One of the best videos I have ever seen on topic cogwheel trains, because you got shots that illustrated how the cogwheels work, and how the switches roll over. Absolutely outstanding. Thanks for uploading and sharing. This sort of video is why I love UA-cam. I can visit almost anywhere in the world, and experience by sight, and never stop learning. Thanks again.
Great video! I find these cogwheel mechanisms fascinating but I don't know very much about how they work (this is the highest level of detail I've seen of how the work in UA-cam). Are the cogs driven directly by an electric motor or are they hydraulically actuated? How are the cogs connected to the motor? I guess there must be a differential to allow different speed during the turns. I hope someone can shed some more light.
On the downhill trip on the old railcar without electronic equipment, the motor work in generator short-circuited. There is no need for auxiliary energy or possibly lighting and heating taken from the motor that work as a generator. The pantograph can be lowered to limit wear.
This is a shunt step of motor excitation. Red ON, yellow OFF. This corresponds to half a step of the main controller. We hear very well the speed difference of the engines.
Thank you so much for showing this nice video. What a wonderful country to live in.

Magnifique ce Pilatus sur le chemin de la crémaillère!
Lovely! Nobody in the World does railways like the Swiss. Couldn't imagine this in Britain.
Great presentation. and good shots of the rack mechanism and pointwork. Thanks tor uploading
Amazing youtube of cogwheel railway !
Wonderful video thank you.
Genialer Film! Ganz großes Kino!
mécanique magnifique et bonne mécanicienne !
wow... nice Video!
6:45 Pantographs are disengaged on the downhill trip. Where does the carriage get power?

@@YvesMamin wow
what are the associated orange/red buttons do...

I presume the ffestiniog railway might use an adaptation of the cog mechanism
Yves Mamin many thanks
sehr fein
Merci
wow ini keren
ouai ben je préfère le plancher des vaches lol
