YouTube has thousands of train videos — but searching them is messy. Fishplate helps you find videos by loco numbers, stock, locations, headcodes, operators, and more — even when the uploader didn’t put it in the description.
It indexes titles/descriptions and scans video frames, then lets the community fill in missing details (points + badges included). Free to use, still building, more features coming.
It doesn’t host videos — it embeds from YouTube, so views go to the original upload.
Why the name? Making connections.
