Adhesion railway means that the locomotive is moving only by means of friction between the wheels and the tracks, no cogwheels or cables attached, which is often a feature with railways in mountainous areas.
Thank you for not only the delightful train ride to Scotlands highest village, but also for the hidden gem of the Polish relief map of Poland. My grandparents and parents arrived in Britain after the war thanks to both the Polish and British army. 🙂
A cracking little video and the relief map of Scotland was sonething i had never heard of. A lovely gesture from the Polish people who suffered so much during WW2 . All the best to you both
Yes, it's hard to believe that a village in Staffordshire, a county not known for its mountains, is the highest in the UK. Flash is just off the Leek to Buxton road. An excellent drive or cycle.
What a wonderful surprise to wake up to on a cloudy, chilly day in Canada ... a Tuesday treat from Steve and Alicja! Thank you for brightening a gloomy morning.
Video presentation, format, length, topic, and ending credit's are spot on Steve. You took us right there with you. Thank you and Alicja. Train conductor, what a gentleman, eh?
What a cute narrow gauge railway! The relief map is so cool. I usually don’t get to comment so early, but I’m up especially late. Thanks for the adventure!
Thanks Steve for going to the top of Scotland and looks windy and it is nice to Alicia with you today and here in Basingstoke hants it is windy as well thanks
Adhesion railways are those that rely on just a friction of the wheels on the rails just like you get on any mainline railway in the UK at least as opposed to things like a cog or a rack railway which you get in mountainous regions.
Another great video Steve. Just to say well done and thanks for the adventures - they’re all really entertaining and interesting. It’s also great to see you supporting and commenting on other travel You Tuber’s videos - nice touch. Cheers.
@@steve-marsh I don't mind a wee bonus video hahaha, working from home and always have TH-cam open on my private laptop which is sitting right next to my work equipment. 😬
Another cracking job Steve! As you mentioned I too first saw this in Tom Scott's video about the time when this line served the unusual purpose of being a bus replacement railway
Julia and I went to the Polish Map of Scotland about 2 weeks ago. We're thinking of holding our wedding there. You guys will get an invite! 😁 Awesome video, as always.
Great video as always guys. Remote place to live especially in the winter. I guess you would have to by a hardy soul to put up with Hoolies. Thanks again, take care.
Did this back in September while on a cold and wet weekend down in Wanlockhead and we were the only folk on the train so I'm pleased to see it looking busy here! The volunteers all do such a fantastic job, and the guy who shuts you in the carriage on the way out is an absolute gem - held up our departure for ages as he was nattering away telling us stories 😂
What a lovely little symphony in teal you two make, the colours complementing you both so well, especially the reflections off the sunglasses. A really delightful small gauge railway, which I never knew existed too, and that fantastic 3D map of Scotland, to honour the people who helped the Polish. Another gem.
Thanks for another great TH-cam video. I have driven though Wanlockhead a good few years ago on a very short holiday in Dumfries & Galloway. This is an area I really must give proper time to have a proper explore. It’s such an overlooked area of Scotland.
Have you been to Snaefell Mountain Railway? Views to England Scotland Ireland and Wales on a clear day. Teashop / cafe at both ends. And more vintage engineering and seaside at the Laxey village end. Do take a warm coat up the mountain though. But you know that....
@@steve-marsh ps engineering includes 2 more vintage railways in Laxey, an old mine and a massive water wheel. Boat / plane Fares are a bit dear especially round TT and grand prix week. Try Sail and Rail if not bringing van. Public transport is good here But lots of places more accessible with a vehicle of course.. Oh Laxey campsite is really nice Small affordable decent. And a tram stop v close. Biggest downside is that Laxey is very hilly so not great for creaky people / disabled access.
