Can you please record either an SMU 260 or IMU 160 all the way to Shorncliffe

I've been obsessed with the traction motors sounds. Idk why

The doors opening sound is terrible. RIIIIIII RUUUUUU RIIII RUUUH.

This’d be perfect is it had a ZF Ecomat in it

Doesn't look like the 550 to me - 4:00 looks more like Silverwater Road so I reckon it's a 524.

This buses are super powerful!

Very enthusing!

Clearly sounds identical to the O405NH

1:00

0:13

Transperth also operates the 0405NH buses during rail shutdowns! (because of the shutdown of the armadale/thornlie line they are operating regularly until mid 2025)

Omg I love those EMU trains better than the NGR's. The amount of times I see an NGR pull up whenever I want to go somewhere. Bring the EMU's back.

Excellent video, likes from me !

Crazy ZF Sounding and Kickdowns

Coming soon to Melbourne on broad gauge as X'Trapolis 2.0 being built in Ballarat.

Compare this with the archaic Sydney suburban network. Yes the Sydney metro is quick but the rest of thexheavy rail network is a joke. An electric train should accelerate and de accelerate very quick like the WA network and of course the London underground etc.

You might wanna look away from the articulated section if you can't stand things not being symmetrical...

Sound just like our EMUs in Brisbane

I love how coach seats were fitted in this bus, I want to do this if I get an NH but renovate the whole interior. Also, that single door conversion, I love it!

Train motor sounds a bit different to other c series trains

🚅 don't you all enjoy railroad 🚈 trams, trains etc are just so cool 🚞 take a ride in my ''transportation'' folder, (folder 4) :)

Sounds exactly like a Scania K280UB, with the same configurations

I'm gonna miss these terribly when they are gone. I grew up with this sound. Surprisingly they are more comfortable than new NGR sets

crazy to think the d2566 muh has the same output power as a 3800 ecotec!

I guess both of you still insist you hate Voiths!

also is warnbro your local station it is mine

lucky for the horn

Nice unit! Are they still selling them? 😮

Gotta love the kickdown

0:08 *sheep noises*

Did you manage to get all 48 before the line shut?

bro got that horn wtf ur so lucky 🤩🤩

Nice fast O500 that is, Great Video! but i wonder what happened after the video ended.

Been on this bus. Love this old girl. That idle is surging, a normal phenomenon in these and I love it.

Built in playlist.

Is it possible for this bus to return to service?

172 outbound

Nice Voith, pity it's got the shorter diff ratio that is particularly detrimental to performance on more challenging topography... Needs to rev way harder in first than it is.

Can you please record the EMU train from Milton to Bowen hills and back to Milton and can you please Record the EMU train from Park Road to Bowen Hills and back to Park Road

Sounds like a different door operator to the QLD Optimus buses, sounds more like the bustech ones with the whistling sound.

Wonder how much longer these have left, some of them still look pretty good inside such as this one.

i miss these gto inverters, pure swiss engineering, the last ones are on the re 465 and dbag 101 i think.

This bus was scrapped :(

Absolute quality vehicle.

Did anybody notice the bottle hit the train

That is one slow tickover, you can count the cylinders. Old engines always sound like they promise more than they give. 11 tonnes without 300 hp, you certainly didnt want to be in a hurry. It was definitely a time to savour the journey on these magnificent beasts rather than the destination. We had Bristol Lodekkas when I was a youngster none of this new fangled pre selector just muscles and a big crash to change gears😂

So one of 3001 siblings but in the right spot

The horn sounds quite interesting, and it appears to have diesel loco style ditch lights to go along with it
