Reminders of your childhood

[nöyd]

Surely some of you also did this growing up:


it was either use the cards or race around the neighbourhood with half a dozen of your mates going NERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR *gear change* NERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR *gear change* NERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR, quickly followed by my mothers screams of "SHUT UP OR PISS OFF YOU LITTLE BASTARDS!!!!"

good times

Yep I remember the ding bat, I searched google for images of them but couldn’t find anything. Used to remember the elastic string on them used to break a lot.

Go back just a few years - seemed nearly half Sydney trains were single deck

2 decker trains is something I really like about Sydney trains plus the carriages seem a lot more cleaner and modern compared to Brisbane.

And we are going back to single deck with the metro trains. Used to love the old red rattlers.

I could watch that on a 10 hour loop, no joke...

The thing I loved about the single deckers was you could stand in the open doorway, catch the breeze and smell the air-brakes hissing. There was the prehistoric whine of the motors too. It's a pity there are fewer and fewer trains where you can open the windows at all. The modern ones feel like riding around in a giant childrens' toy, you're sealed off from the outside world and there's barely a sound. It's a sanitised experience. I can't imagine kids these days enjoying catching the train as much as I did when I was young, that's for sure!

The Oscars and Waratahs are nice comfortable trains but the old silver trains still running and the Tangaras on the suburban network are terrible,. Used to love the old Tulloch double decker trains, they had the sideway seat when you came up the stairs, if a train came in and had the Tulloch carriages I made sure iI hopped on them instead of the crummy silver double deckers, the Tulloch carriages were retired in 2004.
