The Connick Comeng

Post by GriffinRoads1 »

Hi all.
I've been diving through several old Connex adverts (which it seems all of them have someone screaming at the camera), and I noticed in the Harry Connick Jr adverts the Comeng Harry is presenting is WAY different from any other comeng in the fleet. It's got different logo placement, and it's unrefurbished on the inside. They covered over the car numbers for the advert, does anyone know what car(s) was/were used?

You might have more luck on the Railpage forum, not many people seem to post on here these days. Depending on what part of the year 2000 it was filmed (or even 1999?), there probably weren't any refurbished trains at the time, even by the end of 2000 there were only a couple of refurbished sets in service.

The 517M set was the first one out of the shops in July 2000, and as of 2022, 517M is now a month or so from being turned into a cube. https://railgallery.wongm.com/comeng-tr ... -may-2022/
