  • That... Is... So... AWESOME!!

  • "limite de distance".........dommage....

  • @chemiker494 actually the current record stands at 574.8 km/h so yes we have come a long way from 331km/h. Current TGV's run as fast as this "real machine" in normal service. In that case you can become a real man just by riding a TGV.

  • loveit

  • @harrisonaard1 yeah but it is more the power as the aerodynamics which decides ^^

  • @BlauerSittich It would have been interesting to have seen the difference in speed had an aerodynamic nose been put on the front! Seems strange post 'streamlining' style to have a powerful 'brick' make the record. Tres bon encore pour La France.

  • They didn't have resin bonded ballast then either!

  • @chemiker494 much more speed than 357 km / h at single running lokomotives would not be possible because then the Pressure forces are too large ...only trains (like TGV or ICE) can go faster

  • @BlauerSittich

    26 km/h in 51 years, that is what I call progress!

    Those were real men and real machines back then, impressive.

  • To quote Speedy Gonzales: "I like it !, I like it !, I like it !." Wonderful film, love the style, exciting, exhilarating ! Any chance of adding English subtitles? My last French lesson was 39 years ago and I'm not so good now.

    Pour citer Speedy Gonzales: "je l'aime !, je l'aime !, je l'aime !." Film merveilleux, l'amour du style, excitant, exaltant Toute chance d'ajouter des sous-titres anglais? Ma dernière leçon français était il ya 39 ans et je ne suis pas si bon maintenant.
