 I'm currently in the hold of a jumbo jet somewhere. I never thought I'd get to go I'm now standing on the wing of a jumbo jet somewhere even more unlikely I ever thought I'd go and just see The tanzer in front of us there Hello, thank you for joining me. I'm at Speer Hof Bernhof This is quite a small city in Germany The reason we come here today is to visit the Technical Museum, which you may have seen my recent video I went to the Technical Museum in Sintain, which was and I can only describe as a fantastic museum. Well The Sintain Technical Museum has assisted the museum here in Speer now. It's that way in True Henry's adventures fashion. We're going this way to start with now The reason we're going up on this bridge isn't purely because I like the curly whirly mess of the station footbridge And it's also a footbridge to another part of town or city It's because on my way in here. I spotted something rather unusual I was on the train and it looked like a loop miller. That's a East German Soviet design diesel loco in A very dark red. So it must be a preserved loco and they were a siding Probably about a quarter of a mile away from the station So what I thought we'd do is we'll go down there. Have a look at them. We'll come back to the main railway station So just come up this nice Curly whirly. I do enjoy footbridges that aren't your standard up down Etc. So we'll come back to the city. You want to have a look at them and then We'll go and have a look at this technical museum So the loco's are about a quarter mile that way, so I'm gonna follow the bridge and go and find them So I've just come along from the railway station through a nicely fee residential area now I'm just passing an old factory and The purpose of this detour is becoming clear right ahead of us have a look The heads there in the siding by the railway line is the unmistakable site of a loop miller So I was on the train. I was sat on the other side and it just was a loop miller on that side I've got to go and have a look at that. They appear to be just sat there I can't hear the sound of any diesel loco or any engines turning. Actually There's two loco's and a small diesel loco and possibly an electric at the other end But we'll have a closer look as we get there. So this is a really exciting Surprise I was not expecting to see this here I have seen loco's in Germany in the past and other countries have seen them in Hungary But the usually you see them in Germany. It was usually in the former East Germany I remember when I first went to the hearts quite often seeing them on freight trains But I'm pretty sure these ones are all preserved loco's so be a bit like in the UK if you suddenly came across a Couple of class 50s a class 14 teddy bear and I don't know something like a class 81 or 82 or 86, you know So There's this loop miller here number two three three three seven three So that's why I'm love Miller. I shall be searching through my notebook or through my spotter's book to tick off And we've got this class 260 a little diesel shunter 268 7 2 and then another love Miller And which one was that's two three three Two seven one second and then it's an electric loco class 151 I think I remember seeing these on passenger trains at Frankfurt a few years ago. There's a few of them around so It's quite yeah Quite an exciting surprise not expected at all That's what you do tend to get more Random things just turning up on German railways than you do probably anywhere else you occasionally like I've been in Britain And you know, sometimes you do see convoys of preserved loco's Heading around perhaps from a diesel garland off on one railway to another so I can get across the road We'll go and have a closer look And then I'm gonna head back in that direction to go The technical museum the reason we actually came to spare today in the first place Yeah, I'm really happy to have seen Like I said, it's just pure surprise. This was so I'm gonna head back past them again now. We're gonna go find technical museum I was excited to see those preserved loco's now. It's come something else interesting But of a different age. It's not a disused railway line. I think this is the old city wall We're just on the edge of the city now hadn't planned to do a city tour and a visit to Lee I've done no research on the history of spare, but I'm getting the impression. It's a very interesting city My plan was to walk past the cathedral and have a look at that. But yeah, here we have Looks like an old railway. I know it's not It's it's got to be the old city walls because the railway line is just behind those buildings some really nice architecture Not much that but look at that one really nice building In fact, I have a feeling if I just keep going on is that being set church up there in the fog Hidden in the fog. It's quite foggy morning, but I do what I thought was really funny Was this morning I came on the train as the train departed manhain It went over the river Rhine and it was very foggy. You may have heard of Newcastle's infamous fog on the tine or today I saw the fog on the Rhine. Anyway, let's keep going I think so might take a left here to take us into the heart the old city So let's go and walk through the old city So here we are we are now just about to walk into the historic city centre. Look at that. There's one of the gates Beautiful building. Look at this Really really nice building. So we're gonna walk