01:57: If the train driver can resist that face, I'm a ring-tailed Lemur. What a fantastic tip for our next visit with the lovely folks of The Borders.
As others have said, an adhesion railway is where the engine and carriage wheels run on the tracks as a normal railway does. Snowdon Mountain Railways is a rack & pinion. Nice to have a bonus video in the week.
Such a cool wee train, you wouldn't want to be going far on those wooden seats though😂Awesome map of Scotland👍You would think by now Alicja would know there are no flat parts in Scotland😉Cool video Steve👍
Very interesting! Wanlockhead, which is south of Glasgow, is higher than the highlands which I thought would be the....highest. Keep the excellent content coming!
Hello Steve …. Another place I’ve visited…. again, back in the day…😊 But I’m visiting Scotland at least once a year from now on making some new memories. Great video guys, regards to you both 😉😘
Now that's two places I've been meaning to visit for years! Thanks for sharing them - I'll have a better idea of what I'm looking for now, when I get lost in Eddleston! I think adhesion railways are ordinary ones - that is to say, the wheels of the vehicles simply run along rails and they're not fixed to them in any way, such as is the case with the Snowdon Mountain Railway.
Aww man, taking me back to my school days! My high school used to use the outdoor centre at Wanlochead (or Wanlocheid as we used to call it lol) Great wee mid-week surprise! thanks so much xxx
Great little surprise video Steve, it looked very remote and very chilly, but it is Scotland, I hope Noddy and Big Ears didn’t mind you borrowing their cute train, yet again only you could find the highest village in Scotland, what next I wonder! Interesting story relating to the Polish map of Scotland, we learn something new every time we are out and about with the two of you thank you 🙏 again 🤗
what a wonderful, atmospheric and "random" video! an unexpected treat for a Tuesday full of Zoom calls! charming train and village (from a distance). enjoyed the map of Scotland and the sentiment behind it. Plus a definition: an adhesion railway relies on adhesion traction to move the train. Adhesion traction is the friction between the drive wheels and the steel rail. More random videos, please! Cheers!
As soon as you put the caption on screen about Tom Scott doing a video on the railway, I knew exactly which railway it was and for what reason it existed.
Thanks for the video. Brought back childhood memories going to Leadhills for picnics with my relatives from Sanquhar where the oldest post office in uk is located
I’m so excited that I’ll be back visiting Scotland on Monday. Actually staying near Montrose for one night as we work our way north. The notes at the end of the videos have been helpful. Thanks!
Well, inspired by this video my wife and I visited the railway on Sunday morning. Nice return trip, then lunch at the Wanlockhead Inn. Then on the way home we stopped for a look at the Polish Map. Quite a feat, and what a deep ravine you have to cross over to get to it from the hotel!
Wanlockhead actually has it's own rock festival in the summer! 3 days of music, folks camped in the old bowling green with campervans behind that. It is all original bands as well. They put up a large tent at the side of the pub and the bands play (mostly) in there. It can be fun when it lashes down with rain. Being sideways on from the hill at the back of it, the water coming of the hill can sometimes run through the tent like a small river whilst you are in watching the bands. One year some of the kids who were with their parents (it is a family friendly event) started building a dam with small stones inside the tent😂. It is bloody hilly and blowy all the time from my experiences.
Hunslet is a busy suburb of Leeds, originally famous for building steam- and then diesel locomotives, so "Hunslet" was the manufacturer's label, not the name of the loco/train.
What a cute train. Great to see you both mid week. My cousin from Edinburgh is still here and she enjoyed watching too. She’s been there but not on the train 🚂 Nice video
What a cute little choo choo train...that Polish map of Scotland was a kind gesture indeed. I was waiting for the southern part of Scotland to be presented so thank you. Have a lovely day Alicja and Steve 😎😎time for my Tim's ☕

