Go easy on the Endeavours. Everyone always disses them. I know they're heavy and take forever to get up to speed but the seats are really comfy and it's a nice smooth ride ....

Looking unusually shiny too !! May they rest in peace. They're currently rusting away in the Broadmeadow yards !!

Many people in the Newcastle area do refer to these sets as 'Sputniks'; that's what THEY call them. Sydney people referred to the 1950s Tulloch single-deck electric cars as 'Sputniks'. Both are correct.

Um, their not Sputniks, they are (or were as from 1pm yesterday) known as the 620/720 (six-twenty, seven-twenty) class rail motors. At one time for a while, they did have a nickname of "Slugs", of which term I don't like.
The Sputniks was the official name of the later electric Sydney red rattlers single decks.

Ah, the Sputnik. Most reliable of all trains in the entire RailCorp fleet. Lets see if the HunterCar replaces them or the lemon Endeavours.

Well photographed. Captures the fascination of the Railcar sets.

The station, yes, but it's still considered a railway location.
