Great video Tom I had a ride on Tornado on Saturday 31st August 2024 on the Great Central Railway and I really enjoyed it. Tornado is a fantastic locomotive

Did you know..........They actually used PASSENGER slip coaches on branch lines in the 50's/60's same principal. This was so an express non stopping train could drop a slip coach at a station. My Grandad was on the railways and told me about them when I was small.

What a beautiful tramcar! Truly a credit to its builders and to its restorers.

What a wonderfully comfortable, classy tram. A shame we didn't have them in Sydney except for a brief exoeriment with double deck electric trams early 20thc. Odd because our former steam trams were largely double deckers and ran for decades along Elizabeth Street.

A stunning restoration, but, apart from the jazzy interior, in what way was it a "completely new design of tram"?

What a handsome vehicle, and so evocative of the era it came from. Those who restored it should be so proud of their efforts - what a superb job they have done!

It was the Felthams that gave London's trams the modern look. Leeds bought them in the early 1950s and the 'cars' rather liked their sleeper tracks compared with the concrete-based ones of London.

I wonder if the controls and breaking system is still the original as fitted by LCC? In a 1970s book, a former LCC/LT tram-driver mentions how many drivers were intimidated by it and for the last few years in London only a few drivers would drive it.

There are a few new buses and trains that look really wonderful. I like the new routemasters aesthetically, although their functionality needs an upgrade. And I think the S Stock on the District Line etc. will be remembered very fondly in 50-60 years time.

I wonder how similar it is to the North American PCC (Presidents Conference Committee) cars that the presidents of American street railways established in the 1930s to develop the cars that are still running down Market Street in San Francisco and a few routes in Philadelphia. Musing, because they too are quite comfortable.
@frasermitchell9183 2 ай бұрын
It was built before the technologies in the PCC car were introduced, so has no modern (1930s !!) control equipment, and the trucks do not have resilient wheels, that make the PCC car such an advance. However, it was a huge improvement over the rather ancient trams that were operating at the time.

re the pull curve system---- developed I presume on the cable car line which rose from the flat bottom of Rattray St in Dunedin.. travelled quite steeply for about 150m then turned left as it approached St Josephs Cathedral. I probably went on it as a pre-schooler as far as where the Roslyn-Maori Hill tramway line branched off... both systems were gone by 1954. The High St cable cars looked very much like the line I walked down in San F from hill crest to Fishermans Wharf area..-- steep and in plateau-steps with stunning views. I remember it in 1957 just before the line--to our present day tourism focussed regret--- was closed.
