Thank You for the comment. Please let me know on which video You mean the freight dock? If with diesel locomotive TEP70-0332, on the right side it is a grain elevator :-)

In the previous video called ТЭП70-0235 с пассажирским поездом / TEP70-0235 with a passenger train, immediately at the beginning of the video on the right there are about 6 light posts, maybe an equipment cabinet or phonebooth-sized building, and a concrete surface on the ground. What is that?

It is a stop for passenger pick up, called "Santaka". It's a small village :-)

5 cars is like a pleasant drive in the country compared to some of the monster formations we've seen!  Many thanks!

Hi BalticRailways, thanks as always for the videos. Happy 2016!

Based on the amount of smoke a non modernised m62 makes, i always wonder if a steam locomotive would have a better fuel economy. (some steamers do run on regular diesel nowdays as bunker c is not available anymore)

 

Btw: Are those passenger cars the same type that was made in N by piko ages ago? (if yes, then the m62 is available in N from fleischmann, so a repaint would allow this train to be modelled in N)

Thank You. Yes, it is on 1520 mm rail gauge. Mostly of our railway lines are 1520 mm (russian gauge). We have only a part of 1435 (EU) mm and 750 mm (narrow).

Nice vid.  Do you have any pictures of the interior of the passenger cars?

Nice vid.  Do you have any pictures of the interior of the passenger cars?

Yes I have. You can take a look here:

Type: sleeping car type "kupe" which has got about 36 places in one carriage:

 

 

Type: sleeping car type "plackart" which has got about 54 places in one carriage:

 

Type: sleeping car type "sV" which has got about 18 places in one carriage:

 

 

Mainly such carriages are going through that I have placed videos here :)

The passenger train looks particularly good with the snow swirling around a bit beneath it.  What are the average high and low temperatures in this area in February?   Looks pretty cold :)

I'm curious about the width of the catenary supports - are more tracks planned here, or have some been removed?

Thanks for asking. Well, this year we have only -5 max. But, for example, last year on February we had -20. This video was taken on 2016.01.02, it was so cold, about -16.

I really can't answer Your question right know, but it might be that there was one more track line. I need to check older photos. :)