Adhesion railway means that the locomotive is moving only by means of friction between the wheels and the tracks, no cogwheels or cables attached, which is often a feature with railways in mountainous areas.
Now that all makes sense! Thank you!
Thanks 👍 saved me from looking it up
Gem of a video
Cheers!

Wonderful ❤ No scary scammers at that railway station!
What a treat to get an extra video this week, thanks guys.
Haha imagine the same scammer hanging about this wee station :D
A mid week video? Such a treat! 😊
Cheers mate, a wee bonus to confuse everyone :D
Yeah I saw the notification and thought "Hang on, it's not Saturday is it?" 😊😊
What a fantastic wee train. Great work from the volunteers!
Flash in the Peak District is the highest village in the UK, 1519 feet. Another good video. Thank you
One to visit for sure!
Yes, it's hard to believe that a village in Staffordshire, a county not known for its mountains, is the highest in the UK. Flash is just off the Leek to Buxton road. An excellent drive or cycle.
The Guard on this journey is my wee Dad and he's just showed me this, happy days!
No way! That's awesome! :)
What a wonderful surprise to wake up to on a cloudy, chilly day in Canada ... a Tuesday treat from Steve and Alicja! Thank you for brightening a gloomy morning.
Thanks so much for coming along :)

The volunteers were awesome mate!
What a cute narrow gauge railway! The relief map is so cool. I usually don’t get to comment so early, but I’m up especially late. Thanks for the adventure!
Haha cheers Erin! Late for you, early for me! :)
A nice surprise on a Tuesday morning! Looked like a fun day.
Thanks Susan! It really was :)
Facinating,, beautiful nature. Thank you for taking me again to a place I would never come otherwise.
Thanks so much! Had to slip a wee Scottish bonus video in before another overseas one this weekend!
Delightful little railway hope they can get it to Wanlockhead soon.
Never knew about any of those places cheers guys one to check out 👍
Cheers Davy!
I love seeing these wee remote places, enjoyed that, Steve and Alicja👍
Thanks Sheila! A remote wee place for sure!
Thanks Steve for going to the top of Scotland and looks windy and it is nice to Alicia with you today and here in Basingstoke hants it is windy as well thanks
Haha thanks Elaine! :)
Great work Steve you make a great couple.
Cheers John!
What an absolute joy to watch!
Thanks Marilyn!
Really enjoyed your video of Wanlockhead. Been up there several times and it's always freezing!
Haha too true!
Another fascinating video, Steve! Many thanks indeed :)
Cheers Kieron!
Your videos together are the best. kudos
A cracking little video both. What a lovely little train ride and some lovely views. Thanks for sharing Hope you are both well
Thanks a lot Robbie!
That was really really good Steve and Alicja thank you !
You are so welcome :)
Thanks for sharing. A surprise additional video.
Cheers Jim!
Fantastic video Steve😊
Cheers Shug!
It's a great wee railway! I've visited a few times over the years. They are planning to extend it to closer to Wanlockhead.
Oh great to hear!
Ah, so very nice. Thank you, Steve ! Locking forward to the next one.
Adhesion railways are those that rely on just a friction of the wheels on the rails just like you get on any mainline railway in the UK at least as opposed to things like a cog or a rack railway which you get in mountainous regions.
Thanks for the info William!
Thanks William for saving me from having to write that.
I had no doubt someone had beaten me to it, hence my perusal through the comments.
I had no idea there were so many different types of railways. Thank you.
Fascinating ❤
Going through the Ledhills towards the old mine museum is amazing as well, the hills just appear to grow straight out of the ground at the roadside.
Really want to get back here!
Hello Steve. Another well produced and thoroughly entertaining video.
Thanks so much David!
A cannot beat a small scale railway, little track,lovely journey,
So true Christine!
......such a beautiful railway. Your videos are so informative. Cheers 😎
This was a lovely surprise during a busy work morning! Thanks again to both of you! :)
Our pleasure Graeme!
Another great video Steve. Just to say well done and thanks for the adventures - they’re all really entertaining and interesting. It’s also great to see you supporting and commenting on other travel You Tuber’s videos - nice touch. Cheers.
Thanks so much Stephen! Appreciated :)
Didn't expect another video so soon, a lovely surprise 😉 That wee train is very cute hahaha.
A wee midweek bonus to confuse everyone mate :)
@@steve-marsh I don't mind a wee bonus video hahaha, working from home and always have TH-cam open on my private laptop which is sitting right next to my work equipment. 😬
That was brilliant! Thank you, you two!
Our pleasure Ian! Just a wee bonus to keep a bit of Scotland on the channel :)
Another cracking job Steve! As you mentioned I too first saw this in Tom Scott's video about the time when this line served the unusual purpose of being a bus replacement railway
Cracking wee video that, although I think he got the whole train to himself!
Great video, Steve. Didn't know about the railway nor the Polish map. Well worth a future visit.
A couple of wee gems there! :)
Julia and I went to the Polish Map of Scotland about 2 weeks ago. We're thinking of holding our wedding there. You guys will get an invite! 😁 Awesome video, as always.
Thanks so much! :)
Wanlockhead has an absolutely fantastic pub with great food and magic people.
Amazing Steve great to see you both again n on home turf again ❤it sir
Cheers Paul! Had to drop something Scottish in, about time!
Now that's what you call a flying visit!!!
Loved this video! That map of Scotland was pretty amazing!
Great video as always guys. Remote place to live especially in the winter. I guess you would have to by a hardy soul to put up with Hoolies. Thanks again, take care.
Haha yes! Cheers James!

He seems to be a bit of a legend!
Wishing you all the best!
Another great wee video. I had no idea this existed and only an hour away so that’s another day out with the kids sorted! Thanks for this guys! 👍😆
Nice one Stewart! :)
What a lovely little symphony in teal you two make, the colours complementing you both so well, especially the reflections off the sunglasses. A really delightful small gauge railway, which I never knew existed too, and that fantastic 3D map of Scotland, to honour the people who helped the Polish. Another gem.
Cheers Mike! :)
The list of "what not to miss when going to Scottland" is growing and growing. And that from an extra, intermediate video! Thanks again!
Oh my list is endless too (thankfully!) :)
Another great video. Many thanks from this Yank for bringing back wonderful memories of my times in Scotland!
You're so welcome Jeff!
Had no idea the Railway or the Polish map of Scotland existed. First class video.
Absolutely fantastic and informative. I didn't know that railway existed!
Cheers David! Us neither! :)
Thanks for another great TH-cam video. I have driven though Wanlockhead a good few years ago on a very short holiday in Dumfries & Galloway. This is an area I really must give proper time to have a proper explore. It’s such an overlooked area of Scotland.
We saw some lovely places in the area and so wish we'd had more time!