through here walk up the main street In fact, I can just see through the through the arch the cathedral head Excuse me. I'm sorry just looking around because I wasn't entirely sure which bits were pedestrian eyes and which bits were roadways I did not want to get run over and look at this beautiful clock up there, too So we're gonna walk through here and If you look ahead, I can already see the cathedral but the fog is doing a rather good job of hiding the top of the towers It's like the towers just disappear into the sky Anyway, it's now officially coming to the old city centre. We'll have a look see what the tower looks like from the other side Wow That's yeah, it's very very nice German city centre. This is there's a Cheebo shop there. I remember when we used to get them in the UK but you don't anymore and When I was a teenager I was used to go in them and get the sweets and never actually buy anything Anyway, let's go and have a look at the cathedral So here we are. We're right down the other end of the main street in Speyer city centre Interestingly in the pavings. I've noticed these there's one on each side It's almost like they're showing there was once a tramway here I expect there probably was because just about every city in Germany even most towns have had trams at some point But they haven't got any trams now there That is Speyer Cathedral So I'm gonna go and take a closer look and then round the corner and across the road is the museum Which we've come here to see We're back outside now and the bells are ringing because it's 12 o'clock There's the cathedral so it's a rather large and impressive building with a nice model of it here So give you an idea of what it actually looks like So I'm now going to go in that direction through there and we're gonna find this museum So we're almost there now It was quite a long walk from the railway station pretty about a mile But then as I said I did want to have a look at the city on the way cool and here In front of us when this lorry gets out the way it's going to reveal the museum So it says the museum you can see an airplane pointing upwards I can see some locomotives over there I can see airplanes let's get across the road and we're going to go and have a look inside But this is interesting I've literally just come across the road and I found railway lines Railway line goes along there as I said I could see some locomotives behind there Are some locomotives there's no point really trying to look at them now Through the fence because once we've paid to go in the museum we'll obviously be able to have a look at that oh look at that is a jumbo jet up there doesn't look so impressive on camera but I think it will when we get closer So when we went to the one at sin time it's kind of big aviation thing was that you could go in the Concorde and the TU-144 which was you know quite exciting well very exciting the only place in the world where they were the two were displayed together well here there's various aeroplanes and obviously locomotives I think is that a boat over there I can just see what looks like a boat over there so lots of interesting things see this looks to me like turbines you get in a power station let's see if we can find out because they're huge look at that so let's check it is what I think it is is it in English it definitely it's all in German definitely says turbines a Fitzberg block I think it's turbines from a possibly a nuclear power station not too sure but anyway the point is it's these huge turbines which make the electricity at power stations I did do a video on a power station pretty different type of hydroelectric power station in Scotland if you want to see that I'll look at the link on the screen now there's some more airplanes I'm not too clued up on aviation as I said in the other video I like aeroplanes I'm not an aviation enthusiast but you know you can't no one can really fail to be to be impressed by them I just noticed the steam roller up here we might be able to see this when we get inside but just in case we can't we're going to have a look at this one now because it's just there in front of us I think we will see it inside so I think there's another roller over there there's so much there's an Antonov anyway that's the type of aeroplane that I do know about a very very big aeroplane I think one need to do is go inside and let's go and explore this very exciting looking museum so here we are inside I have got my ticket that noise you can hear is a robot mopping the floor so I'm going to go and find my way in just a couple of things there's another nice model there of the cathedral and another unexpected surprise they gave you a kind of red ball free part of your ticket for coming in so it's a bit random but you know I'm quite happy with that so I've got to find a way in on that is one very funny car that covered in all sorts of things it is a car yeah underneath all that so look at that right let's um I didn't do this on camera in the other one but I'll show you the so you get to these ticket barriers not quite like you get on British rail stations but I think I'll do his eye and scan this here let's go on green I go through the firm style and here we are I've not seen this at all for the first time in front of us we have a steam loco and once again we're going to be cool this is a much older building this time so we have a class 42 and um let's have a look oh whatever