hey, that 6102 ex-yellow tow tram is now in the breakdown at TTO Noordzee near the De Panne Esplanade tram stop

Nice camera work! Lisa praised your steady hand and views that let the viewer "be there" rather than showing lots of artsy angles.

Thank you again for sharing this with us. Lisa will be traveling around Germany based out of Munich after Worldcon and is looking forward to doing a lot more videos when she gets home in October.

Looks like great fun! Lisa and I have experienced something similar (without the boats) at The Great Oregon Steam-Up in Brooks, Oregon: lots of stream traction, a steam sawmill, a steam grain mill (used to mill grain grown in an adjacent field), but also a steam rail crane, and electric trolleys running around property, and a variety of small distillate engines. The location in Brooks (Powerland) contains lots of different museums, like a fire truck engine museum, a Whyte truck museum, a Harley-Davidson museum, and a Caterpillar museum, one of which is steam powered. Not that you're likely to be in Oregon in early August, but it is great fun. Lisa used to be a volunteer at the Oregon Electric Railway Museum that is one of the many museums on site at Powerland.

I'm sure if you'd not been holding the camera you'd have been doing the same dance at 16:34

Issues with the Tay bridge. Wonderful understatement

Willie Tescos used do an amazing breakfast until they banned smoking and the customer base vanished. First step on a day of hangover meeting many friends from the night before from Broughton st

Subsistence on Scotland st

I remember when the tunnel was open you would walk up to Waverley. But the piles of Waverley market pierced the railway tunnel

Greatly appreciate your technical correction of this being a cable-hauled incline, not a true funicular. We got to ride a similar conveyance, albeit a much more industrial one, in Japan at the Seikan Tunnel between Honshu and Hokkaido. We want to say that we thought that your camera work was spot on, and your editing was fantastic.

Thank you for sharing this! And the spa sounds like it would be great as well.

Thank you for sharing this! Lisa now says she's got to see if she'll have a chance to visit on her post-Worldcon travel.

That funicular seems to be overkill for the traffic level, but great fun to play on. I can think of a number of Edinburgh hills where it would be good to have something similar.

Needs more station cats!

The white linen tea-service dining special looks especially charming

Thanks for that. I loved the mix of the old and new. Lineside phones, defibrilators, electric wheelchairs, and 1950's technology. The loo you showed near the end brought back the smell of train soap. But the plush compartment you had seemed odd because I thought it should have had pictures of distant railway lines, and a metal handle to turn to switch the heating on and off.

Beautiful video, and excellent editing! Thanks for sharing this with us. It would have been great to have traveled with you!

Ah, health and safety weren't for the common people, then just give them a pick and a penny a day and send them to their box!

😂💩🐎👍👍👍

Called Road Apples for a reason! The electric tram was heralded as removing this pollution from our streets.

Very nice, thank you.

Nice ride, thanks for sharing. 👍

Thank you! Lisa says she really appreciates the driver's-eye view of how the line looks.

Very informative, well researched and entertaining. Thanks

Love this, another thing I did not know. Look at W&AK Johnston they have a great history in Edinburgh

Actual useful transit

I remember in the 1970s a gang of bank robbers executed their getaway through the tunnel, exiting at Scotland Street, where they had a car ready. This was well before the Princes Mall (Waverley Shopping Centre) existed. On that site was a Victorian fruit and vegetable market and even at the time of the robbery it was possible to go right along the tunnel’s length. During the Second World War the tunnel was earmarked as an air raid shelter, though I don’t know whether it was much used. Later part of it was used as a short-lived mushroom farm. I only know this because I worked at what is now The Balmoral Hotel and there are tunnels from that, or were, going hither and thither. Interesting upload though, thank you.

As a Edinburgh postie I used to deliver mail to Scotland street along Royal Crescent,also as we for a time stayed in Cumberland Street when I was young we used to play in the park that was at the foot of Scotland Street,often saw the boarded up tunnel and wondered at the time where it led, found this out in later years. 🤔

Nice!

That is some master-level braking there. I wonder if the driver also does passenger trains? I think German shunters are commonly diesel-hydraulic rather than diesel-electric -- the engine sound is very different than US shunters.

I well remember these diesel "shunters" I used to see in my hometown of Mumbai, India, upto the 1990s, I believe ... loving to see their fans rotating on the topside of their hoods from a Foot Overbridge in the Mumbai Central - Dadar - Bandra area, whenever the opportunity presented itself. 🥰 But oh, no! I could never enter the cabin! 😪

It’s by Sainte-Catherine Metro station in Brussels

I haven't seen a carousel in many years! I wonder where this is.

R.I.P Prince Albert.

Robert Peel (1788-1850) was the Founder of the first new Metropolitan Police Force at Scotland Yard in 1829.

Loved the art deco features, and the colour. 👍

There’s also the Fox River Trolley Museum in Elgin, but it’s much smaller.

I've often wondered what that building was for and assumed it was something to do with the industrial heritage - mills and the like. Thanks for researching this. I'd still like to see inside. I wonder which Council dept has the keys.

What an excellent film! Should I ever find myself again in Frankfurt, I must go and see the museum. Also, I found it impossible not to sofa-dance along with the music <3

A Zeppelin bicycle!??

Great video, loved the sign saying how many steps up, medium challenge and hard challenge. I think you definitely deserved that lovely beer too.

looks interesting, looking forward the video 👍

I worked in that building for >20yrs. It was fun knowing that it had been a cable depot. Shame Royal London have let the upkeep of the wheels go.

I shared a basement flat in Scotland Street with about ten others when I was a student. It was the only way we could afford it. Bodies everywhere. Never heard about the tunnel until years later, but this video has added much more information. Great video and the maps are excellent. Many thanks.

The inside of monorail now is pure shit full of leds, in 90's it was amazing with great animatronics, decorations and a magic atmosphere!

Building was used as a garage by Lothian police in 1970's

Fantastic video, thanks for putting this together, love learning about the history of Edinburgh! 😊

Absolute brilliant vid of Scotland st tunnel I left Edinburgh 40 years ago but was often in that tunnel in the 70s used to go through it to waverly on motorbikes and look through the railings in waverly, think I walked it once, it was erie I know there was a incline but didn't notice it at the time , I was astounded to learn the southern end was blocked with shops I would have thought it could have been a tourist trail of some sort I think it was a air raid shelter and communication center during ww2

Thank you for sharing this! Lisa and I both enjoyed it. Good editing, too.
