Brilliant video Dale, right up there with your best. Loved the engine carriage cafe and the museum, both a must visit. 👍 Note: the gentleman that showed you around the museum and his lady co worker were fabulous hosts and a credit to the museum and Sri Lanka.
ya mans subs are growing rapidly, that 100k coming like the trains fully deserved, symbolic of the quality video tours of remote areas most dont get to see, getting better every upload
Informative vedio which good even for local children and also for adults. We have seen this from its outside plenty of time up and down to Kandy and Colombo. But never visited. So there may be many people like me. Very interesting place for train lovers. Thank for your great video.
Wow! You just keep turning out excellent videos. I too enjoy old train museums. We have a B&O Railroad Museum here in Baltimore, in the states, that I so much enjoy visiting. And your host seemed very gracious. Keep up the good work young man, and be safe in your travels!
Firstly,Dale ,your video is much more genuine and educational than many TV programs on railways. I shall not name the programmes! Scotland,of course,was a significant part of the British contribution. Lots of engineering took place in Scotland. Engines carry the manufacturers name and the country they originated. I think the world would be a better place without government restricting travel.i would love to live wherever I like for however long I like.sri Lanka railways and buses are part of the socialist idea of cheap travel. Prices should remain low but the government can have more projects like
@@asirimudalige931 No better place is colombo because all the foreigners are comes from colombo. Anyhow they can installed this both places like they installed already in diyawannawa
No phones in the public phone box, must remind you of home.🤔 Granny !!!! I don’t think she was impressed 😂 Lovely set up for a tea room carriage 👍 A nice look at times gone bye. Stay safe
Wow.. Dale thanks for your amazing video.. we Sri Lankan’s learn from so many new things about our country and history from your videos... you made me laugh with your Scottish pride and rivalry with England... You are a very good gentleman we all Sri Lankans adore you... you don’t have to ask for subscribers.. keep it up your good work you will flood up with subscribers.. ❤️👍❤️👍
Oh my, @ 19:06 was a jump scare for me, I thought I saw a ghost at first! Lmao but it's after midnight and I just burned some trees and my eyes are heavy so u could only imagine how scary that was for me 😆 Love this dudes content I've watched like 40hrs of your vids over the past month lol I'm hooked you've found your calling keep it up, be safe out there brotha. Edit 24:22 not everyone knows what subscribe means lmao he had like no ideal what u were talking about lol
Sardines in a can spring to mind on that train! I didn't know you were so knowledgeable with the Sri Lanka train system Dale. That was very impressive my friend. My brother has been driving trains since 1976 to present day. I have learnt many things from him in the past. Informative video my friend.
Few country in world museum age equipments still in use. I remember in 80's Swiss engineer's help interduse VHF radio base railway traffic management , they wounded those system works but after 40 years still going. Aha aha.
C'"mon Dale,if you are going Trainspotting,where the hell is Spud,Renton and Sick Boy,another fine vlog,great watching your travels,it has been raining every day for the past three weeks in your Homeland,can see why you left the misery behind.
Wow what a wonderful vlog bruh. Also having a green tea with doughnut in more than 100 yeara engine room wow wonderful. Also that railway museum fantastic history with well maintain 👍🌷
Scotland more good than England, said by a proud Scot!! I was thinking Dale if the train was only seventeen pence and you can’t get a seat why not go first class it’s probably only about forty pence. Mind you we wouldn’t see the chaos then.😁 you obviously have a very strong connection and love for Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 were any of your relatives ever involved in the buildings there? 🌸🌸
There is actually 1 steam powered engine that's being charted from time to time. Class B2B 213, built in Vulcan Foundry, 1922. I think JF Tours rents this engine (not clear on this).
St Joseph College (Maradana, Colombo 15 ??) and St Thomas College , Mount Lavinia, just outside Colombo are famous schools and functioning. Thanks for you excellent commentary.
There is, or was also St Thomas’s College, Gurutalawa, a boarding school, also upcountry, and boys would travel on the train at the beginning and end of term to get to school there. That is why there are two signs for St Thomas’s. I do not know whether the school at Gurutalawa still exists. My aunt was a matron there in the 1950’s and 60’s, and had a little house just down the road from the school with an absolutely splendid mountain view. There was a special class of people who worked the railways, and the jobs were highly sought after and had a lot of status.
@@lindyashford7744 Thank you for that infor about up country St Thomas boarding school. It probably was there to cater for children of British family at that time. I am ofcourse was from Colombo, so did not know about this boarding. school.
@@lindyashford7744 Your are correct Lindy. It is a boarding school with a lot of extra curriculum activities. It has an historical connection to St Thomas Mount Lavinia. Thanks for educating me about this wonderful school.Their web: stcguru.edu.lk
Great vid Dale! it great to see how the railways worked back in the days and how it still works today is not a big difference. Keep up the great work I love to see more of those great vids thank you.

As someone of Sri Lankan I had worked on Network Rail and London Underground, so it;s cool to see the UK involvement in Sri Lanka's railway.
I'm from sri lanka and I live in the uk. I love all your vids about sri lanka and all other countries like Indonesia. Keep it up
Neat and clean country!!
Way better than India 😂

Awesome look around the railway and train history of Sri Lanka. Amazing that the English technology has lasted and is still being used today.
Railway museum was AMAZING Dale,cheers for showing your viewers who like me might never see such history close up 😍😍😍

Jesus dale knows more stuff about srilanka than that coffee shop guy
Visit Victoria Dam, Tea Museam , Kandy Museam( Behind Temple of Tooth Relic), Garrison Cemetry , Pinnawela Elephant Opernage if you are around Kandy
You should get sponsored by coke zero
U cn sy dt again.
Sheldon Cooper would've loved this vlog. He would come all the way down here to see that American train engine.
That's what I was thinking the whole video
That's what I was thinking the whole time
Oh aye, Dale is a straight forward and fearless guy. Love your energy. ❤
How cool are the old trains! Love the history of places.
Thanks for the tour!

Good idea.kandy is the best place lounch this restaurant.

I'm a very simple person. I see Dale, I click. Love your videos!
Little-known fact: if you find any trains from that era or earlier, anywhere in the world, they are almost definitely from Newcastle :)
P.S. There's also a reason why Sydney Harbour Bridge resembles the bridge over the Tyne ;)
Wey aye 👍
@@Dale_Philip That's reet mi marra 😂
Your vids are getting us through this pandemic - thank you SO much Dale!! 🙏🏻
Very interesting video loved it, thanks again from your celtic sister😊😘🇮🇪🍀

1st class isn't on all trains and on this particular route it will be sold out as soon as tickets are available 30 days in advance.
There is actually 1 steam powered engine that's being charted from time to time. Class B2B 213, built in Vulcan Foundry, 1922. I think JF Tours rents this engine (not clear on this).
It would be really cool to ride on that.
Your so much interest and knowledge about trains reminds me of Sheldon Cooper😂
Your videos are amazing! Love watching them
