Thanks!

Thank you! Check out kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5a5mZWclLeFj7c if you like, and I'll be sure to check out your videos soon as well!

Thanks! Bigger and better stuff to come from this location 😊

yes and what a formation too!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks! Yeah lol, too bad I'm not Mr. Weather Man 😜 cheers!

@@RWL2012 🤣yeah at least it wasn't very heavy rain tho

​@@MrMaguireLovesTrainstrue!

Thanks!

ikr... yes thanks, and with you. *finally* reapplying for my driving licence next month 😝

@@RWL2012 It's definitely been a while for that, hopefully all goes well!

Thanks 😜 I since learned that the boxes were too small for 8 of those drivers, because it turned out that Sony's recommendation for 0.55 cu ft per driver (4.4 cu ft of total airspace) for ported was for 45Hz. After getting BassBox software, it turned out that each driver wanted at least 0.83 cu ft for 30Hz, so I removed half the drivers and blanked off their holes so that each of the now 4 drivers now gets 1.1 cu ft - kzbin.info/www/bejne/laHLZJSNmrVqrMksi=6WBUHLujFvTUm4j4 - the final system will have six 8" P5s in two 2.5 cu ft triple-8" boxes (5 cu ft of total airspace).

@@RWL2012 Cool! Have you also considered using passive radiators in those empty holes?

@@SirFreak I didn't get on well with passive radiators when I tried them. I tried a 6.5" driver and dual 6.5" PRs in a 0.5 cu ft enclosure, but I couldn't get the tuning right, even after trying different amounts of weights on the PRs.

thanks 😜

yeah :)

Thanks for watching and glad you like!

Yeah they were :) working hard haha

Cheers! Yes it did :) A man driving on the bridge had stopped to let me know they were struggling lol

@@RWL2012 that was good of him

Thank you!

I think I've seen you on the bus lol. if you like trains, I have a "new" 5 month old video I've just made public 😆😝 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/inqunnqugZeZd6csi=4wXIKwllsfLO0oYE

are you on my bus? 😆

@@RWL2012 yeah I am on the bus daily HAHAHAH stop and say hello sometime so I know who you are

​@@NebulousBlizzardwas that you who just got off lol?

@@RWL2012 I thought it was you since you were smiling and stuff hahahaha 😂😂😂 I was wondering why you were all smiles

They are very nice buses, and yes the new TrawsCymru livery is also nice :) They've now been in service for about 4 and a half months on the T1 between Carmarthen and Aberystwyth. They replaced (on the T1) the 63 reg Enviro300s (some of which had done well over half a million miles going back and forth on the 48-mile, 2+ hour runs, and were showing it, although I did since have Cymru Clipper-repainted 67436 on an X11 from Llanelli to Carmarthen!) I'm lucky to have these on the longer distance bus service I frequently use (living in Aberystwyth, which hasn't had a passenger railway line to Carmarthen since 1965, although its reopening has been looked into and there's a petition and fundraiser). I've travelled on (in the order I first went on them) 65127 4 times, 65132 7 times, 65130 11 times, 65131 6 times, 65128 5 times, 65125 twice, 65126 once (and only short - the irony! I had sat in it at the introduction event lol) and 65129 twice. So I've travelled on these buses 38 times in the 4 and a half months! As well as the E12s being electric rather than Diesel, they also have features the E300s didn't have. Without mentioning all of them, instead of the standard First Bus interior with the bum-sweating fully-e-leather seats and the pink poles, they have a nice new TrawsCymru-spec black/grey (and a bit of red) interior, with half-fabric, half-e-leather seats, and on the back of the seats are the (presumably kinetic wireless) stop buttons (making the bus mostly free of poles), USB charging ports, phone holders with wireless charging, reading lights and fold-down tables :)

@@RWL2012 cool

I've uploaded a new video!

@@RWL2012 I’ll watch it !

