When in tune it plays a perfect 4th. Unfortunately none of our Australian horns are reliable. RVB’s and Wabco A B’s have developed an infinite amount of dialects.
The Locos are NSWGR 45 & 44 Class. Hauling the Southern Aurora, which used to be a Daily Train that ran between Melbourne & Sydney. The service no longer runs having stopped in the late 80s. It now only runs once or twice a year for special events.
What a nice variety of horns. 0:57 is that X37? Because i heard it got preserved in 2017 by SRHC and is currently stored awaiting operational restoration.
I find it odd that the Australian trains only blow their horns once or twice at crossings or wherever they are whilst in the US, our horns blow 4 times. I'm not sure why, what's the big difference between the horn patterns?
We mainly have P5s, S5Ts and our custom 3 chime (can't remember their proper name) Horns which you heard at 0:27 and 1:37 Here's one of my favourite Horn shows i've captured :) /watch?v=q46f-Y-ieqY
The Comengs still have the old Victorian Railways standard horn on them. Which are known as RVB 3 chimes. These were fitted to everything except B classes and Flat Top Ts & L Classes. All the sparks up until the Siemens had these horns fitted.
@@Cameron-c2p the Locos are Vline A class and VR X class (series 2). The trains was the Maryvale Paper Train which is now run by Qube from Morwell to Appleton Dock.