ANOTHER couple of awesome places to add to my wishlist. Cheers Steve - we might pencil these in on our way home from the Isle of Arran in mid-summer 👍
Another one ticked off mate :) How long you on Arran for?
@@steve-marsh just a couple of nights on the way back from a stay at Ellenbeich (Easdale) in Argyll. Our whale watching trip is already booked 😊
Another cracking Scottish video by the both of you. Sláinte
Cheers Ross!
Well! That was a wee bit magical, a beautiful wee train and Alicjia 'walking round Scotland' in about 10 minutes 😂
Cheers Johnny :)
01:57: If the train driver can resist that face, I'm a ring-tailed Lemur. What a fantastic tip for our next visit with the lovely folks of The Borders.
Nice video Steve. The map of Scotland is very interesting and very unique.
I didn't quite believe it when I spotted it online, so had to go and see it :)
@@steve-marsh The detail is quite amazing.
As others have said, an adhesion railway is where the engine and carriage wheels run on the tracks as a normal railway does. Snowdon Mountain Railways is a rack & pinion.
Nice to have a bonus video in the week.
Great video Steve - such beautiful scenery ! I've added a visit to my 'to do' list. 🙂
Well worth a look when you get the chance!
Such a cool wee train, you wouldn't want to be going far on those wooden seats though😂Awesome map of Scotland👍You would think by now Alicja would know there are no flat parts in Scotland😉Cool video Steve👍
Cheers Rab :)
Great Vid Steve , looks very picturesque but cold ! what a contrast to recent train journeys !
Aye a wee bit different eh!
Very interesting! Wanlockhead, which is south of Glasgow, is higher than the highlands which I thought would be the....highest. Keep the excellent content coming!

Ah cheers Paul! Aye, get yourself there when you can, some amazing roads around too so the drive is enjoyable
@steve-marsh There lies the problem Steve : I can't drive!
Aww man, taking me back to my school days! My high school used to use the outdoor centre at Wanlochead (or Wanlocheid as we used to call it lol) Great wee mid-week surprise! thanks so much xxx
You're so welcome :)
Very entertaining, loved it!
Thanks Jack!
Allways a joy to travel with uh both, thank yo and keep it up!
Thanks so much Paul from us both!
So. Much. Fun. 😁
Thank you for sharing this adventure! The volunteers do a great job of maintaining this lovely railway.
They are true stars!
New to the channel mate left Scotland 25 years ago your videos definitely get me homesick will keep following your travels mate
Cheers mate! Lots more to come from the homeland through the year I hope :) Cheers for finding the channel!
Great little surprise video Steve, it looked very remote and very chilly, but it is Scotland, I hope Noddy and Big Ears didn’t mind you borrowing their cute train, yet again only you could find the highest village in Scotland, what next I wonder!

Cheers Simon!
That's one of my favourite little trains. I had a great trip as the only passenger last year.
This so reminded me of a trip on a little train many years ago, the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch railway. Thanks for taking us along
Oh I'd love to have a wee ride on them all!
As soon as you put the caption on screen about Tom Scott doing a video on the railway, I knew exactly which railway it was and for what reason it existed.
Looks like a fun journey, love to travel on it, cheers for the video Steve.
Thanks for coming along Martin!

Superb video again.

Thanks so much! And have a cracking time!
Excellent!👏😊
What a great treat having an extra video from my favourite TH-camrs ❤️ take care guys and keep em coming please.😊

So nice to have a surprise extra video this week AND to see Alicja's smiling face. Hi Alicja! What an amazing little train. Great fun.
Thanks so much! And what about my smiling face, eh? :D
Missed the best part of Wanlockhesd, the lead mine tour it is really good,and very interesting.
Saw it, but we were filming another video on this trip so time was very limited, this was just a bonus
Loved that wee querky video.....
Aw thanks Donna!
A nice adventure. It is wonderful it is run by volunteers. Thanks.
What a beautiful area. It made me think of Brigadoon.
You’re just down the road from me Steve, it’s a lovely area as long as you have a warm jacket! Even in the summer.😂😂
Great to meet you when you were filming…and I even saw my campervan drive past on the footage!
Haha no way! Small world :)
Tom Scott many, many moons ago?
Yes .....and acknowledged. Class 😊
Thoroughly enjoyed both the trip and the tribute to Scotland at the end, thank you
What a cute train. Great to see you both mid week. My cousin from Edinburgh is still here and she enjoyed watching too. She’s been there but not on the train 🚂 Nice video
Thanks Lynne! And hi to your cousin too! :)
What a cute little choo choo train...that Polish map of Scotland was a kind gesture indeed. I was waiting for the southern part of Scotland to be presented so thank you. Have a lovely day Alicja and Steve 😎😎time for my Tim's ☕
