Schnitzel Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Since I take so many pictures it makes sense to put out a few to the wider world. All taken in Adelaide Australia at various locations. A few of them are taken out my car window and I have to be discreet as you get huge fines for mobile phone use in the car so sorry if you can see window sills etc in there. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schnitzel Posted October 31, 2019 Author Share Posted October 31, 2019 okay this rolled through as I was picking up my son from school. about 30 minutes ago. some are absolute rubbish but my theory is that they are better than the one I don't have next to them....so I flick all of them these are the SCT trains a private consortium that run trains between Melbourne Perth (via Adelaide) and Brisbane but curiously skip Sydney. two years ago when I forst moved down you would see one panel on these in a train of 85 wagons. Now they are leathered and recently the security has been fully beefed up. In two years they might all be buffed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are clean compared to the grain cars that run through to pick up wheat and grain from the farmlands north of here but they sit in a yard and security cap every single panel on them. you can see a line of 50 cars go through and there will not be one here the pieces are intact. it sucks see below this is how your pieces end up if they see them. consec is the security group Apocalypse now car is a favouritte but I've never manged to get a front on set of shots when it's going slowly! 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimer Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Damn theres some cool stuff in there. You guys get many west aus freights through ADL? I know majority of ours are just CBH grain freights running the wheatbelt, or mining heading north .. Recently moved just up the road from one of the larger freight layups over here, so I needa start learning what we've got coming and going haha 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnitzel Posted November 4, 2019 Author Share Posted November 4, 2019 Most of these lines will to some degree end up in Perth 3:50 theres a wholecar by Woke from Sydney along with gong,scub and scribl But I think it's a bit more east to west rather than west to east. lots of freight from perth is double stacked but in adelaide hills there is one tunnel that messes it all up. this vid shows how clean those sct trains were in 2017 think theres two/three pieces on whole line 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Man Banned Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Some cool stuff. Wonder what would happen if someone did a piece with an intentional consec crossout fill, could they get it to run without the security figuring it out. Seems like a long time between when the gates go down and when the train hits the crossing. Do people tend to wait for the train or do you have impatient people who run through? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnitzel Posted November 4, 2019 Author Share Posted November 4, 2019 @One Man Banned no cars but sometimes people do saw a kid nearly get squished which had me jumping like a frog on the train platform. cars not really the boom gates come down pretty fast alot of crossings have cameras - try to drive round the boomgates and bang $400.00 fine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnitzel Posted November 6, 2019 Author Share Posted November 6, 2019 yesterday morning steel trains heading back to Hastings in Victoria this one has Visual garbage written on top by a railworker in Victoria He's done it on loads of pieces - so many that dudes have made a zine of all the pieces he's capped capped ones showing the date they got capped 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnitzel Posted November 8, 2019 Author Share Posted November 8, 2019 rubbish morning this morning usually two down hill trains come through and then an uphill train goes through. however this morning the downhill trains were evidently running way late so uphill train went. That means at 45 minutes till next train at earliest and I had to go to work. This train is the "shit train" it's basically empty returning wagon to their depots and 90% has virtually nothing on it then nothing but 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schnitzel Posted November 18, 2019 Author Share Posted November 18, 2019 took these about 20 minutes ago. you'll note a lot of similar pics from last week. Think I need to start catching different lines ion certain train on the timetable will always be the same wagons which majorly sucks balls. to spice things up tried to get to another spot where I could cath other side but train whihc was at walking pace in this spot sped the fuck after the next bend and I missed it. little half size one - there's a coke branded one of these that has been a goal for many a writer and finally got cracked but I'm yet to see it run. gotta love the random names people come up with 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
