Been to a Crich several times a wonderful place. Remember riding on the London trams in public service in the late 1940’s and some of the provincial trams in public service in later years.
An excellent overview, made all the better because the filming was presumably done utilising a tripod, thus ensuring steady picture quality, as opposed to the very many wobbly efforts to be seen on RUclips.
As a model railroader, I would love to have one of the double deckers for for the streetcar section. I did acquire 2 die-cast models but they were 00 scale(1:72) and did not fit under the wire (HO 1:87). They will eventually end up as flatcar loads. And thank you for great shots of some beautiful cars, even the one under restoration(got to start some where).
I would loved to have gone on a tram they are so weird in looking with all the chains and wires and rails more fun with no roof better bodybuilding of them are good
A late friend of mine who was a keen tram enthusiast ,told me that a survey had been done to prove that people will ride trams as opposed to taking a bus . Well should this be the case we are obviously missing out in places in the UK where bus services are no longer viable.
It's for the positive and negative lines for the electricity. For trams the metal tracks act as the negative line but trolleybus wheels are made of rubber
Probably the best outdoor museum in the UK!!!! Didn't the Isle of Mann used to have a bunch of old transport oddballs?
Lovely trams in a great living museum. Nice to see the Bluebird back in its original colours.

These trams are absolutely stunning, thank you for posting!
My pleasure, such a wonderful collection they have there!
I love the 106 tram, due to it being the exact model of tram used in my town from 1903 to 1929, I should go here oneday.
Visited this place recently absolutely lovely day thoroughly enjoyed it

Many thanks, having a tripod certainly helps, though I certainly wish my hands were as steady as this!