I believe this was driver and guard (traincrew) training, but with the Stadler (manufacturer) banners in the windows and a man with a laptop I believe Stadler were doing tests on the trains as well. TfW have simulators, and I believe most of the Train Operating Companies do, but all operators ultimately have to train drivers and guards on the real trains. These runs went outside of TfW's operating area (Swindon!) because that was the route they could get _paths_ (slots in the working timetable) on. That's OK though, because these runs were for training the drivers and guards to be qualified to work the Class 756, not the route (it's not like a bus licence where you pass in one bus model and can then drive any).

I've uploaded a new video!

yeah the thrash just after the locos went out of shot 😜 and yeah unusual departing/loaded at this time!

Thanks :) I'll admit my zoom and focus skills need some work 😜 I'll be coming back here once I've retired the handheld phone on the first side and sorted out a fence mount for my second camcorder. And yeah I think 150s are underrated, unfortunately they're seen by too many as "the new Pacer".

@@RWL2012 sounds good 🙂

"New" 5 month old video I've just made public 😆😝 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/inqunnqugZeZd6csi=4wXIKwllsfLO0oYE

@@RWL2012 don’t worry most of my videos are old by the time they’re released too

Thanks, although it's 2 clips 😜 Warm and windy lol. Having a camcorder with optical zoom on a decent tripod is so much nicer than the grainy wobbly mess you get with a handheld phone, even with the minor vibration. I'll be coming back here once the first side has been upgraded to my second camcorder on a fence mount :)

Cheers mate 😜 yeah I think they run most weeks, though this 0330 was meant to be the 1549 the previous day 😄 I still can't work out if I've bumped into you or not lol. Ah have you moved then?

@@RWL2012 don't think so - or maybe I have?! On an apprenticeship, so been down in the cotswolds training for 10 months, now starting on-the-job placements at company bases around the UK.

@@AberystwythStation lol who knows 😄 ah right, is that railway related or not?

Thanks :) and nice one 😜 I recommend going to this Pwll crossing spot on the coastal path (the one nearer the tunnel) and on top of the tunnel itself by Llanelli beach. Also Dafen Footbridge inbetween Morfa and Pen-y-Fan. I don't even go to the station lol... I'll check out some of your content soon!

ikr lol 😝 I think the sounders have been replaced with new YA30 ones, but something is going very wrong, at least in night mode. My theory is the method of night mode hasn't changed from the old sounders, like it seems to be a reduction in voltage or something but that just causes these new ones to keep cutting out and resetting.

@@RWL2012probably hasn’t got enough volts as it’s meant to have Y03s

​@@WelshTrainspottingYTah yeah, interesting

​@@WelshTrainspottingYTikr, thanks for watching!

0330

Thanks :) It was more 0355 IIRC. I should probably set the clock in the camcorder.

@RWL2012 ah them alarms don't work properly then because this has had new alarms and they are not ment to beep

@@JPLCUK yeah I think the sounders have been replaced with new YA30 ones, but something is going very wrong, at least in night mode. My theory is the method of night mode hasn't changed from the old sounders, like it seems to be a reduction in voltage or something but that just causes these new ones to keep cutting out and resetting, hence the "beeping". @OWRailUK has a video of them working fine in day mode.

@@RWL2012 yeah I've filmed this in day mode as well

Glad you like!

@@RWL2012 all good 👍

Thank you! It's a 97 and a 37 but a 97 is just a 37 with equipment for the ERTMS/ETCS signalling on this line, so the 37 has to be on the back. Lol yes the thrash just after the locos went out of shot lol 😄 Those broken crossing warning sounds 😝 This is my first video that isn't a phone video or a handheld video. I'll check out your videos sometime :)

I've uploaded a new video!

Thanks very much, I can't believe I videoed from a golf course while golfers were golfing - wasn't my idea!

@@RWL2012 LOL Years ago I set my tripod up on a footpath that went across a golf course and a guy came and told me to move it. The spot I chose was right in their line of fire.
