow a great collection of locos there lovely shot
Great work Matt, lots of power. I was lucky enough to catch this last night but unfortunately it was dark.

brilliant -never heard of Irish gauge -is that allover Ireland? what is the narrow gauge in Ireland?

Great video! Very interesting turn of events!
From an American. Great video
Cracking stuff, certainly was an interesting morning :)
That's an A Grade catch!
Interesting to notice the super-elevation at Belair; evidently designed for quite some speedy traffic.
I remember when the NRs were first built , 60 in Newcastle , ( where I used to live ) and 60 in Fremantle and they are still going .
Out of 120 NRs , how many are left ?
I think 3 or 4 have been written off from crashes
@@andrewtailby4364 Yes , I believe You are correct !
119 still in use. Only one scrapped, N3 renumbered as N121
awesome work again M&S Trains***********
How could NR 77 and AN 82 pull all that over those grades?
They do fine on cowan bank and its a step grade
@@andrewtailby4364 i bet not as steep as where this was?

@@MS_Trains thanks Matt! Amazing vids
Great catch. 👌😉
nice video
Well done
Great video.
Good video - well done!
Don’t know what the thinking was with trying to get 2 loco to haul that stalled train when it should have had 3 or 4. Great work🇦🇺.
Thanks, Raymond. A third locomotive sure would've helped on this occasion, but then we wouldn't have got to see all this excitement! Thanks again mate.

@@MS_Trains P P Performance on those that " plan and do the calculations"

How do you get to the different locations to fime the same train?

Awesome filming, did you use the ARTC Master Train Plan to find out the time the train went through or was this something you heard about?
good stuff.
wouldn’t be the first time NR99 and G530 are together
wink wink ;)
Was NR77 dead when the train left the station? Why pull more dead wight? Why not leave it and move it with an other power unit all my itself.
What happens just loco died or what?
I'm a retired engineer. I can tell which one is the GM engine, but what brand are the other two? What are the particulars?
@JS317Productions Thanks, I appreciate it.
