V39 in special livery

PavløvA_YT

Most V Sets entered service in either blue goose or candy livery. This one, V39, had a modified version of the candy livery, for reasons I don't know about.

2-car V Set V1

Represents a DC V Set in original condition upon entry to service.

Cars are DCM8021 and DCT9031, the first DC V Set cars.

Model is in PTC livery, and can run with the 6V below, ⁿ⁰V12.

DC cars have thin front windows, and this model replicates that, with 1 pixel wide windows instead of 2 pixel wide ones.

6-car V Set V12

Aka V7 on the bluegoose car

6-carriage V sets were the most common arrangement back in the day, with consists frequently having a mix of carriages from across generations, including DCM, DIM and even early DJM cars spread throughout them. Many different liveries, fluting types, and air conditioning were all present in these multicoloured sets.

This accurately depicts set V12, visible in many old videos of trains from the CityRail days.

On one end is bluegoose car DIM8067, and its trailer DIT9104, with two bulletproof windows and candy L7s. This pair have the older air conditioning.

In the middle is candy power car DIM8069 and its trailer DIT9117, with one bulletproof window and CityRail L7s. This pair have the newer air conditioning.

 Bringing up the rear is candy power car DIM8068 and its trailer DIT9121, with 1 bulletproof window and candy L7s. This pair have the older air conditioning.

4 DK V Set cars

Just a set of 4 random carriages, 2 from V29 and 2 from V44. These cannot run together, of course.

DKM8145 -- you have seen this before, but not in this livery! This was the paintjob it wore on 17/11/2001 when it opened Kiama's new electrification!

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.

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.