I'm just going to sit as I'm here now showing it to you as I see it we'll just have a walk through and there's a one of the very old German steam locomotives up there there's loco's on both sides I can see another semi-streamlined loco over there what I'll do I'll just walk down here and then I'll have a look around and then I'll point out some of my favorite things but as soon as I'm seeing this all for the first time oh look there's a Trevant always makes my day when I see a Trevant I used to own one great car great fun maybe not the most practical it was great fun to own there's another steam loco over there a class 50 as I said since I'm not to be confused with the British diesel locomotive but it's a German class 50 and there's a red arrow I'm going to now explore once I had a good exploration I'll show you some of my favorite things so here we are by the Trevant it always makes my day as I said seeing them I know I said that in this video about 10 seconds ago but in real life it was about three hours ago I've now been exploring the museum for the last three hours I'm now going to give you a bit of voice will stop tour show you some of my favorite exhibits now there's so many exhibits literally hundreds I cannot possibly point all of them out but I'm just going to show you a few of my favorite so you can start off with something British here look a John Fowler showman's engine sort of thing you'll see if you go to steamer is in the UK so it's nice to see that here so pan around the room you can see there is a lot of different forms of transport it seems that the running joke seems to be with here and the one at Sinsheim it has every form of transport but a tram up there is a very old looking steam locomotive it's actually a replica of Alder one of the first steam locos around between Nuremberg and Fuff on the first sort of mainline steam locos of Germany as I mentioned as we came in there is a class 42 so that is that's a 210 a bit like this one here class 50 which as I said not the British class 50 something very different I did once I took a picture of a German class 50 and I posted it in the British class 50 Facebook group just to wind them up it was quite funny seeing the reactions I got anyway so this is a class 50 and we're going to go have a look on the foot plate because it's always quite exciting to do okay it's not in steam but you can appreciate the sheer size I think it's an impressive load don't imagine I'm sat here driving it and well that would be what I'd get is of a mini maybe this should be a British class 50 because you're more likely to see a British class 50 with a mini anyway let's kind of look at that mini because it's not your average mini certainly not something that you'd normally see oh look at that there's a diesel motor and generator oh yeah um before you have a look at the mini what you can do I'm not gonna do it but if you want you can put a euro or two fifty cents in and it will turn there's lots of things like that so if I was to do that every time I saw one of these pretty cost quite a lot of money sometimes you see other people doing it so I'll sort of stand and watch from a distance um anyway look at this it's a mini with an upstairs and double decker bus which is a mini or an open top bus rather that's a mini something a bit different here we have bubble car we saw some of those in the other technical museum it's in so I'm going to go up these steps get a nice view over the museum and there's the upstairs seats of of that I did want to think of my lard of putting seats on the roof rack making that into an open top bus but someone's done it with a mini you know maybe I should anyway there's a nice view over the museum there's lots of fairground organs here come up to here get a rather different view of the steam locomotive from above and we've come to the where all the model railways are there's some nice cabinets with various models inside and there's some models of some steam engines so you can see how you know different types of steam engines there's another one there I don't think these actually they might work but there isn't the option to make them work there's one that's quite interesting paddle steam so you can see how the cylinders turn the wheels now there's some model railways here some quite cool looking lgb model railways what I'll do I will spend money but rather than me do it now I'll do it later and put it in another video and then what I'll do I'll make one video which will have the model railway here and also the one at Sintung because there was also a g-scale lgb layout there so that there's one video of all of that is various exhibits so there's a br hat down there the br double logos all sorts of see name plates of locos different hatch from different railway companies oh that local that belongs to the hearts of seven or no nine two two two and I've ridden behind that one it's like the pioneer of the of the huge two ten two steam engines out in the heart so I've had that one for haulage well so we got um yeah db hats there um there's that's a Romanian railways hat I think some of Yugoslav some of Yugoslavian Amtrak obviously American over here there's another rather large g-scale lgb layout again I'm going to put money in I'll make that a separate video oh and as for that outside that turbine we saw which I said came from a nuclear power station I said Fipsburg here's a model of that nuclear power