Hi, this is one of the best rail journeys I have made, a handsome locomotive, beautiful scenery and friendly train crew, what more could anyone ask for? I'm pleased you enjoyed the video
Brilliant! I really enjoyed sitting down with a glass of Captain Morgan's spiced rum and a packet of crisps to watch this enchanting video of a very special railway. Thanks Tim for making it. Maybe some day you will do a commentary to go with this video to tell us a little about the villages and the factories we pass by? I think if you did this, saying for example that we are now passing the "church of ? at the village of ?" that the Slovenian tourist board would be interested in using it. Just a thought as the video itself is so good.
Hi, I'm pleased you enjoyed the ride. The history of line is truly fascinating, clearly it still serves industries along the route. The original purpose of the line was to connect Central Europe with the Adriatic Coast. This line deserves to be covered in one Micheal Portillo's excellent documentaries. I hope to return in the future to make an updated video. Please click on this link to learn a little more - www.visitcollio.com/traditions/transalpina-railway-oldtimer-train-from-nova-gorica-to-bled/
Don't know such beautiful sceneries at Balkan! Tim, after you corrected already our (West Europe)'knowledge' about Montenegro you surprised us with pictures we never assumed to be Slovenia. - Heinz
Hello Heinz, most East European countries are surprisingly scenic as you will see as I post more videos showing the former Yugoslavia. Next year I am planning on joining a rail-tour around Czechoslovakia, from my research it is also very scenic. Our perception of East European countries and the reality are quite different. Best wishes. Tim.
The scenery is breathtaking, there are some amazing gorges and caves to walk through, Lake Bled is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. You and the rest of the hiking club will have awesome time.
Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed it. Slovenia is a fascinating country, it's industry looked modern and the country was far more affluent than I was expecting. From a tourists point of view there is the stunning scenery, deep gorges, amazing caves, beautiful old buildings and a fascinating history.
The colour of the river is amazing, it is caused by dust like particles suspended in the water. The suspended material distorts the wavelengths of light, reflecting back more of the green and blue end of the spectrum, hence the colour of the river.
Hello, I enjoy a beer or two whilst editing these videos. This is one of my favourite rail trips, I would love to return and film the train from the line side, especially as it crosses some of those wonderful bridges and viaducts.
Beautiful scenic mountain journey(so green)in a beautiful country thanks tim well done ,That engine has really got some leg's is it european built?Now for part2 cheer's bob.ps did you enjoy your flight home to the wonderful spring weather
Hi Bob the flight was fine, the weather is cold and windy here in the UK, just spent the day filming the 'Spring Steam Gala' at my local heritage railway, the 'Mid Hants Railway'. Shooting video was very difficult in cold windy conditions with low winter sunshine. The locomotive featured in this video is No.SŽ 33-037 produced in 1944 by Henschel in Kassel
Originally Austro-Hungarian, then Italian ( 1919-1945) then Yugoslav, now Slovenian. 1943-45, Val Bacia ( Bacia torrent, headwaters of Izonzo River) along the Sta. LUCIA del Bacia ( now Most na Soci) was the scene of intense fighting between RSI ( Republican Italian) troops and the Yugoslav Tito communists. Bersaglieri ( 3° Rgto, 1° Batt. 3°Comp. ) Held this railway line from Sta.Lucia to Piedicolle ( just before the Tunnel to Jesenice). BR 52s regularly ran this line for German Army. My father served there ( Sgt, Bersagliere) from 1944-45. I visited there in 2018....how beautiful it is now in contrast to 1945!
Hi, thank you for this fascinating insight into the history of the railway, it made really interesting reading. Today the trains pass through some of the most beautiful and tranquil scenery to be found anywhere in the world. As you point out, the contrast between 1945 and today is hard to comprehend.
Now Slovenian? We re been here for quite some time, beetwen great nations of Germany, Italy.. Englese haha.., 2 milion nation in in every bettle fought by your great nations,..But the steam still works nicely, the streams are blue and we stell love Astrid s from Italy :)
i do have to ask, besides this steam train ride and the one in serbia (sargan eight), are there any more steam train rides or steam trains in general on the balkans that you'd suggest me visit?
Banovici near Tuzla in Central Bosnia is a great place to see steam action, both standard and narrow gauge. Its worth looking on the internet to see if there are any special event days or days when one of the Railtour companies are visiting.
Excellent video, Tim! I apologise if I've asked you this before, but what editing software do you use? I'm looking for something myself now that Windows Movie Maker has disappeared.
It is a shame Microsoft is choosing not to support Movie-maker in future, as it was good basic package, easy to use with good results. I use Pinnacle Studio mainly because I've got used to using it and dealing with its quirks. It does require a powerful computer with plenty of RAM memory, but then so do most of the other packages. I have also tried Nero and Power Director, there is little to choose between the packages, they all do a good job and the learning curve is not too painful. I find that if I am editing 4K video with a lot of correction and edits, it pays to edit not more than ten minutes at a time to avoid over taxing the computer. I then bring the short edited segments together on the timeline to create the final movie. One thing that is very important if you use more than one camera is to make sure they are all set to the same frame rate.
Timsvideochannel1 I've only got one video camera 🎥! I'll have a look round and see what I can find. What I don't want to do is buy something, even at moderate expense, and find it won't do what I want or that I can't work it at all!
Hi Gaston, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I used a Sony FDR-AX53 Handycam for most of the filming with some shots from both a GoPro Hero 3+ Black Edition - GoPro Herocam. All the cameras used their own built in mics. I do use a rode mic at times to reduce wind noise although the latest Sony cameras have pretty good built in mics. GoPro's cheapest camera (Herocam) is probably their best for ease of use and sound quality although it does not have all the bells and whistles, I find it is generally their most reliable camera.

