The New South Wales Tulloch double deck carriage stock is a class of electric multiple unit (EMU) carriages operated by the New South Wales Government Railways and its successors between 1964 and 2004.
They were the first double deck rolling stock built for the New South Wales railway network and are widely accredited for setting the standard design of later electric rolling stock. At the time of their withdrawal, they were the oldest working carriages on the rail network.
Also included amongst these new carriages were four double deck motor carriage prototypes built that would be used as a basis for future motor carriages built for the New South Wales Railways.
