PavløvA_YT

Soon-to-be-preserved V Set V29 is now available as a model. It contains the updated version of DKM8145 (with retooled air conditioning) as well as DKT9191 to go with it, and DIT9184 + DJM8125. DKM8145 and DKT9191 opened the Kiama electrification of the South Coast Line on 17/11/2001.

The model is available in Cheeseburger livery.

DJX V Set cars

PavløvA_YT
Tonight marks the release of DJX power cars, specifically DJM8095 from V31, DJM8101 and DJM8104 from V39 (R.I.P V39). These power cars are notable because of their distinct roof slats, and also feature a realistic rear end. DJM8095 also has a snowplow.

DJM8101 and DJM8104 carry a special livery, and will be joined soon by their trailer cars.

Update: removed DKM8145.

Some candy V Sets

PavløvA_YT

State Rail Authority "Candy" livery. Both resistor driven "camshaft control" carriage DIM8069 and thyristor driven "chopper control" carriage DKM8139. Both have the newer type of air conditioning, but DIM8069 has only 1 bulletproof window, the other is rubber, giving it a distinctive "black eye" appearance.

V2+ Oscar prototypes!!!

PavløvA_YT


ITS FINALLY DONE!!!
 
AWAWAAAAAAAAAAAÆ--- 
 
After a while of redesigns, I can finally say this: Version 2+ of the Oscar is now coming out!
 
At the moment, it is only 2 sets: H7 in TFNSW InterCity, and H48 in TFNSW Suburban
 
This is "Version 2+" because an initial Version 2 did exist, but I did not publish it, instead choosing to redesign the whole train, hence "Version +"
 
Now, there are some big, big changes...
 
First of all, the doors are now the right proportions, with thin window frames. This looks so much better than previously.
 
Secondly, relevant stickers have been applied, with wheelchair accessible stickers, and cab notice stickers, as well as the relevant warning symbols, all being applied.
 
Third of all, and perhaps most excitingly: The carriages are now numbered. They feature accurate numbering, thanks to the usage of CarLookup, a train number index, to provide carriage numbers.
 
Also, as with the previous released version, some of these trains have cosmetic damage to the front bumper, as show above; the current pair of released consists both exhibit some form of damage at one of the ends...
 
Now, without further ado, here are the trains...
 
-TFNSW InterCity Oscar H7- 
 
-TFNSW Suburban Oscar H48-
 

...

Not yet... 

-Coming soon...-

20/03/2025
Be ready

 

Note that the model show above is not mine, it was made in 2015. However, something big is coming from me soon.
Something, lets say, 1/10 the size of an actual train...
It may even drive.
