Turntable in action at Barrow Hill Roundhouse, Derbyshire
Просмотров 1002 года назад
Railway roundhouses were constructed in the 19th and early 20th centuries to house and service steam locomotives. At the heart of most roundhouses was a turntable, where locomotives and other rolling stock could be turned around for the return journey. Radiating out from this central turntable - and thereby dictating the circular shape of roundhouses - were spokes of track where the locomotives...

Просмотров 654 года назад

I love living here on the Isle of Man. I also went to see them 2 weeks ago and saw 14! I might even go today if I’m lucky
Wow, 14, that's brilliant. It's about time I made a return trip!
Come here to see wallabies running….left disappointed
Strewth, Bruce! The bush has gone really downmarket these past few years! The weather's shithouse and it's full of whingeing poms!"
They are not Australian they are manx
Wallabies are so cute. They are successfully feral in New Zealand too.
My grandad used to work there.
Thanks to you guys I Can hear Lions Growling or whatever they do at midnight. which I don't mind obviously. I really Hope that non of these Animals manage to escape your zoo. Can You Imagine if there was a Lion on the Loose in Cantley somewhere haha
How many warty pigs Do they have ???
Not sure. Maybe 7 or 8, but I guess it can vary depending on how many piglets they have!
Do you think inland brown bears are one of the most exciting non-man animals? The reason I called "grizzly" bears inland brown bears was to distinguish them from the coastal brown bears of North America.
It is disingenuous to say, "Look at all these people who are too close to these bears" when you are standing right there photographing the bears.
WOW, l really enjoyed it.
I have magical childhood memories of Silverdale Glen as a child in the 70s. Many a happy holiday there. I loved the carousel.
I can well believe it. It's a magical place, and that carousel is very special...and works without the need for power from fossil fuels too. Brilliant!
@@platypusmanblogger4281 Yes! I'm so happy to know it's still there.
I was born an live in Montana. These tourists are completely stupid an have absolutely no common sense or respect for animals. . I wish they would have all gotten attack. Maybe next time, they stay in the damn car. Or better yet don't come to our state at all
A stunning bird, great camera work, thank you.
Thank you. Although it's relatively common the Tui quickly became our favourite of all NZ birds during a 7 weeks tour of the country in 2019.
people really gotta stop treating yellowstone like an amusement park
Yellowstone is a mess. I feel sorry for the rangers and the wildlife.
Cute and fat bears....
Fat from snacking on the last lot of people with cameras lol
A classic example of people placing themselves in a potentially life threatening situation. Stupid is forever unless it kills you.
What are we’re those people thinking? Those bears could have been upon them in a blink of an eye! Good thing the ranger got there. SMH!
The man taking photos went missing but one of those Grizzlies was spotted a few days later taking photos of people with a camera that looks exactly the same.
