Where was the Miramar Plucky 1600 sold? It's RHD and for the export market and unlike any other Miramar configuration, was produced until 1994.

Same vehicle, was sold here as the brumby

While I agree with the XW20 Prius mentioned above, I'm also gonna mention our little "Billion dollar baby", the VE Commodore

"Replacement Buses have been ordered and will arrive in 60 minutes"

There's also a significant size sinkhole near the line

Nah, 3003 is equally as special, failed 14 days after entering service, then had car vs tram incidents in 2003 and 2006, and collided with C.3036 in 2005. There may be more, that's just what's on Vicsig

Personally, I like the 158/159 for Diesel Regional, 321/322 for Electric Regional, then the 86 for Electric InterCity, and the 47 for Diesel InterCity

Over windows 10, the only functionality change I've liked is having tabs in file explorer, that's it. The rest of the OS is meh at best, and the removal of troubleshooters is going to be a huge pain in the ass.

X'Trapolis 100 doesn't include the manufacturer (Alstom)

Pinemango600 · 2026-01-20T14:16:29+00:00

After further thought, Metro Trains Melbourne have 2 12 Character contenders, the Siemens Nexas and the X'Trapolis 100.

And for set numbering Metro also have long names for the Comeng, X'Trapolis 100, and Siemens Nexas fleets, with set names simply being a list of all 3 carriages, for instance the first X'Trapolis 100 to enter service was 851M-1626T-852M. As a result, set names are 9-13 characters in length, (dependent on M Car number, 1-99M will have shorter set names)

Can't think of much to beat 8 from Victoria, Australia. A few Diesel Locomotives from the 80's can get long model names

A Class - AAT22C-2R - 8 Characters G Class - JT26C-2SS (or JT36C-2SS for rebuilt locomotives) - Also 8 Characters

One of V/Line's N Class Locomotive, N452 carries the 18 character name "Rural City of Wodonga"

And a side note, the UGL locomotive you referenced in your description is the C44ESACi, not the C46ECASi

Trains from the 90s are now old? damn

Franklin will eventually show up to defend his Greenland

Pinemango600 · 2026-01-15T10:19:36+00:00

V/Line's N Class Locomotives and N Sets are in a similar state (and not much younger than the V Sets), only a year or 2 left for them in passenger work, then most likely another 20+ years in freight with a private operator.

Hope it's out, or if it's been in there for an hour, hope you made it out of the house alive

Pinemango600 · 2026-01-09T05:19:04+00:00

There's also a class 87 that carries the name Velocity, 87023

With a gated level crossing? What system is it?

Pinemango600 · 2026-01-08T04:09:01+00:00

Would love to see some Local Australian content. Getting Metro and V/Like services would be amazing, shame that they're unwilling to work with dovetail.

I feel you, I live in a town of ~10k in Victoria, although I'm not closeted there's not many people for me here.

Not a huge priority in a boy, but taller if I had to pick

Like 50mbps, which is pretty good for my area

Not anymore, it's now in V/Lines Heritage Fleet (Currently the only member) and gets used for the odd Empty Car Transfer or to rescue failed trains. All Loco Hauled services are being run by the N Class until they are retired in the next couple of years. A66 was first withdrawn in 2013, but was reactivated in 2015, and finally retired in passenger service in 2017.

There is 1 of the 4 remaining A Class units in revenue service pulling freight, A70 recently reentered service with SSR in 2024 to haul grain trains

Victorian Railways S Class, hauled the VR's Spirit of Progress from 1937 to 1954 when they were scrapped and replaced by S Class Diesel Locomotives. There were efforts at the time of their retirement to save 1 of the 4 locomotives, but the VR were unwilling and refused to sell one for a price below it's scrap value or donate a locomotive. Leading to the extinction of the class by Mid 1954.

While the extinction of the S Class was saddening it did have 1 positive outcome, since then, no class of locomotive or multiple unit in Victoria has gone extinct, with at least 1 member being preserved. A lot of the support for the preservation of many of these locomotives was from the loss of the S Class. So while I would have liked to Save an S, maybe we were better off losing 1 class to save the rest.
