[@Marlo1992]

Thanks a lot for uploading this, a lot of memories here

[@mollsmyre]

Your Welcome, Glad you liked it. I certainly have some great memories of the day at Summerlee with the Guys making me feel so welcome.

Those houses have a nice view of the trams:)

[@mollsmyre]

They certainly have.

I went to summer lee today for my school trip

[@mollsmyre]

Great place. Hope you enjoyed it.

[@tedmiles2110]

I know about Criech, Beamish and other museums with tram collections; this is now to me. My Scots ancestors would be glad to see it! TM, San Francisco, CA, USA

[@mollsmyre]

Summerlee certainly is a great place. Well worth a visit. I really must pay another visit soon.

[@mollsmyre]

I was shocked to realise the last time I was at Summerlee was 10 years ago so I had to pay another visit. It is a brilliant place celebrating Scotland's Industrial past,very much like Beamish only in a smaller scale. Ah The Hillman Imp.What a car.

[@mollsmyre]

Thanks Alan. It really is a brilliant place to visit. I cant believe the last time I was there was 10 years ago.It really brings back memories,you tend to forget the amount of things that have disappeared in the name of progress..

[@odfamily177]

I went there today great fun

[@peteknight8458]

Another excellent video.This is my second time of watching it as I was up at 0 stupid hundred because I went to bed too early.Too bleary to make a comment at the time! Regards, Pete

I believe the old steam crane came from Dalzell Steel Works late 70s or early 80s. We used to move it all over the works by coupling a locomotive to it. It was used for derailments and heavy lifting. Great to see this👍, I'll have to take the Grandchildren for a visit.

[@mollsmyre]

Apologies I have only just found your message. Certainly would have been something to see the Steam Crane and Loco in operation. Hope you managed to pay a visit with the Grandkids. Wonderful place.

[@jmgrant6881]

@@mollsmyre Yes I did take the grandkids. Its a wonderful place, we enjoyed ourselves.

[@alanwindypics]

Cracking video Tommy, that's another 'hidden gem' that I hadn't heard of before, I reaaly must do a Scottish Tour one of these days. They have some really nice items of our once great industrial heritage on display, what a pity museums seem to be the only place where they can be found these days.

[@jennym777luna]

I used to go there all the time as a kid in the early 2010s

[@mollsmyre]

Wonderful place. I have not been there in ages. Really must plan another visit.

[@mina-um2cm]

Im going to summerlee next tuesday!

[@mollsmyre]

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

[@mollsmyre]

Thanks Nathan. Yes you are right and 3 industrial standard gauge.There was also a class 303/311 emu all covered up.

[@mollsmyre]

Thanks Pete, I'm glad you liked the video.Hope you managed to get a good sleep.

[@AndreiTupolev]

Don't think I've heard of that place before. All looks very interesting, a bit like Beamish. Wouldn't it be nice to see that Garratt in steam? :D Good to see they haven't forgotten one of the finest examples of Glaswegian engineering (12:49) :P

[@SteamboatWilley]

Sadly the Garratt has deteriorated somewhat since this video was filmed.

[@nathan83699]

Brillant video tommy, was that a couple of standered gauge locos that i saw and an arifca loco?

[@SteamboatWilley]

The three industrials outside are a Hudswell Clarke 0-6-0 side tank, a Sentinel and an Andrew Barclay diesel. The Gibb & Hogg 0-4-0 saddle tank is inside the museum, and the South African Garratt was built by North British in Glasgow.
