Somewhere wales is a roblox game, that’s where a came from

I agree100 %. I wrote a complaining post to a beautiful soldier coming home surprise video that was ruined by screaching music playing the way through. So many good videos ruin by stupid music. Played at the wrong time.

@@donlewis6650 yes -As I paraphrase Joanna Lumley ;"Pipe Downs* "president said -`Who chooses the Muzak in cafes/public places /adverts / -its all done without the consent of the hapless auditor-?`- * Pipedown -the campaign for ridding us from extraneous noise in public life.-As I write Im enjoying the mix of delightful hissing -wheelslip- steam rhythms -children`s gleeful delight - birdsong-traffic subdued to rail/wheel rhythms-crossing minor thirds signals -pure Joy as Stanley Unwin might have said -

Beg to differ.... These are background sounds(and beats) of the Gothic Industrial Music scene. Which also grew/splintered into the Steampunk Subculture/Club/Fashion/Music/CosPlay scenes. Part Dystopian, Part Victorian with a Science Fiction Element where the future evolved with Steam Powered . No outfit is complete without a pair of googles......

@@donlewis6650 I think we may have different country's Englishes in affect to the power of different social circles and lifestyles not exposed to making even more complex of reference. Plus through the power of KZfaq it may stated my reply to Phil was to you. Make even less sense. You would think Google/KZfaq could make a better thread system for clarity in comments, it has only been around since before the Internet grew from Usenet/Newsgroups.... Where Phil said "...what a rare luxury -no elaectro music disturbing..." I was commenting on the irony that it actually is electronic music and not just music to Rail Fans. Although I agree 100% with sentiment of being thankful this video didn't have annoying loud free "electronic" music from some free youtube artist blaring all over the original sounds at an ungodly volume level, that for some reason seems to infect most uploaders. Given this isn't what most people think of as music but if something creates an audio sound discernible to the human hear, it is used in music somewhere. IE: Cow Bells, Seriously I have set up microphones for cowbells on percussion kit, but I digress... The sounds of Steam Engines and Industrial machinery is in itself a music genre. Those sounds are used in sub-genre offshoot from the 1970/1980's Gothic Punk movement that skipping several decades of musical & subculture lifestyle evolution splits and new subgeneres that formed from those and repeat the cycle to where it brought a music form known for the sounds of these trains , machinery and emulations and distortion of other instruments to more mechanical sound called "Industrial Music". Which "Industrial" overlaps with the Gothic Music fans and Morphed into the SteamPunk Fashion scene/genre/fandom. It falls in the judgmental of the person watching and listening of is it all just silly? to whatever floats your boat & makes you happy? to cool & sexy and great beat I can dance to this. The line about Googles is semi-joke because most industrial club outfits had work/welder's Goggles as part of their fashion look at nightclubs. Raves and Industrial music share fan base and roots and from this comes the googles and face masks for dust stirred up. Due to dust face masks also were often needed and which were accessorized to make them fashionable, Gas Masks were often used because of the tie into time period, horror film base fans. Which nicer refined ones are in the SteamPunk scene/genre/fandom world . Which is set in some alt Universe where Steam trains , dirigible airships and massive industrial age gear driven machines rule the technology tree. That the modern power method is still steam and with it we have some electrical things like computers but everything still relies on numerous gears and nice mechanical keyboards and are part of the fashion sense with a Victorian style England mixed in with Tophats and corsets . Add in a mix of Dr.Who for good measure.... A world where oddities like the en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyrocar and/or en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyro_monorail and Penny-farthing bicycles are normal every day modern items. The upside the weird science stuff is king and Nikola Tesla trumped that clown Thomas Edison with that Alternating Current as history should have turned out.. Edison is the VHS of VCRs war. Just because his current won doesn't mean it was the better format but I digress again... Lost & confused? The longer explanation was even worse of a club music sound and fans history of how it morphed through all the divides and the changes to where a factory and steam engines rhythmical sounds form a base for music style. Which often has their concerts and/or dance club nights in older abandoned Industrial complexes that are cheap to rent or can throw a party at that won't disturb anyone. Which CosPlay is short for Costume Play. The Biggest part being the Costume and that theme defining all far too numerous to go into fully subgenres/subculture scenes/groups in it. People dressing up in costumes/characters as a hobby usually refers to the crowd for Comic Books, anime/animation(still don't understand this split myself), TV and/or film characters and animal mascots aka Furies. Technically Military and Railroad Reenactors and Collectors who dress up for events fall into CosPlay. Although the groups are doing the same thing basically, each would swear what they're doing is different than those freaks.....

