The problem with sleepers in Japan is that the operators have all figured out you should charge an arm and a leg to much fewer people then just some (((regulated))) fare to fill up the place.

The new "cruise"-style trains feature literal suites, whereas these old sleeper bunks are hostel-tier

I know Train vids aren't everyone's cup of tea, and it's taken me a while to get into this guy's rhythm, but what other "informational" Train channels are out there? Instead of the pure footage, sometimes with horrible color commentary.

The 80s and 90s videos look like they came off professional/broadcast video tapes like Betacam or similar. Video from that era can actually look good, just most of it on YouTube is captured from shitty VHS tapes with shitty Aliexpress tier hardware.

Issue is though, anyone who was capable of producing such good quality masters at the time were indeed professionals, because the price and quality gap between professional and amateur equipment was so great. The rights for their good stuff now belongs to some railway magazine or the legal remains of some long bankrupt mail order video store.

What they upload now is essentially freebies from their refuse pile. This also explains the all too common haphazard digitalization jobs done on footage that, done with care, could still beat any amateour recording from the eral.

Despite appearances, the Austrian class 1082, of which one was built in 1931, was fully electric. Three traction motors powered five axles via siderods.

A rotary converter allowed the traction motors to be fed with steplessly-variable voltage. It needed much maintenance, and it wasn't until the 1980s and the introduction of high-power semiconductors that the ideas behind it became practical.

>>5848 – The tanks might be air tanks. The engine brake was an airbrake while the train brake was a vacuum brake.

The closest I can find on Wikipedia's list is the WCP-1. The IRFCA list did not yield a more steamer-looking match.

Russians spamming CP with random links to presumably more CP.
