Hi Peter, I'm pleased you enjoyed it. I love to watch the world pass by from a train window, the driver gets the best view, I appreciate him allowing me to share his view for a while.
Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed it, Slovakia is a beautiful country and the scenery gets even better as this tour continues into the Low and High Tatra Mountains. I will be posting more videos in the coming weeks.
Not bad. I’m quite the avid fan. I could do with less from the cab interior, but maybe that’s just me. Also, your playbacks are definitely running at different speeds. I actually timed the intervals between utility poles, etc. and the hand-held was running one-third slower than the windscreen-mounted camera. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Hi, it's to know you enjoy this kind of video, with maybe a little less cab footage. You're observation about the playback speed is an interesting one, this was filmed with a Sony and a GoPro sports camera along with shots from a hand held Sony camcorder. It was all edited in real time, I wonder where the speed difference crept in?
@@Timsvideochannel1 At first, I thought it might be subjective because the handheld footage delivers more ambient noise and irregular train movement. But, nerd that I am, I actually replayed duplicate intervals, noting the video time signature. Nope, it’s real. The product of the windscreen camera plays the identical track intervals faster. No worries. I’ll eventually watch every minute you have up.
@@franklinbrooks9506 To be honest on the day I was running out of cameras and media. Usually I am allowed to film for a few hours from the cab, I had already filmed one run, when the crew invited me onto the next locomotive to carry on filming, it was a long and very rewarding day. You're camera observations are interesting, I'll take a closer look myself when time permits.
Hi, I'm pleased you enjoyed it. The distant mountains remain on the horizon for much of the trip, offering the prospect of more serious railway engineering and dramatic scenery.
Hi Tim, if you ever get a chance to go back there again, check out the railway from Zvolen to Banská Bystrica, from Bystrica to Martin. It's very close and the real engineering challenges just start from there. Amazing viaducts, very long tunnels including the longest one and scenic views all around. So different from flat south of Slovakia. Best regards Ron.
Hi Ron, I am working on the next video to Banská Bystrica and Brezno, although by now the camera batteries are low and I am running out of memory cards, forcing me to use a camera that is badly affected by the locomotive vibration. Some of the driver's view footage is OK and I have a few shots taken as a passenger. If all goes well I should have something to upload by the end of the weekend.
Hi Peter, I was lucky to ride in the cab and see the driver at work, along with view ahead. Slovakia is place I knew little about, now I have been there I will make a point of returning, its a beautiful place with so much to offer.
Since this moment I have an idea how does it do at this line Šahy - Zvolen, because I have never seen before and only information I got from some railways journals or web sites. These "newspapers" state the line is abandoned, and in the video shown condition supports the fact. The sorriest part of things is there is one of Slovakia famous spa Dudince. There used to be in the summer season on fridays and sundays one pair of semi-fast trains, powered by motorcar class of 850 and trailers class of Bnp or Bmx, operated between Štúrovo and Zvolen via Šahy, made connection to fast trains on the main lines. Nice trip, I will be continue watching the second part.
Hi, I'm glad you are enjoying these. I was using three cameras for this one, due to rain and difficult light I decided to combine the best results from all three cameras. The only bit missing is five minutes or so when rain completely wiped the picture out.
Hi Tim! Very well, this cab ride view is beatiful too, and this landscape around, with sunflowers fields and rare villages, like Nortern Bulgarian landscapes :-) Alas, the rail infrastructure is poor... and it's too alike some regional railways near of Dunav, between Nortern and Central Bulgaria... :-( Especially thanks for shoots interiers of loco. It add a lot of realistic details for this railwey trip. And this small rain just don't broken it :-) Good luck!
Hi Chuck, I'm glad you enjoyed it, riding in the cab was fun. The scenery reminded me of both Bulgaria and England. The track was in better condition than it looked although the vegetation was trying to reclaim the railway in places. The drivers were nice people, although we couldn't converse they often pointed things out. The rain didn't spoil the trip, it only lasted for about 10 minutes.
Hi Tim again! Of course, our railways, especially Northern Bulgarian RW, has the grass is on the RW because trafficis is not intensive... however this RW going through place with many villages. Alas, just auto transport in current century 'killed' railway... :-( Good luck!
Hi Chuck, road transport robbed the Rhodope Mountain railway of all its freight traffic, I would love to slip back in time to see freight trains working along that line. Road transport taking the life blood from secondary railways is familiar tale in many parts of the world. On a brighter note although the middle part of this railway is not heavily used, both ends of the line were used for local freight, especially for transporting logs.
Of course, railways freight traffic and passenger traffic it's very different cases, is not it? But this difference conditions can be turned on profit for railweys. But this does if uses only reasonable means. However, it may possible only if researchers don't have 'monistic' brains alike have this any 'accountants'... ;-) /And if talking without uses 'politically correct' definition only, its 'monistic' view to deals have any of the 'effective managers' brains, -- is not it?. He-he-he.../
Oh dear, politically correct accountants are the enemy of common sense, railways should be regarded like the veins in a body, they carry the life blood of the nation, some can be removed and the body will continue to function, remove too many and the body starts to preform badly. Road is ideal for short haul smaller consignments, rail is better for long haul large consignments. Road and rail are there for the long term, working together, not in competition. They should be financed with the intention of maintaining the health of a nation and that requires a long term strategy for all transport, it doesn't matter if it runs at a loss, if the health of the nation is good. Accountants only see one year ahead, good transport is required for eternity, a bad decision today will compromise a nations ability to preform in the long term, raw materials and finished goods need good transport to help companies preform in this increasingly competitive world. People also need to get to and from their place of work and roads alone cannot cope.
Veľmi prekrasne natočené video 😉😉😉😉😉😉. Pochvala a palec hore 😉😉😉😉😉😉. Perfektné super 😃😃😃😃😃😃. Chcem sa opýtať , bude aj pokračovanie z Krupiny do Zvolena ? 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Dobrý deň, Milan, som rád, že ste sa teší tejto železničnej dobrodružstvo okolo železníc Slovenska. Budem nahrávať cestu do Zvolen v 3 alebo 4 dni čas :-) Google Translate - Hello Milan, I am glad you are enjoying this railway adventure around the railways of Slovakia. I will be uploading the trip to Zvolen in 3 or 4 days time :-)
When I look into the sky where I live in the South of England, there are always several vapour trails across the sky, now that you have mentioned it, I have started to noticed the lack of vapour trails left by passing aircraft on the Slovakian skyline.
There is a steam engine in my local park that sounds just like a diesel, it even smells like one. Whilst I missed the sights and sounds of a steam engine, the diesel did its best to compete, plenty of noise and some smoke.
Another wonderful tim video production,beautiful journey,great editing,now to pt 2, thanks tim regards bob, ps, check out U TUBE TEN TUNNELS LITHGOW NSW.
Thank you for letting me know Bob, I appreciate it. I took a look at "Ten Tunnels Lithgow NSW" its an amazing route, quite an engineering achievement, as I was at work, the computer carried on auto playing wonderful old Black and White videos shot around Sydney in the 50's and 60's.
Fantastic. And the best part is that you get to see many parts of the world through these videos. Cheers, bud.

