    Please give this video a like for hard work it took to produce this content. due to low subscriber count video performance is very poor, I can't even pay for basic maintenance and repair for my pc from this you tube channel . Please support me to make more videos. just give this video a Like and share with others. Thank you so much.

      You might want to try proofreading your scripts a little more before recording the narration. There are awkward grammatical errors that may drive away viewers.

      Karl is not wrong, I was a little hesitant to sub but then again no one is perfect and your English is still much better than the foreign language skills of most native English speakers!
      I did sub, your channel seems very promising and I hope your views and subs go up!

      @CrippleX89 I'm pretty sure this channel uses AI translations (or Google translate) of a scripts for Animechanics Hindi and then records them with an artificial voice. Non-native speakers tend to be able to write without most of the errors that show up in the video but may have those issues in conversations.

    The animation on this channel is an excellent way to explain a complex subject, which would be hard if not impossible to ‘visualise in your mind’. I could see it applied to many other real world mechanical, technical and even physiological situations.

    Originally, back in the 1700's, all controllable bladed railway track turnouts were referred to as "Switching Points". However, in the US & Canada, this was shortened to "Switches", whilst the rest of the English speaking world calls them "Points".

      Not necessarily. Switches are a whole class of railroad mechanism. The most common switches today are the point switches we often see, but they aren’t the only switches out there. Many early railroads used stub switches where you had the ends of both the diverging and converging tracks move back and forth to line up their squared off ends with the line connecting to it.

    Lose the robot voice narrator, use a person, even if they have an accent, its was so much nicer to hear a human voice than a computer generated robot voice. Maybe that would help viewer count, I know I often drop a video if it's got a robot voice, I find them very annoying to listen too. Great animation, it clearly shows how these special switches work.

      There is always the option of hiring someone on fiverr or something for the script read too if they don't feel confident to do it themselves. Script reading doesn't seem to be overly expensive on there from a quick look English script reading goes for in the region of 500 words for $10. I've only used the platform to get some voice acting roles done for a game project I was working on but it turned out to be a good way to recruit people for what were otherwise too small a role to try and rent a studio and drag people there in person. Fortunately there are plenty of people with a good audio set up that can fill those roles from home these days.

    • @marcusdamberger
      @marcusdamberger Рік тому +2

      @@seraphina985 That's an awesome idea! I did not know about this service. Makes a lot of sense. UA-cam videos don't usually have super long scripts, so it shouldn't be expensive. I know it's 100% more $ than a robot voice at any cost but it will improve the video immensely, elevate it to a higher quality with the viewer and probably have them come back for more. Especially with the quality of the animation combined with professional narration.

    Very good explanation. Very very good art and animation. When I was a kid my dad had a saw mill next to a railroad. It was a short line connection our town to the Larger Southen Pacific. It had 6 engines mostly as toys for the owner. Including two steam engines used on occasion. I used to study the diamonds and switches. There are other types than in this video but no need to cover them all. Good Job.

      @jes2447 Рік тому

      In generally, yes they will have. But there are high speed switch crossings with huge turn angles, so train can pass them going up to 300km/h but they are obviously expensive and very complex.

  • @neiloflongbeck5705
    @neiloflongbeck5705 Рік тому +13

    In the UK this design would officially be recorded as an inside single slip diamond. Inside because the switching route is within the diamond.
    PS your original diamond is only acceptable if the angle between the two lines forming the diamond crossing is no greater than 1 in 8 or lower. Above this value you need to use a switched diamond.

    3:32 "Only A D track is active." This sounds like an error as there is no setup for trains to go A-D, while the video then shows train wheels going B-D.
    At the end there are three possibilities: A-C, B-D and B-C, with the switchblades.

    Could also mention the use of Slip Switches is for space saving. Whenever there are other options for switching, usually they are employed. One mostly sees slip switches in yards or areas surrounded by buildings/roads/platforms/bridge supports/other tracks/embankments etc etc ie where there are no other options.

I don't know that there were any diamonds but there were a heck of a lot of tracks crossing each other.
