This engine was considered state-of-the art for two decades - inside the fameous Re 425
For two decades, the "Brownie" was the standard newer engines had to compete against when it came to tractive force. Developed specifically for pulling trains across the alps, this locomotive model has served for sixty years. However, its days are counted.
This is the story of the Re 425 a.k.a. Re 4/4 BLS a.k.a. Ae 4/4 II. A huge thank you to BLS for making this video possible!

The brute force approach to the impossible skilift problem: Poma lifts!
Просмотров 118 тыс.4 месяца назад
Building a ski lift that has both left and right turns is quite an engineering challenge. Poma lifts are an excellent example how to address this problem with marvellous minimalism. Nevertheless, they typically operate at higher speeds than traditional ski lifts.

The IMPOSSIBLE garaging that actually exists!

The way this chairlift stores away its vehicles should be twice impossible!

    3:32 - that would be PASSENGER train... I guess that LKW/ PKW naming convention just kicked in...? ;-) Also, I'd consider changing the intro shooting angle - for me, a viewer, it feels as if I were a rabbit (or a rat) in a hole being greeted by a hunting dog (cat)... Why not "eye level" camera position? 5:21 - "Spannung" is indeed "tension", but "voltage" would be more accurate translation in the context of "electricity" (or "electrical potential difference") - so "carrying a current of 15 kV voltage, AC at 16 POINT 7 Hz". Again, not "wrong", but then not quite "right" either; the "dot" is the mark, when placed at the end of a sentence is called "full stop", when used as decimal point then it is, well, a point ;-) Now, I know this is "about trains and locos", not "about English", but using language patterns and phraseology of foreign language when speaking it does help to convey the message, I'd say. Also, I'm not going to point all of these "carbon copy expressions" as I'm mostly skipping through this video (so I will surely miss most of them) and at any rate I'm not going to make fun of this - that earlier remark was meant merely to "point an issue" (or "provide a feedback"), and nothing more. Also, I'm not a native English speaker either, so I do understand how it works, and I do make, sometimes, similar mistakes. Cheers!
