B23 Has Hit Something?

Hi everyone!

I hope you are all doing well.

It thought i‘d make a quick blog post about something I noticed on Series 2 Waratah set B23, carriage D1123.

It seems to have hit something as the skirting is now yellow like an A Set Waratah instead of the silver/grey like B Set skirting usually is at the front under the ditch lights, horn and coupler.

Anyone know what happened?

Thanks for reading folks!

Sydney’s New D Sets (NIF) Start Testing

On the night of Wednesday 8th January and morning of Thursday 9th January 2020, NIF D Set D102 set out on the first night of NIF testing between Mount Druitt and Doonside.

This video shows D102 loco hauled by SSR locomotive 44206 at Central then St Marys before we went to Mount Druitt to see D102 run under its own power for the first time on the mainline.

We also see D102 going a decent speed in the video below.

D102 was also out testing the following two nights.

The NIF (New InterCity Fleet) will replace the V Set fleet.

They will also replace the OSCar H Sets on Outer Suburban runs making the H Sets suburban trains.

Currently we have 4 NIF sets delivered.

These are sets D2, D3, D102 and D103.

Thank you for reading.
