Now I see, all sprung points but with a manual latch when needed. What I do not see is auto trolley switching seen on some systems, wet ropes or poles can conduct electricity, rubber soles for all drivers and conductors. Would be interested in the paint shop as most of these tram colours would be from the railway age pre WW1 which had a limited range due to the chemistry available in these times.
Great video. Thanks Steven
Glad you enjoyed it
Nicely filmed. The family were next door at the Ecclesbourne Valley railway a class 14 gala.
I managed to capture the last departure from Duffield on my Sheffield and East Midlands video. It was certainly a nice day for it yesterday

Yes, the points are sprung loaded with manual latching if needed. There is a trolley reverser although I've not seen it used.
