Talk:Comeng (train)

early data

Can we have more information about the pre-refurbished versions? This should include the original orange ends of the trains, carpeted floors, the lack of windows between carriages, old seating with tartan cushions and beige walls.

Refurbishement

Maybe add a photo of the interior of a Comeng prior to its refurbishment. Yellow Thirteen 14:17, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Missing height description

Where did the height description of the Comeng train go? It was described to have been 3835 mm high (excluding pantograph). That information was there along with the width and the length specifications but now it's gone when the specifications table beneath the image was rearranged. Can we have it restored there? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cyberencyclopedia (talk • contribs) 1 December 2007

Thank you Jb17kx for adding the height specification, also I would like to know if the 3835 mm of height refer from the ground level that is the bottom of the train wheels to the top of the train car or is it 3835 mm from the floor of the car people step on inside to the top of the car. Just to be sure, I thank you for your reply.

Height of a railcar is customarily given from the railhead - so from the point where the wheel touches the rail, excluding the flange.

What/where is North Shore?

It sounds like Sydney. Is it part of the Victorian rail network? HiLo48 (talk) 05:08, 11 September 2021 (UTC)

Retirement section

Almost the entire section is unsourced. I propose removing the entire section, and replacing it with just some general information such as “Since YEAR, Comeng trains have progressively been removed from service and retired.(citation) Etc etc etc.” Wikipedia is not a source of news nor is it a place for original research. See Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not, WP:NOTNEWS and WP:NOR. Specific carriage details belong on rail enthusiast websites, blogs and Facebook groups. Fork99 (talk) 06:20, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
