Such a glorious mechanical system it is. This is a Von Roll VR102 ropeway built in 1976 to replace the original Oehler gondola lift from 1954. Von Roll VR102's first appeared in Flims in 1969. As of today only the prototype(the Flims one) remains today, but it was replaced by a Garaventa gondola in 1997 and moved to Chur-Kanzeli-Brambreusch where it is now and has had a couple of parts replaced(bottom station pulleywheel + pylons) but it is otherwise the only surviving original Von Roll VR102 ever since the death of Saas Fee's Spielboden gondola in 2016. Doppelmayr used the Von Roll VR102 grips for their first-generation detachable ski lifts and only a handful of those exist today. One in Uttendorf that leads up to the Rudolfshutte, one in Bulgaria that's over 6 KILOMETERS long, and one in Argentina that used to be in Schruns, Silvretta Montafon(that one's pylons actually remain in Schruns, they were reused for the modern 6-MGD that's there now), and some chairlifts in Lebanon and Japan. Glory and mechanical beauty is something that a modern ski lift will never have. Doppelmayr were good in the 20th century but are now the most evil and monopolistic ropeway company in the world as people now hate any ski lifts that are not the latest generation from Doppelmayr(D-Line lifts), whether they be modern or old. Capacity expansion and excessive redevelopment should've stopped altogether in 2015. That's when modernization and modern ski lifts invaded my life... At least the modern Wangs gondola is still entirely mechanical. Since Dopplemayr started making the D-Lines, the ski lift manufacturers started cramping digital city tech into their latest ski lifts... It's utterly disgraceful, that's what it is! Mountains should have non-mainstream mechanical things therefore, not mainstream city-like digital abominations produced by Doppelmayr, Leitner, Poma and Bartholet, besides, modern ski lifts actually have no mechanical difference to them whereas the old 20th-century ones do. In the future it will be good riddance to the modern scrap heaps and infinite happy operations for the wonderful old jewellery from the 20th century that a modern ski lift will never have at all ever again.
Hallo Thomas, darf ich einen Screenshot aus dem Video verwenden für meinen Blog ropewaygrips.ch? Ich würde dich und das Video natürlich in der Beschreibung verlinken. Ein Bild von 1:58
@@Thomas28168 ja sicher kenn ich ihn. Ich suche schon lange ein Foto der Niederdruckrolle beim Einkuppeln. Ich seh im Video ein Blitzlicht, ist das Clauds Kamera etwa?

Danke. Schon viel besser. :)

Klar, kein Problem. Gruss Thomas
