A great view of the journey. Just a pity there isn’t a transcript of the information given during the course of the journey.
Electric motor tramcar trollies are as decent to come by. They'd certainly make a premise to personify them as characters in, per say, a children's book series like the _Railway Series._ A book to base this astonishing electric mountain railway to counterpart the "Mountain Engines" _Railway Series_ book would quintessentially adlive as a sequel most definitely.
Many thanks for this fascinating history
Why did Steam never run past the Dhoon Quarries?
Could 34 have pulled a manx steam railway carriage instead of an MER Trailer?
Very interesting, and highly recommended.
