Engines of SEPTA: Pioneer III (Silverliner I) 

The background traffic noise in the commentary probably made that worse too. I'll try to balance it out better in the future. thanks!

Thunderbolt 1000 Siren Productions I noticed u used the Donald & Douglas theme from Thomas The Tank engine & Friend

The music was very quiet what are you on about? overreaction

@@Thunderbolt_1000_Siren I've seen a few of your other videos, including about the good one about the Maryland accident, so I'm familiar with your production quality and that you do these videos because you love trains. What I have to say isn't complaing, rather it is advice on what is necessary to your audience. Redo this video. Because it is the first a series, some may be so turned off that they might not see your later work where your skills have improved slightly. Before uploading, always check the sound levels. Overbearing music makes a video unwatchable. Also, a small investment in a quality microphone designed for voice recording will also ensure that what you say is heard by those of us who are interested in what you want to say.

@@Thunderbolt_1000_Siren how come you played the Donald and Douglas theme if this is not in Scotland

So they attempted before to replace the smooth bullets and they failed. Never knew that. I'd rather have those instead than the piece of junk N5s we have now. Sure they got good horns and accelerate fast but they are a mechanical mess and don't forget one lost its brakes and caused the speeds to drop. Hence why it's the "Slow speed line now"

Yep that was the Metroliner preserved at Strasburg where that photo was taken. Those Silverliners are sadly no longer there. Metroliner still is though

Tru

I can agree. We use to have 165 Thunderbolts here in Limerick (Mostly 1000s where I live but there were a handful of 1000Ts but I've only heard the 1000s) I partly lost my hearing temporarily when I went up close to one during their tests. Now all we have are T-128s. Peach bottom in Southern PA had 1000s and a 2001-130 (the 2001 was an add on for better sound coverage) too but they are also gone except for the 2001.

I am aware of that but unfortunately finding Pioneer III photos was pretty difficult especially the demo coach itself so I was very limited

So you use one that has nothing to do with topic.... Mmmkay

@@RRansomSmith did you not read what he said

I was aware of that and I'm sure I said it was probably because of that but it was probably muffled by the way too loud music. Makes sense even if they were the last remaining Pioneer IIIs in existence but there is an RDC-1 in Brazil seen occasionally in this video which carries on the Pioneer III story abroad.

Unlike the Arrow I's they never got that second lease on life out in California.

Well I can't call it EMUs of SEPTA or motors of SEPTA as I'm covering more than that. Including the toasters and the maintenance diesels too eventually.

True but hes just showing the units septa has used. Dont be so critical. Im a huge electrical nerd and yes the technical term is motor since it uses electricity but geez dont go after Thunderbolt. He modeled this off another youtubers series with a similar name. Its perfectly fine. Everyone seems to like this

Sort of. It's what inspired the current Silverliner family today

No that looks like Overbrook PA to me

Oh ok. great video!

Yeah I noticed shortly after uploading. The other episodes luckily don't have the issue

I noticed that

I will most likely do that eventually.

They were also empty shells i think too.

No

I just commented outside of this thread...but is the one music set on this video from sim copter?

They're all listed in the credits

thanks also awesome intro

Trust me remasters fixing that issue are in the works. These early episodes make me cringe
