This is a great way to see the beautiful countryside riding on tram especially up front with the Tram driver thank you and have a really wonderful weekend thank you.💗🚂🚋🚋💗
Very good, Tim! I sent you a link to this tramway. Everything is different here, you arrive on the narrow gauge railway and continue on the standard gauge. Best regards from Hans and Cheers 🍻🇦🇹.
Hello Robert, you are right, central Europe is very scenic. I usually include the track gauge in the video description. Have you seen the video on YT where a car has driven into the side of a tram sporting a massive "You should have gone to Specsavers" advert along the full length of the tram? I'm not sure if it's a genuine accident or a staged advert, but however you look at it, it's effective 😊.
Thank you Tim for a very interesting video of a line, and of a town, both of which I have visited. I am sorry to hear that your visit to Austria in May 2023 was 'steamless'. When I visited Austria in October 2021 as a lone traveller, I had two rides under steam power. One was on the Schafbergbahn rack railway at St Wolfgang. The other was on the Mariazell museum tramway!.
Hi, the Schafbergbahn rack railway was out of action for maintenance on the day I was booked to ride, fortunately the tour company I was traveling with replaced it with a trip on the narrow gauge Mixnitz railway to Sankt Erhard. Prior to Covid I have enjoyed some wonderful holidays to Austria, with plenty of steam, but post Covid things just aren't the same. I’d like to have seen steam in action on the Museum Tramway.
Εξαιρετική εργασία, σας αξίζουν πολλά συγχαρητήρια! Σας παρακαλώ, βοηθείστε και τη δημοτική αρχή της Θεσσαλονίκης στην Ελλάδα να ανακατασκευάσει σε λειτουργική κατάσταση τα δύο εναπομείναντα οχήματα tram βελγικής κατασκευής! Η δημοτική αρχή δεν έχει σχετική εμπειρία και χρειάζεται απαραιτήτως τη βοήθεια και την τεχνογνωσίας σας και σας ευχαριστώ εκ των προτέρων...
Γεια σας, χαίρομαι που σας άρεσε το βίντεο και λυπάμαι που ακούω ότι υπάρχουν δύο τραμ βελγικής κατασκευής που περιμένουν να αποκατασταθούν στη Θεσσαλονίκη. Διάβασα ότι το τελευταίο τραμ της Θεσσαλονίκης κυκλοφόρησε το 1957. Χωρίς ίχνη για να κινούνται τα τραμ, ο καλύτερος τρόπος για να τα δεις να τρέχουν ξανά είναι να τα δώσω σε ένα μουσείο τραμ της ίδιας ονομασίας είτε στην Ελλάδα είτε στο Βέλγιο. Καλή τύχη.
@@Timsvideochannel1 Φίλε μου, σε ευχαριστώ που έδωσες σημασία στο σχόλιό μου. Δεν είναι ότι δύο οχήματα βελγικής κατασκευής βρίσκονται σε εξαιρετικά άσχημη κατάσταση! Είναι και ένα δεύτερο: η εταιρία συντήρησης τροχαίου υλικού χάρισε στο Δήμο Θεσσαλονίκης τη μελέτη ανακατασκευής των δύο οχημάτων. Και ο Δήμος Θεσσαλονίκης τί έκανε; Έβαλε τη μελέτη στο συρτάρι; Ζητώ βοήθεια! Δεν μπορούν να συμβαίνουν αυτά τα πράγματα στην Ελλάδα!!!
@@trenomanis Γεια σας, ζω στην Αγγλία όπου έχουμε μουσεία τραμ όπως αυτά στο Crich www.tramway.co.uk/ και στο Beamish www.beamish.org.uk/ Κάνω βίντεο για τραμ και σιδηροδρόμους, δεν ανήκω σε ομάδα διατήρησης, αλλά ίσως αξίζει τον κόπο να επικοινωνήσω με τα δύο μουσεία που έχω αναφέρει για βοήθεια. Ελπίζω να έχετε επιτυχία
Very beautuful scenery and nice 2 know The museum has preserved the tram car ? On the isle of man which is an island in middle of the irish sea .they also have a .museum and tram cars which take you 2 top of the mountain called snafell which is nice / scenic wiews of country and.looks down on the irish sea. Belfast northern ireland
Hello, the Mariazell tram museum is very good with both steam and electric trams in full working order. I have visited the trams on the Isle of Man, including the Snaefell Mountain Railway. The nice thing about the Isle of Man tram system is that is not a preserved relic, it is a working system transporting people around the island just as it has done for over 100 years.
Hello, I've enjoyed some wonderful trips to Austria over the years and the scenery is awesome. I will continue to visit private museum railways where the customer experience still matters above operational convenience.
Hi, I'm glad you enjoyed it. The video was uploaded at 4K and it shows up on my screen at 4K. I hope the issue is resolved because it is a much better watch at a higher resolution.
