C set: You Tangara: The guy she tells you not to worry about
-
2021, and now all the C sets are being scrapped/taken out of passenger service
-
God bless this 240P video.
-
My opinion the design of the tangarra i think is ahead of its time
-
At the end, I was waiting for "David Jones, 7 News." Lol! It got cut off!
-
@Bails992 Dear God, I'm amazed that the Tangaras were a mere year behind schedule. I'm amazed they weren't three years late, twice as costly as they should have been and only half as long.
-
Was that a monorail design I saw? For a C set too! Wow! Imagine that actually on the C set today!
-
That's what they thought tangaras would look like lol .
-
the reason it looks like a k set is there is no fibre glass classy scoop
-
Looking at those Tangara prototypes... thank god they didn’t approve those!
-
No mate. You may have seen the tilt train at the Easter Show but I remember seeing the Tangara. Though it wasn't the prototype I don't think - the one I saw was the finished product. And they had a miniature version that you rode around on.
-
Very nice video, good to keep the history of C sets alive
-
Hmm .. 1986 ... how many VK Commodores are still out there as daily drivers?.....
-
Oh yeah, they used chopper thyristor controlled motors, Vs the clunky camshaft resistor bank controlled ones, they didn't jolt violently because of that
-
And the train with a brain is now gone... If that's the case, I fear the future of Sydney Trains.
-
the color of front is still used in v-sets?
-
@Bails992 These were the best colours... State Rail Red, Yellow and Orange.
-
Hehe like a love child of a k set and tangarra! Was that motor car and driving trailer or just trailer? So c sets are now all off and some k sets still in service beat the c sets on longetivity in service, especially the first batch with the driving trailers. C sets had a fresh smell inside and the arrows above the doorways which i remember on north shore line. Jm

@XboxJT1 How do you do that exactly?
-
ah yes, when a few days of a 2 car set on the same track is enough testing for a brand new computer control technology, and now we need multiple 10 car sets running tens of thousands of kilometres to test effectively the same train we already have hundreds of. (yes I know the NIFs has different dimensions to the V-Sets, but I'm just making a point).