If you had taken this ride on a cloudy day, edit any evidence of modern times (tourists and autos), rendered the video in black & white, you'd have a perfect sequence of what train travel would have been at the time of WW2. Only thing missing is soldiers in Nazi uniforms. The shrieking steam whistles completes the image of very bad times not long ago.
Thankfully those bad old times are no longer with us, but you are right about how this train recreates the past, such as in the 1964 film "The Train" in which a German colonel loads a train with French art treasures to send to Germany and the Resistance must stop it without damaging the cargo.
The trip by steam in solvenia is so beautiful especially the greenery sights very perfect ride on steam train is very special, Thanks 🇬🇧😎👏🏻👍🏻📢 !!!
Hi, I'm really pleased you enjoyed it.

Very scenic route .. Thanks for sharing. It must have been an experience to travel in & drive vintage carriages.
I can't think of a better start to a holiday, I look forward to sharing more adventures from my tour of the former Yugoslavia.
That was absolutely first class, so many great angles, well done that editor Tim.
Cheers Steve, it was an outstanding train trip, one I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone taking a break in Slovenia.
Another great train ride! And I didn't even leave my home in Australia to take this trip! LOL - Thanks, Tim!
Cheers Neil, I'm pleased you enjoyed it, it was a fun day out.
As always, you put together great videos, Tim! Cheers!
Another awesome scenic trip. I sure love them old trains. Thanks for sharing. Safe travels ahead. God bless
Hi, a powerful steam locomotive passing through stunning scenery with vintage carriages, it doesn't get much better.

Nice trip thanks. Heading off to Slovenia for a hiking club holiday in September so this is even better to see.
The scenery is breathtaking, there are some amazing gorges and caves to walk through, Lake Bled is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. You and the rest of the hiking club will have awesome time.
Great thank you. Can hardly wait!
Great stuff a tribute to the guys who drove the train lots of sweat lovely video and views from me looking UK .
Brilliant viewing. What a country of contrasts.

Those old German built locos have a certain majesty about them! Great to see!
They remind of a 9F, purposeful, not over-complicated, just as a steam locomotive should look.
dit was weer een hele mooie rit Tim.bedankt weer zover.greetz:Peerke.
Dank u, ik ben blij dat u van de rit genoten bent. Tim.
Beautiful places. Thanks for the video.
Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed it.
Thank you, it was one of the most scenic lines I've had the pleasure to ride on.
That river is the most remarkable shade of aquamarine. Incredible.
The colour of the river is amazing, it is caused by dust like particles suspended in the water. The suspended material distorts the wavelengths of light, reflecting back more of the green and blue end of the spectrum, hence the colour of the river.
Thanks for the info. Nature is a marvel, isn't she?
Ótimo vídeo,lugares bonitos,paisagem bonita,trem antigo bom confortável,a estrada de ferro bem cuidada!

Gorgeous, I nearly waved at people beside the line!
Cheers, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Simply Superb !!!
It is fun to be able to ride a regular scheduled steam train through such beautiful scenery.
Originally Austro-Hungarian, then Italian ( 1919-1945) then Yugoslav, now Slovenian.

Bellísimo !!!!!

More rides behind ex BR 52 Kriegsdampflok mit Wannentender still going strong :) Hmmm "Dark territory"?
Hi, these wonderful workhorses crop up all over Europe. I'm sure I'll get to ride more of them on future rail-tours.
Excellent video, Tim! I apologise if I've asked you this before, but what editing software do you use? I'm looking for something myself now that Windows Movie Maker has disappeared.

nice ...
Thank you.
Een werkpaard. BR52. Gebouwd voor een gebruiksduur van slechts 5 jaren......
Het zijn opmerkelijke locomotieven en ze zien er ook goed uit.

Very picturesque but you did too much editing for my taste.
Oh well, I'm glad you enjoyed the scenery.
haha jas sem iz slomenije im from slovenija
Slovenija je prekrasna zemlja, mora biti lijepo mjesto za život.