You always make the most amazing videos. Thanks for sharing with us your trip. Safe travels ahead. God bless.
Thank you for your kind comment, I look forward to sharing more of my Slovakian adventure with you over the coming months.

It was fun experience, I imagine many of the old British Rail branch lines look like this in their last days.
Beautiful video, to see how the country is changing as you leave the flat plains and head for mountains.

nice video with a lot of interesting impressions
Thank you, the train driver gets the best view of Slovakia's green and pleasant landscape.
NICE FARMLAND LANDSCAPE...PITY ABOUT THAT WIPER BEING IN THE WAY...
Don't always notice things like the wiper blade at the time, by the time I get to edit the film, It's too late.
Hello Tim, was this short rain (24:39) also refreshing at time of recording like to me at watching at heat ruling Germany? :D - Heinz
After many weeks of hot sunny days, we've finally had rain here in England and the garden is looking much better for it.
What a beautiful country.
"Yes", its one Europe's hidden gems.
Enjoy all of these. Some more than others. This one was a little disappointing due to scenes being edited out.

when it was filmed?
The original video taken on 29th June 2018
super.vdaka amigo
Thank you, I am pleased you enjoyed the ride.
WICH GAUGE ? ? ?
Hi, the track gauge is 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 1⁄2 in)
prosím v češtině nebo ve slovenštině ne v tatarštině
Veľmi prekrasne natočené video 😉😉😉😉😉😉.
Pochvala a palec hore 😉😉😉😉😉😉.
Perfektné super 😃😃😃😃😃😃.

No me gustó el video movieron la cámara para todos lados y también le cortatron
Fantastic chemtrail free skys. I miss seeing that here.
When I look into the sky where I live in the South of England, there are always several vapour trails across the sky, now that you have mentioned it, I have started to noticed the lack of vapour trails left by passing aircraft on the Slovakian skyline.
It’s reopening in january
you ll have to dub the sound of a steam engine on Tim, otherwise I can t cope!!???
There is a steam engine in my local park that sounds just like a diesel, it even smells like one. Whilst I missed the sights and sounds of a steam engine, the diesel did its best to compete, plenty of noise and some smoke.
Дизлайк за формат сьемки. Для меня скачки с одной камеры на другую неприемлемы.
Ty
Cheers, I hope you enjoyed it.
For the uninformed, the name of the country would be nice.
Hi, I've added 'Slovakia' to the title.
