Being able to get on the vehicle is simply essential - a whole different experience to just looking at it from outside. I remember my first visit to the London Transport museum at Covent Garden. There was an old double decker bus there, which was fairly interesting, but this was a rare exhibit where you could go inside. So in I went and up the stairs, and wow! The cramped space, the patterns on the seats, and the smell! I was instantly transported back decades to being a little kid being allowed to go upstairs on the bus. That one moment was worth the entrance fee alone.

I had a similar experience in the railroad museum in Baltimore, where one could get into an old caboose. (I also learned the word caboose there. 😂) This however seems even cooler - far more like the experience I had a couple years ago visiting the Medlánky tram depot in Brno, Czechia, when Brno trams were celebrating... can't remember how many decades it was, but lots, earlier even than 1875. 😅 The vehicles on display were not THAT old, all just second half of the 20th century I believe, but you did have the additional experience of being in a tram depot. So the Oslo transport museum seems a lot like the best of both worlds from this video.

The ski tram reminded me of when I was a volunteer at the Sydney tram museum. Sydney's Toast Rack style trams could easily carry 128 passengers and they used to be great at Bondi Beach on summer days - if a sudden change of weather came through they were great for taking lots of people home in a hurry. And I remember one day going into the main workshop to see our Berlin tram had a smashed up front. I asked what happened and was told that in Europe the tram controls are the opposite way around to British style trams. One of our volunteers had been driving Australian trams all day and had to then drive the tram we got from Berlin. He had to stop so he cut power. But he had been driving Australian trams all day. So he actually increased power. The tram slammed into the end of a Sydney R class tram. The Berlin tram which was small and designed to fit through medieval streets had its front end smashed in but the Sydney tram had a massive wooden block in front of it as a buffer bar which only suffered a few paint flecks damage.

I visited this museum in 2011. Back then, I was particularly impressed by the streamlined tram from the 1930s, whose streamlined, rounded rear end could be folded out to accommodate skis. (It will probably never have travelled so fast that the streamline would have had an energy-reducing effect 😄.)
@musiqtee
@musiqtee 11 ай бұрын
I agree, the ‘goldfish’ (gullfisk) trams were ahead of their time. Not so much for the streamlining (the front was pretty flat…), but for their almost monocoque aluminium body. The traction control was semiautomatic and pneumatic, but various issues led to so many variations during the years. As a former member and volunteer at the museum, I got a trip on one around ’95 or so. As I started frequenting Oslo as a teenager, these were still running the longest city line, a combo of a westbound and an eastbound line (9 Jar - Ljabru). Being a young nerd, I wasn’t interested in those old dinosaurs, so the first tram I rode was a brand new SL79 articulated tram. First with ‘chopper’ thyristor control, and very last units built in Norway. These are taken out of service now, being replaced by CAF trams. Now, that makes ME feel old at only (!?) 58… 👍

Though beware, the viking ship museum is adding a big new building (with better climate control; the ships are hard to care for) and will be closed for a few years; at least into 2026, probably 2027. On the other hand, the new national museum is rather nice. The first floor has halls by period, and each is a mix of art, architecture, and handicrafts. Makes a lot of sense in context, instead of splitting the different crafts into different museums.

The zoo itself moved to a new location on the edge of the city and is also really nice, but of course we're not here for any of that! Both are just a short walk from Emmen train station, connected to Zwolle and Almelo.

Tim, I could not help but notice on the map that you have not been to Latvia yet, and as a person who has been to Latvia several times, I cannot help but think it is a gross oversight. I think Liepāja would be right up your alley; not the least because it is right up my father's alley, it's been his go-to holiday destination for about a decade. 🙂 They have a largely abandoned Russian military base going back to tzarist Russia. They have a beach with very, very white sand. They have a tram line. They have a lake with a bird sanctuary - if I understood father's ramblings on that one. 😅 They have extremely eclectic architecture with a strong Art Nouveau flavour. And probably lots of other things I'm forgetting about. Also, cats everywhere. I don't know if that's a selling point for you, but it is for us. Update: I also remembered a moveable bridge right next to the tram terminus, next to the old military base on the other side of the canal. It's one that opens like a gate, if that's of interest. (It certainly was to me, but I'm no expert on moveable bridges.)

I love how he keeps using different Norwegian greetings 😁 Also, fun fact: there's a station on the Holmenkollen line that only stops on the way up (towards Frognerseteren). This station (Gullerråsen) is built in a curve and was built for older, shorter trains, meaning that on the way down, the newer, longer trains curve away from the platform so much that it was deemed unsafe to (dis)embark. Also, on the whole stretch between Majorstua and Frognerseteren, the doors of the rear carriage don't open because, again, the stations were built for shorter trains, and the new trains are too long =)

Petter, if you read this, I'd like to say I enjoyed your map. And I'd also like to say that the video on the highest point in Denmark seems to have been omitted.

Yet another entertaining and informative vid from one of my top KZbin creators - absolutely love following you round Tim! ❤ If you ever make it back to UK soil, please, please, please (!) come and visit me in Wemyss Bay (the Inverclyde one) in Scotland - we have an incredibly beautiful train/ferry station with a wondrous history (I think voted the most beautiful station in the uk numerous times?!) plus there's even a fantastical community charity bookshop in one of the old waiting rooms to boot! You're more then welcome!

I just have to say how much I love the style of your access statements about places you visit. You're so so good at them, they feel natural, with the flow of everything, and convey the relevant information for a huge range of people succinctly and understandably in a way that makes these off the beaten path types of tourist spots so much more accessible just because there's good information.

2:36 One of these wooden trams (no. 605) from Oslo is on static display in Amersfoort, the Netherlands. It's next to an old station from pre-grouping times, I believe it's a restaurant now but I'm not too sure on that one. Could be a fun video, I have no idea how it got there!

Great map Petter! FYI: airlines are currently considering slightly staggered seating to give a little more width. Interesting it's an old idea that's scarcely used in trains, planes & buses (nor cinemas & theatres too)...

Tim, if you ever come to the U.S. there is a great museum of Rail in Duluth MN. They also offer train rides up the shore of Lake Superior in the warmer months. I know you'd love the museum if you're ever in the area.

I remeber when the Stockholm Transport Museum(Spårvägsmuseet) was just like this with you being able to enter all old metro and tram wagons. I remember running around the old metro wagons (C2) as a kid. Today you can barely enter trough the doors... 😢

Ahh, this is the closest museum to my home (less than a km), so we have been thinking of visiting it forever, and did last year on Free Museum day (it is not very costly either). Definitely my favorite in Oslo, over Munch and National Museet. I was smiling like a kid and my wife took loads of pictures of me posing in front of ancient wagons..