The tram line is standard gauge. The interesting point is the one already made by Johann Peraus. The adjoining modernised railway line is narrow gauge! Actually that line is just 76 centimetres,, a gauge which was often used in the Austria-Hungary empie.
@@Fan652w Then it's the placement of Tim's camera that gave me the illusion of the track being broad gauge. 5ft, 3 inches is the gauge of the Victorian railways here in Australia, though the trams run on the 4ft, 8.5inch standard gauge through Melbourne's streets.
@@Fan652w Yes, this railway comes from St. Pölten to Mariazell, it's Bosnian gauge (760mm) and is 84 Km long. In earlier times I mean more than 40 years ago the line goes to Guswerk and was 91 Km long. Cheers, Hans 🍻🇦🇹
It's good that you got something worthwhile from the tour, Tim, but there seems to have been a distinct lack of honesty in the advertising. I hope you have better luck next time. Of course, the organisers of such tours always include enough small print to allow themselves to wriggle out of meeting their promises.
Hello Jim, I don't know whether it was the tour company or the providers who were at fault, but however you look at it the Austrian segment of this tour didn't happen as advertised in their brochure. I can book my own trips on regular trains, I travel with this company because they often charter the trains, sadly when they withdraw their advertised trip and replace it with a bog standard train ride on a regular train, they take away the reason I booked with them in the first place. There are other tour providers offering similar holidays out there and I will be giving some of them a go, as well as arranging more of my own trips.
@@JimNicholls Jim, I've just returned from a railway photographic tour to South Africa where I lost the first 3 days to food poisoning and I returned home with an unpleasant bout of Covid which I'm having trouble shaking off, I'm still testing positive seven days after arriving home. The tour looked amazing, but the organizer made it clear that the itinerary was an aspiration and the chances of everything going to plan was almost zero and he wasn't wrong. Where else in the world do the overhead wires get stolen or the doors and windows get nicked whilst the passenger carriages are stabled overnight in a siding? There is a reason why there are high fences topped with razor wire everywhere. The kids were all smiling, skipping around like spring lambs, everyone was curious about the 70 white men of mostly retirement age descending on their township armed with cameras and tripods. Most of the locals had never seen a steam locomotive, they all wanted to pose with the Black Maria, taking photos with their mobile phones. The tin huts that made up the townships were very basic and the temperature dropped as low as -7C at night. The water carrying waggons that were to have kept our locomotives topped up got trapped the wrong side of a flood damaged bridge. One of our locomotives failed to steam properly. I felt sorry for the tour organiser, he was attempting the impossible in a difficult country, basically he was trying to recreate 1960's freight and passenger trains for us to both photograph and travel in. Everything that could go wrong went wrong, yet as I go through the photos and videos I realise just what an amazing experience it was and I look forward to sharing the videos over the coming months. The difference between this tour and most of the others I participate in was the organiser’s honesty.
@@Timsvideochannel1 That sounds like an amazing experience, Tim. As to the overhead wires, well here in Christchurch NZ, some parts of the city still have overhead power supply, and the latest trend for low-lifes is to steal the wires for the copper they contain. People are left without electricity, and a kindergarten was unable to open on multiple occasions recently as the thieves don't stop at once, they come back and steal the replacement wires. What with that and many armed robberies, and ram-raids on stores, usually by young teenagers in stolen cars, this place becomes more like the wild west every day. I'm sorry to hear of your health problems, and I hope you are soon 100% again. Covid is still killing people here, although no-one seems to take much notice anymore. I'll look forward to the upcoming videos.
@@JimNichollsHello Jim, it's strange to look up at the overhead catenary with no contact wire, how do people manage to steal wires carrying high voltage electricity? I guess they short circuit the wires using something like a scaffold pole to trip the circuit switches. Here in the UK the problem was tackled by banning cash transactions at scrap dealers, forcing them to pay out money via bank transfers. Putting the onus on scrap dealers has been reasonably successful, after all they know where the metal came from and knowing where the money went helps the police catch the criminals. Ram raids have been reduced with the installation of concrete bollards in many of our High Streets and outside vulnerable shops. Crime in our inner cities is a real problem, but we are forbidden to talk about it because most of it is committed by certain ethnicities. I never thought of New Zealand as the "Wild West", it seems that there is a rise in criminality in many countries that were once considered safe, due to lax law enforcement and a changing demographic, although evidence of youngsters creating doughnuts can be seen all over New Zealand. I don't think those who commit crime consider the consequences of their actions on the wider community. I'm feeling a lot better today, hopefully I'll be back to normal soon.
Hi, "Google Translate" is a lot better these days than it used to be. The Austrian scenery is gorgeous, as are the pretty villages. I'm pleased you enjoyed the video.

Thank you, I didn't know about the tram, so it came as an unexpected and pleasant surprise 😊.
Thank you for sharing views of your beautiful country.
