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
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.
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!
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 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.
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.
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 😂
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.
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.
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 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
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 for another great UA-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.
What a lovely train! And what a great way to see the sights. Sometimes trains go so fast all you see is a blur this when you actually get to see something. Thank you too for all the work that you do to bring these videos to us. Be well, stay safe, love from Texas.
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 😉😘
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
@@steve-marsh I don't mind a wee bonus video hahaha, working from home and always have UA-cam open on my private laptop which is sitting right next to my work equipment. 😬
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.
That wee train was great. Wee bit shooogly but still. Well worth the effort. The relief map of our great nation was excellent. The story behind it is so nice. The UK was a very different kind of country back then, glad us Scots are still like that. 🏴🇵🇱
Love the little train - wonderfully makeshift. Bless the volunteers who keep it going. And thanks for showing us the Polish 3-D map of Scotland. I notice the map includes the Western Isles, but did it include the northern isles? Another great trip. Thank you both!
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!
Fantastic, it's not far over the border from England, I expected the highest villages to be further north. Any slow-moving narrow gauge railway through beautiful countryside is great to ride and, if comfortable enough, a sleepy ride😁
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.
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!
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👍
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 🤗
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.
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 ☕
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.
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.
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
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. 🙂
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 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
What a fantastic wee train. Great work from the volunteers!
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 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 :)
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! :)

The volunteers were awesome mate!
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!
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.

Delightful little railway hope they can get it to Wanlockhead soon.
What an absolute joy to watch!
Thanks Marilyn!
Fascinating ❤
......such a beautiful railway. Your videos are so informative. Cheers 😎
That was brilliant! Thank you, you two!
Our pleasure Ian! Just a wee bonus to keep a bit of Scotland on the channel :)
This was a lovely surprise during a busy work morning! Thanks again to both of you! :)
Our pleasure Graeme!
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.
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!
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 😂
He seems to be a bit of a legend!
Wishing you all the best!
Ah, so very nice. Thank you, Steve ! Locking forward to the next one.
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!) :)
The Guard on this journey is my wee Dad and he's just showed me this, happy days!
No way! That's awesome! :)
A nice surprise on a Tuesday morning! Looked like a fun day.
Thanks Susan! It really was :)
Never knew about any of those places cheers guys one to check out 👍
Cheers Davy!
What a delightful rail journey and the map of Scotland an added bonus, thank you both and stay safe, cheers.
Cheers Simon!

Love this.
Another fascinating video, Steve! Many thanks indeed :)
Cheers Kieron!
Great work Steve you make a great couple.
Cheers John!
Wanlockhead has an absolutely fantastic pub with great food and magic people.
So. Much. Fun. 😁
Thank you for sharing this adventure! The volunteers do a great job of maintaining this lovely railway.
They are true stars!
Your videos together are the best. kudos

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.
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! :)
I love seeing these wee remote places, enjoyed that, Steve and Alicja👍
Thanks Sheila! A remote wee place for sure!
A nice adventure. It is wonderful it is run by volunteers. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing. A surprise additional video.
Cheers Jim!
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! :)
Thoroughly enjoyed both the trip and the tribute to Scotland at the end, thank you
Another great video. Many thanks from this Yank for bringing back wonderful memories of my times in Scotland!
You're so welcome Jeff!
What a great treat having an extra video from my favourite UA-camrs ❤️ take care guys and keep em coming please.😊
Cheers Richard! A wee midweeker to keep everyone on their toes :D
That was really really good Steve and Alicja thank you !
You are so welcome :)
Hello Steve. Another well produced and thoroughly entertaining video.
Thanks so much David!
Excellent!👏😊
Tom Scott many, many moons ago?
Yes .....and acknowledged. Class 😊
Thanks for another great UA-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!
Absolutely fantastic and informative. I didn't know that railway existed!
Cheers David! Us neither! :)
Once again, brilliant !....thank you...👍☺
Brilliant video showing two locations of the beaten track...many thanks and best wishes
Loved this video! That map of Scotland was pretty amazing!
Fantastic video Steve😊
Cheers Shug!
What a lovely train! And what a great way to see the sights. Sometimes trains go so fast all you see is a blur this when you actually get to see something. Thank you too for all the work that you do to bring these videos to us. Be well, stay safe, love from Texas.
Thanks so much Kate!
Love the engine named "Clyde".
Do they have a second one named "Bonny"?
@@abrahamdozer6273 no but we have others named after the local rivers. Clyde, nith, mennock, and luce
What alovely journey, thank you for sharing this, 😊
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!
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 😉😘
Well done visiting such an out-of-the-way wee place! :)
Now that's what you call a flying visit!!!
Lovely places! Thank you for showing us these special stops. Love the little train journey!
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!
Very entertaining, loved it!
Thanks Jack!
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!
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 UA-cam open on my private laptop which is sitting right next to my work equipment. 😬
Really enjoyed your video of Wanlockhead. Been up there several times and it's always freezing!
Haha too true!
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!
A cannot beat a small scale railway, little track,lovely journey,
So true Christine!
Great video, Steve. Didn't know about the railway nor the Polish map. Well worth a future visit.
A couple of wee gems there! :)
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!
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 😊
« When shall we meet again? In thunder, lightning, or rain?” ;). You guys are so lucky to live in such a beautiful country.
Thanks Chris :)
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.
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!
Well! That was a wee bit magical, a beautiful wee train and Alicjia 'walking round Scotland' in about 10 minutes 😂
Cheers Johnny :)
Your videos bring a lot of light relief and show us some amazing sites and countryside. Well done. 😇❤️
Hey thanks so much Michael!
Great to see you both! Enjoy!
That wee train was great. Wee bit shooogly but still. Well worth the effort.
The relief map of our great nation was excellent. The story behind it is so nice. The UK was a very different kind of country back then, glad us Scots are still like that. 🏴🇵🇱

Love the little train - wonderfully makeshift. Bless the volunteers who keep it going. And thanks for showing us the Polish 3-D map of Scotland. I notice the map includes the Western Isles, but did it include the northern isles? Another great trip. Thank you both!
We should've looked behind the trees to see if Orkney and Shetland were there :)
I think the map was done in the days when Orkney and Shetland lived in a separate box beside maps. Can't see any box though.

A fun wee bonus video to make :)
I am always pleased when you provide a mid week fun update.
Have enjoyed your weekend trips for several years now. Keep them coming.
Thanks so much Jim! Keeping everyone on their toes with the midweek upload :D
What a great little train journey.
Definitely a very remote place.
Very interesting video Steve.
Cheers Tim! It was a fun wee diversion on our way up to Edinburgh filming another video :)
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

Haha yes! Cheers James!
Oh I just love that station and those Semaphore Signals! 😀
Totally agree Roger! :)
Great stuff, uncovering more hidden gems!
Cheers mate! Love finding these wee places :)
I see the train is called Hunslet. There is a little town near Leeds called Hunslet. Perhaps that's were the engine was built.
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.
Took my girls there 16 years ago, had an amazing day with tours of the lead mines and museum. Haven't seen them for 9 years now but great memories ❤
i enjoyed every minute of your journey. Thank you.
