Thank you. I'm pleased you enjoyed it :-)

Thanks Bob, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I liked to get good value for my money.

@@Timsvideochannel1 Yep! LOL

Hi John, the hills do look similar to the Blue Mountains and those inland from Melbourne, they are a bit more rugged near the peaks. I'm glad you enjoyed the ride, it was one of the best tours I've had the pleasure to participate in.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Hi, Slovakia, especially Poprad is one of Europe's hidden gems. Railways survive that most likely would have closed had they been located elsewhere, not much has changed since the 60's, the area is beautiful and the people are relaxed and friendly, they smile, look happy and have time to enjoy life, at a time when many of us living in apparently more prosperous countries run just to stand still. I was impressed with Slovakia.

Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed it. I've have watched some of your videos, seeing other country's from a train window is truly fascinating, most of us will never see the places in Russia featured in your videos, I appreciate you sharing them, they are really interesting. I will try to book myself onto a rail tour to Russia at some future date, it looks too good to miss.

Słowacja jest piękne, wspaniałe miejsce do odwiedzenia na wakacjach :-)

Hello Heinz, the mountain scenery is typical of most of Europe's mountain ranges. I didn't know much about Slovakia before this tour, now I would advise people that it is a beautiful country well worth visiting for a holiday, especially for hiking.

Good afternoon Hans, is it hot in Mühlviertel today? it's very warm here. A year has passed since I made this trip, time fly’s. The diesel engine sounded good, the crew not only drive the locomotive, they also look after it as part of the museum collection, I hope they read your comment. This tour was excellent value for money, one of the best I've participated in, with the added bonus of reasonably priced, tasty beer. We were made welcome everywhere we went, Slovakians should feel very proud of themselves and their beautiful country. Take care. Tim.

@@Timsvideochannel1 Good evening Tim! I have just read your answer. It has only 23 degrees Celsius today. But it is very humid for that. Over 70% humidity. Simply unbearable. At 14 o'clock it rained once. About 2 weeks ago we had a really bad hail. The grains were up to 45 mm (1 3/4 inches). Have a nice evening, Tim. Greetings Hans.

​@@johannperaus6890Wow, hail stones that size must have been dangerous. 23 Deg C is nice, high humidity, not so nice.

Thank you.

Hi, I'm pleased you enjoyed it. The bridge work you saw was part of the D1 Motorway currently under construction in Slovakia - more details here - memim.com/d1-motorway-slovakia.html "Yes" there is more to come as our train leaves the main line to continue via secondary and branch lines to Bratislava. The next video should be ready sometime next weekend.

The sound of the diesel engine is actually the locomotive that hauled our train, but I have to admit at the point you picked out 59:15 I did substitute the original soundtrack, because the driver was sharing a joke with his mate. Where I do substitute the soundtrack, I try to find something that sounds as near to the original as possible. Most of this video is the original soundtrack. In the past I used music, but that was not always popular.

@@Timsvideochannel1 I think you made a sensible choice there. You can still keep music as a backup method of masking conversations.

Obrigado, estou contente que você gostou do passeio.

Hi, my cameras are all 4K, but I film long cab rides in 1080P because the cameras overheat and switch off when set to 4K if they are used for long periods of time on external battery packs. I use GoPro Hero 6 and 7 cameras along with a Sony FDR-X3000 4K Action Camera. The GoPro's are very memory hungry and I use 256MB Memory Cards. The cameras can be running up to 14 hours some days, I have 6 x 256MB Memory Cards and that is not always enough, even at 1080P. 4K Is not really practicle for the kind of rail tours I participate in, remember I have to empty all those cards into an external hard drive and find time to sleep at night. Filming shorter cab rides on single day trip is a different matter, 4K is practicle. Another piont worth mentioning is that I can't see any difference in picture quality between 1080P and 4K taken with any of the action cams, it is only when I use expensive semi pro Sony cameras that the difference becomes noticable, but it is not a big difference.

@@Timsvideochannel1 thanks for explane it Tim,.wel the videoos are beautifull.thats for shure.

@@MrPeerum Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoy the videos.

Thank you :-)

I hope you enjoy the ride ;-)

@@Timsvideochannel1 yes yes,nice nature to.good looking trains to,nice colors.

@@MrPeerum It was one of my favourite holidays, the railways are fascinating, the scenery and the countryside are very pretty.

@@Timsvideochannel1 wel Tim i think you have enjoy the country there,you are happy,me to mine friend.yor videos are always super.greetz:Peerke. cheers!!!!!!!!!! its warm here,tomorow 35c.lol.

@@MrPeerum Hi, I am pleased you are enjoying my video adventure around Slovakia. It is warm here today 25C, I hope the coastal sea breeze keeps the temperature in the mid 20's because 35C is way too hot. I would have to stop work, because my machinery would start to overheat.

Hi, Slovakia is land locked, but here is a coastal route from New Zealand - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qdujgcV9uqjOlX0.html

@@Timsvideochannel1 New Zealand is still the best!!!!

@@annawitter5161 New Zealand holds a special place in my heart, it is incredibly beautiful.

I am going to see my children there next month! Cant waiiiiiiit!!!!

@@annawitter5161 I hope you have a wonderful time, have you got anything special planned?

High-speed railways and new motorways are still being built today; emerging nations see good transport links as vital, just as more established nations did 100 - 200 years ago. The question is - will modern architecture stand the test of time?
