Hours of pointless railway and transport ASMR for the masses.
Welcome to my travel / nerd channel! You will mostly find videos from my journeys. For some reason, these seem to involve lots of train travel! I particularly enjoy going to Iceland, Norway, France and Italy. I am a keen (perhaps obsessive!) railway modeller. I'm interested in European trains generally, but especially Italy, Norway, France and Germany. I trawl UA-cam looking for unusual or interesting train compositions and then create them in HO. I video them as a reference, so I can remember the compositions when I want to run them again. I hope this channel is useful.
I am based in the UK and am English, but have settled in Wales. I was born, and ever will be European, whatever lunacy occurs here.

Cardiff (Wales, UK) to Keflavík (Iceland): Flight OG831 with Airbus A320 Neo TF-PPB 25/10/24
Play Airlines ran some flights from Cardiff Airport in October and November 2024. As I live right by the airport, I booked a last minute weekend break in Iceland, and it also gave me a chance to try out Play. It was a really good (and convenient) experience, with two year old Airbus A320 Neo TF-PPB. Food prices on board were decent and the food itself was good (12 euros for a hot meal deal) and there were two trolley runs during the 3hr journey.
We arrived early at Keflavík. The only downside was no online check-in at Cardiff. After standing in a slow moving queue for approx 45mins, it reminded everyone of the benefit of online check-ins! I can't really fault anyone for this though, as everyone easily made it on time, and Play were only operating a limited service for a couple of weeks.
Please come back to Cardiff Play! I suspect that Icelanders will like the Welsh climate, the green mountains and fantastic, award winning beaches we have here! Just as much as we all loved coming to Iceland!

Northern lights in the UK! Extraordinary time-lapse from under the clouds- 10/10/24- S Wales
Переглядів 52621 годину тому
I was complaining that whilst on the 10/10/2024, most of the UK enjoyed views of spectacular aurora, whilst my area was under cloud. However, I went out and did an extended time-lapse anyway, in the cold wind and drizzle. I’m glad I did, because I witnessed a fever dream of lights illuminating the clouds from behind, reflecting off other clouds, beaming through gaps and generally producing star...

The Vale of Glamorgan line is a double track secondary line in South Wales, UK between Cardiff and Bridgend (via Barry, Rhoose and Llantwit Major).

The CC6500 with a couple of 'grand confort' cars and some oval track was a Christmas present for me some 48 years ago or so (I'm 55 and was probably 7 at that time). I must have spent hours watching it driving around the oval at medium speed on the carpeted floor. What amazed me then was its lights, particularly when in the dark. You did an excellent job on these engine !
@@MP-oh5eo what impresses me about these locos is that with a few small tweaks, it is possible to make them look really convincing. The original three pole or five pole mechanisms work amazingly well once you understand them. They can pull full rakes of coaches and if you put a weight over the pickup bogie, they don't stall on points! It was a lot of fun working on them. I have one more cc21000 that I will have in the silver version of the livery when it is all fixed up.
Buongiorno DANIEL. Complimenti per le riprese, ma sopratutto per la ripresa dal vagone di coda. ISCRITTO 💯💯💯💯💯💯👏👏👏👏🤗🤗🤗👍👍👍
Ero felice perché ciò non è possibile quando le locomotive sono DTS!
Nice work Daniel ! I noticed you painted the round canopy windows silver too !
Good to see a busy VoG. It certainly has its uses. Although I had lived in Rhoose for 20 years I never saw the “Christmas tree”. I’ll have to make a visit.

How rare are these Lima SNCF Cinema cars? Because I have one in N scale. Also are the N scale ones even more rare than the HO scale ones?

Confusingly, the train is shown arriving into Verona from the East. This is because the line between Venezia and Verona was closed for works. There was no rail replacement! Trains were taking a magical mystery tour of the Po valley, looping to Bologna and back. That will be another video!

@@dr.chrisketo7193 My point was that Akureyri has an offset localiser with tower using radar to supervise after the incoming aircraft has turned off this (I think). There is also a 5.3 degree ILS. I was trying to work out which option we had used. So Akureyri is definitely non standard on several respects.
