I love it, and im not sure why. It reminds me of going to Crich Tram Museum (with a friend called ian) (sorry) (john shuttleworth moment) and sitting on the top deck been fascinated by the wizzing noise of the pole!

Very interesting, his Overhead is particularly inspiring with his use of what appear to be Twigs on the Return Loop. A not unprototypical arrangement on some of the European lines that were somewhat poverty stricken. It is also interesting to see that his Trolley Wheel works so well without a Swivel Head. But I guess that he knows his pinch points well judging by the slow running in places. Great stuff thanks for posting.

It looks great but, to my mind, it's in wrong position (too far off the centre line on curves).

Good point, Mick. I hadn't noticed that the first time I viewed the film.
