@@hypercomms2001 I took scenes around the station when there early this year and will wait and see what scenes our driver has taken when I get his latest batch of scenes next year.
Did they keep the old station building (Mooroolbark) and move it somewhere, or was it completely demolished? So much history gone if they did destroy it. Used to travel that line all the time back in the day, was back on it last year for the first time since the 80s, so much change and it was downright depressing - but that could have had something to do with it being a wintry Melbourne day too!
The original station building is being restored at the Lilydale campus of Box Hill TAFE and will then be relocated to Tarrawarra on the Healesville heritage railway .
Did you mean to put Lilydale in the title instead of Croydon? As Croydon hasn't been done yet but it is currently in the process of being grade separated from my knowledge.
@@tressteleg1No that's all good. It sure seemed like a lot of editing went into it. How did you manage to do it all, even with speeding up and slowing down the audio and adding multiple tracks onto each other? I'm blind so I'm just going off the sounds but it sounded very complex to me. Can you explain?
@@therealsammyvee888 I don't know how @tressteleg1 did it but if I did it with a program called Shotcut, there is a filter called Time Ramp which lets you adjust the speed of a clip to make it sync with other clips or simply to make it play in a certain time. As he said above it's a great ordeal to get it right. I can understand him getting sick of it!
I will do my best considering your inability to to see things. As you may know, in a traditional movie film, you have a very long strip of plastic material with many photographs taken a fraction of a second apart, placed one next to the other. When these are run through a projector and shown on a screen, it looks like people are walking, Trains are moving etc. My Apple computer comes with an editing program called iMovie. The screen makes the digital image look like a strip of traditional movie film. What I can do is place 2 strips horizontally across the screen, one sitting above the other. With old time movies, the editor could cut across the film and remove a section and join the rest up again to take out the unwanted bits. I can do the equivalent on the computer. With one of these film strips I do nothing but cut out the time the train is stopped at the station. With the other strip, I cut it here and there, add make that section Run faster or slower to match the speed of the train in the other strip. Obviously when a section of electronic film is made faster or slower, this will affect the sound as well. That is why I generally use only the sound of the Train whose speed is not modified but with the two stations featured in this video being at slightly different locations, the whole matter became quite complicated. In this video, it was the After train whose sound I kept. I hope you can get some idea of what I have been talking about.
@@tressteleg1Thanks so much, that really does help a lot and explain some things. I appreciate you explaining that to me as best as you could. I think it's very fascinating how that all works.
@bloodyshiraz Yep, and any other bridge over roads, streams and anything else. I expect the idea is used world wide. Sometimes you could find them on sharp curves or even to protect pillars holding up a bridge overhead.
They really need to update the announcements on the lilydale station it seems the terminating announcement comes as the train slows down at the platform? any reason why it does that
I don’t live in Melbourne and don’t ride the trains much, but presume you believe the announcement should be played a bit sooner. If that would make it correct, I suppose that sort of thing will be done in due course.
Both trains were going at different speeds there (and Mooroolbark) and to synchronise them I had them vary the speed, mostly changing the Before version and mostly using the After for sound but as both trains were leaving those 2 stations at different rates, I left both soundtracks there with the horn differences you noticed. That’s what happens when the new stations are in different places.
Greta video. Good job with syncing up the two vids.
😊👍
Good one 👍 keep up the good work 👏
Thanks 😊👍
Looks like you're gonna have to update Croydon! It's completely different now!

Interesting video!! Thanks Tressteleg1💚👌

I hope you saw the response kindly sent by John Phillips who lives in the region.
@@johnphillips592 Ah, that's great to hear. Thanks for the info 🙂

Thanks. Fixed. Doing that video was a great ordeal to the point I was quite sick of it at the end. So mistakes happen…

cant understand why they didnt double track to lilydale from mooroolbark,.
Maybe there is not the traffic to require any extra trains which double track would make possible.
What are those inner sets of rail before and after the bridges for?
To catch the wheels of a derailed vehicle to stop it falling off the bridge. Used everywhere.
@@tressteleg1 Ty! So that's why they are over the elevated sections?

How come the audio for the 2nd half sounds really weird? (The horns specifically). Around 12:30 - 13:00
