  • Is this the first video you uploaded?

  • @UltraJoosh This and the Friesland / Dalton Wig-Wag videos were all uploaded on the same day. The wig wag videos were taken two years prior with my old camcorder. They're the first train videos I ever took (hence, no tripod and the date stamp is on). This was the first video I ever took with a tripod (which I kick at 0:44) and the first video I took with my second camcorder. I'm on my third camcorder now.

  • @Brenton81 Oh. So you uploaded all three on the same day?

  • @UltraJoosh Correct.

  • What does it mean on the loadspeaker 63.2 detector?

  • That's a defect detector. It checks the train for sticking brakes, hotboxes, dragging equipent and such. If it finds a problem, it will broadcast a notification so the train can be stopped and the problem corrected.
