Lots of trains. Please skip to the last shot (you can use the index with timecodes) to see an osmo mobile shot. This was one of the few 'reasonably good' shots I got out of the Osmo Mobile 1.
Almost all other tries gave errors.
But still the compression of the original Osmo Mobile was way too much when using motion timelapses.  
Pocket 2 is much better in this regard.

The end sequence din't look all that bad, Peter. But likely the Pocket2 would achieve a better result?

I guess  youtube compression makes the rest worse, but the footage looked 'ok' this time.
The real problem is with all the errors I got when making motionlapses.
75% it would fail.

Yes, P2 does a much better job.

trains are so cool! So calming.

Thanks a lot.
I totally agree.

Love the opening shot with those headlights on.    I learnt today that some trains have little pipes to spray sand in front of the wheels for grip.

Yes, the old Panasonic makes nice stars.
And indeed, they use it a lot.
Steel on steel does not give much grip.

It was totally new to me re the sand.   Learn something new every day.

I have known this since I was very young, but there was quite a lot of train stuff in my childhood

Exactly.

Yesterday I learned about that salary...
Wow.
That is quite a bit.

As I child I recall some of the nasty kids would wedge down the toilet flush,  and as the train came through the platform it was spewing water.

My friends dad worked on the railway,  seemed to pay quite well but the pension was very generous.

We used to put small coins on the tracks.
But if the train went too fast, it would get lost.

I wanted to become a driver, but then I realized you were probably killing someone every month.
That was a bit too much for me.
Plus the night shifts.....

Ive always wanted to do that but was to worried it might go wrong.

I had have a friend that is a retired driver. He gave up because of that,  man did he have some gruesome stories.

It's fun, but not when the train is at full speed (you just lose the coin).
We tried the other day.
So make sure you are somewhere where the trains have a bit lower speed.
Nothing will happen btw, the train will just make it flat.

Yes, it was mentioned in the introduction they gave for their training.
Must be very hard.

You only get 24 hours off here to recover from it too.

Just copper coins I guess?

I'm not sure about the details now. They do have special teams you can go to, but I don't know more.

Whatever you want. The Euro with 2 kinds of metal is nice.

He was a driver about 20 years ago so its probably changed here since then,  but the stories I heard were terrible enough.

Montfrooij Posted at 11-16 01:20
Hahahahahahaha.

I might start with a penny next time I go that way.

Montfrooij Posted at 11-16 01:20

I just checked and its an offence see to damage a coin.

When I visited the introduction it was 1996 or so.
And it was an eye opener for me.
Man.

Sometimes if it was expected there was a jumper,  he would have to stop the train and check under it,  and that was really gruesome.

I have to state it is not advised to do this, since I don't want to encourage illegal behavior (it is illegal here in NL).
But it was a lot of fun to do.

So I chose Logistics and Economy instead.

I don't blame you either,    my friend quit because he couldn't take any more jumpers.

They are fencing a lot of lines here, but when somebody wants to get on the track, they won't stop that.

There is a spot near me where you can cross that’s common for it, but my friend said there was a bridge just outside the station that was his biggest problem.
