In fact, they do feel quite a bit like Bombardier's newer efforts on London Underground, even sharing the same font for the PIDS or at least something very similar.
@@thatonecountryballanimator The most door-like of them are actually the most unreliable. Who knew traditional swing doors in a train were a bad idea? Although to be fair, the ICEs were only ever meant to be used as long-distance trains.
@@TheDragonFire123exactly. Imagine standing in a specific spot that when the train leaves, the door slams in your face and knocks you out of the train. Yeah, I think I’m glad it retired.
IMU 100s first appeared on a contract in 1993, whereas the earliest mention of SMU 200s was in 1994. This is why they're ordered as they are in this compilation.
"This is a Rockhampton City and Mount Larcom train, stopping all stations. The next station is North Street. Change at North Street for the Rockhampton Airport and Yaamba lines." (Fictional, obviously.)
@@TheDragonFire123 Actually the Tilt Train announcer would say something like “Welcome aboard the Electric Tilt Train, travelling to Rockhampton via Bundaberg. The next station is Caboolture.”
@@TheSearleFamily123 This clearly was not attempting to emulate the Tilt Train. Instead, it's an announcement from my fictitious Fitzroy Railways network, hence the "Fictional, obviously" flag at the end.
Two of these had technically also featured the doors opening. 😅😂 If you ever have the time, you should also do the doors closing on the refurbished trains.😊
And plus, on my temporary video of QR doors closing (which I took down by the time you first uploaded this), between IMU 100 and SMU 220, I included the Diesel Tilt Train (the person who uploaded that video did not state which type of tilt train it was), but I'm not sure if you've ever been on the Electric Tilt Train (goes between Roma Street and Rockhampton) or the Diesel Tilt Train (goes between Roma Street and Cairns and is also operated by Spirit of Queensland) at all, hence why you didn't include it.
I have not ridden either Tilt Train and do not consider them part of the Queensland Rail system anyway, so they would not have appeared here even if I had footage of those.
@@TheDragonFire123 Well, I consider the Electric and Diesel Tilt Trains part of Queensland Rail but they are not operated by TransLink. The G:link is operated by TransLink but is not part of Queensland Rail.
@@TheSearleFamily123 My previous setup before H.265 was also H.264 and AAC, although with the x264 encoder included in Shotcut. In 2020, I upgraded to H.265 using x265, and for these AV1 videos, as a beta, am using libaom-av1.
TheDragonFire123, I've got just the thing for you: ru-vid.comUgy-VmiVrWP8idgEvKl4AaABCQ Why? Because I'm about to start a collection of inductor coil recordings for Sydney Trains, and I recommend you build your own to do a Queensland Rail version! Please note that the video for the circuit is only in Japanese, but I've asked for English subtitles to be added. Here are all the traction systems for Queensland Rail: IMU100: Adtranz GTO-VVVF with 3-phase AC asynchronous induction motors Electric Tilt Train: Hitachi PWM 2-level IGBT inverters with DC motors SMU220/SMU260/IMU120/IMU160/NGR: Bombardier MITRAC IGBT-VVVF with 3-phase AC asynchronous induction motors (modulation pattern on the NGR is different)
The acronym comes up in many other countries to, so if you were wondering why so many trains seemed to be named after the Australian bird, now you know why.