Ulrich Schüz Can someone translate this and btw Güten tag

Thanks Mike, I love visiting Wales especially the FR. I have visited the Talylyn last year after a number of years of not going. Will be going again next year hopefully. Regards James

It is at the ffestiniog railway i believe, a railway that is quite large

It is wonderful, so much better than stuffed and mounted! These living works of art need to be used to stay well oiled and not develop corrosion, i feel much sadness when i drive by the few remaining in parks here in Australia.

acw71000 Thanks very much Austin, there will be a part two on Wednesday which is stills from the event with running commentary about each loco as the "Quirky cavalcade" was a disaster for video/photos as they use the main platform for trains to up the line so just recorded the commentary and will Super impose on the video instead. Regards JamesandPeter

Quite the reverse! The Fairlie patent double engines were built to haul massive trains of empty slate wagons back up to the mines at Blaenau Ffestiniog. The gradients were so steep that most of the downhill journey to the dock at Porthmadog was gravity-assisted but the locos then had to hold back the weight of a loaded train.

@@davidjones332 WONDERFUL answer! Thanks for your knowledge and taking time to reply!! *****

I remember chhook chhook gaadi

@@yeo5811 Oh dear........I'm shaking in my choo choo

@@yeo5811 hahaha

Fun fact those locos are the double farlie class and there are many more of them that were preserved/restored on that railway

Should be meter gauge.

The Ffestiniog Railway, North Wales UK. Gauge 1 foot 11.5 inches (597 mm).

Yeah.

Little Sethie Thank you and yes some of the trains were funny. Regards JamesandPeter

Can you not speek in canser

The smallest lightweight engine was the motorbike, possibly about 20hp. 1970s vintage. The "compressed air engines" could have been fireless engines. We used them extensively on mine/power station work. Load them up with 20 tons of superheated water at the powerstation and you could use them underground in coal mines which had a risk of methane fires. They were very inefficient because they used saturated steam but could operate up to 4 hours without a recharge, much longer than compressed air. There were a couple of Lister cargo cars (10hp) converted to locos. I scrapped about 30 tons of Lister cargo cars in the early 1980s. Most obstinate mechanical devices ever made.

kcjones1313 Thanks very much, I too enjoyed seeing Polar Bear. Regards JamesandPeter

yer thats a cool one.. i think i seen 2 compressed air engines? a black one too somewhere.. i'm curious how much range they have

@@sausagefingers714 they had full size ones to work in chemical plants, I believe they could do a full shift

@@chubeye1187 Range is measured in yards. You pump them up with shop air at every stop or two.

Usually they were used in munitions factories where an open flame could have meant destruction.

@@wi11y1960 They're also good for coal mines and weaving mills where flammable dust builds up. Coal mines can use fireless cookers, where the "boiler" is filled with hot water and steam at high pressure and released to produce steam at lower pressures, but of course weaving mills can't have the steam around the fabrics, so they used compressed air. www.whippanyrailwaymuseum.net/exhibits/equipment/engines-a-powered-rail-equipment/fireless-cooker-0-4-0f-no-7240

It is one

That's the Festinog alright that's why those double farlies showed up

bakerlonian Thanks for the comment, regards James

Here's a longer clip kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q6hioLCgupPad6M.html with information about the event, their locomotives and the "guestS" visiting Locomotives and rolling stock railroad cars . Its from 4 day weekend of 28th April 2017 to the 1st May 2017 the Ffestiniog Railway held their Quirks and Curiosities event, this is the sequel to the event held in 2010 . Make sure you click that show more option for information about the video, they name the trains and where they came from if you want to research any further. Makes "Train Mountain" in the USA not look as cool as it really is in comparison.

Like a railbus

cant have too much range on such a small tank

Probably straight from an old mine. :)

That sums it up brilliant
