@Lurch125 Loved the class 43's jet takeoff sound from the napiers on the Valenta engines but you can't have that noise forever times move on. Class 43 Valenta V12's with the huge turbocharger were replaced with German MTU V16 engines which have 8 turbo's (one turbo for every 2 cylinders).

@signaller44 Even on the waratah train they invested on that could of gone for new xpt loco.

@signaller44 Same goes about them C sets! Cityrail announces it will be off the rail at the end of 2010.
I dont understand why they would spend money on designing a new Hunter car when that could of been on redesigned XPT.

XPTs are the best.

1982 is not old! we use trains from 1976 which are our HST's and theyve been refurbished a few times, some freight locomotives like the class 37 which were built in 1960 ish

Nah just get rid of the Valenta's from the XPT fleet and fit ALCo prime movers in them, mind you the XPT's blow enough smoke now but just imagine an ALCO donk in them, hmmmm a 44 class in discuise

British HSTs have new engins now which is a shame but just as fast, but people do miss the screams bing the Valenta back! and They are soon to be replaced :(
Our XPT's are crap, they have seen many refurbishments etc... and honestly are past their used by date seeing they came out about 1982 and ifd the whole fleet shit itself 2morrow Countrylink has nothing but buses to back them up with says alot in how our Railways have the lack of knwoledge to plan ahead