station so you can see the dome I always like nuclear power so I'm gonna have a dome it was makes a bit more I don't know just cool I really like nuclear power stations Germany's phasing them out Fipsburg's already closed you can actually see inside so you can see the reactors and then there is the cooling towers the cooling towers at Fipsburg were demolished the power station stopped generating in 2019 the cooling towers were demolished in 2020 at the time of filming there's still three nuclear power stations generating in Germany unfortunately I'm going to close them down um which yeah I think it's strange because I think nuclear power stations are fantastic things and also I'm not going to go on to get into environmental and all that but basically if you're not going to generate with coal basically you need to use nuclear anyway here's a huge model well a G scale model railway can need more euros and up here some more exhibits oh look math so that's mad jar almond voshu tock that's hungarian state railways class 4-1-1-2-2-7 so I've seen them was it 4-1-1 I saw interesting no it was class 4-2-4 I saw the main line hungry early this year very several exhibits to go around here oh look that's a Yugoslavian plate I think so lots of different exhibits as a class 101 I've had a few of those for haulage there's a french steam loco there so there's lots of exciting things to do and there's the model railway on this side so well like I said I'm going to put my money in and we'll watch them go around so that'd be quite fun quite nice layouts this one's even got as you can see a rack and pinion railway making its way up to the mountain what we're going to do now and walk back past the nuclear power station again and have a look across the museum the hall it's huge there's just simply so much you can go upstairs there's more exhibits upstairs I'm not going to show them so I simply cannot show you everything and if you want to see everything else really you've got to come here but I'll show you you know give you a taste of what there is at this museum because there really is such a great variety of different things to see and we come down here more cars steam locomotives I really like that bus that Renault bus that's quite cool also it gives you appearance as hard as anyone here again it's because like I did with Sinsheim I've chosen to come here on a weekday in November if I was to come here at different time I think it'd be much much busier and making videos like this simply wouldn't be possible there's lots of places I've been to where I'd like to make videos but they're just so busy it just simply isn't always possible but here it's perfect for me that there's probably a good couple of hundred visitors in the museum there are people about but it just feels like I've got it to myself because the museum's so vast everyone just disperses here look at that it's a funicular car there so it's from a funicular rail which is unfortunately closed if we have a look at one thing you can do here which you can't normally do is you can actually see underneath you can see all the workings of a funicular railway carriage so that's something you wouldn't normally see here we have Leavers from a German signal box now here look this is a class 95 007 these are loco's built to work their tank engines they're a bit like we get the hearts but these are standard gauges they're not meter gauge and they're blooming massive they're probably some of the biggest tank engines I've ever seen I'm looking there there was one running a few years ago in to confuse you in if you don't know about rows in the area of the hearts but on a standard gauge rail they're not part of the hearts meter gauge systems so it's yeah hi I wish I'd gone really had a trip behind that maybe I will one day it's great to see there's a class 03 I think I've had a few different German steam loco's sometimes at Dresden steam festival and other mainline tours the reason the wheels are behind this is because again you can put a euro in make the wheels turn and we did see that happening at the other museum since time on this side there's a load of fire engines which is quite interesting to see there's a lot of things here which also I'm overly interested in but they're interesting to see so things like fire engines I don't really have a particular interest in fire engines but you know it's it's nice to see them let's just go and have a wander into the middle of the museum here and have a closer look at all of these fire engines look so you've got like a whole line up there of different fire engines it's just so much though and there's like a fire station there which is quite interesting we'll go over here now there's another steam loco there that's class 55 it's not a deltic within that sort of class 55 it seems to be I kind of have the the british class numbers in my head so when I see 55 I think of deltic but yeah it's not a deltic um it's it is a class 55 and it's an 080 so it's probably the closest thing you're getting britain to it be something like super d now here we have a crocodile we saw one of these so big it's hard to show you we saw something a bit like this in the museum at sin time someone's just put money in one of the things you just hear some music coming on see that carousel you can put your own see that go around you actually get to ride it there's a few cars here now I have to say cars like Mercedes and BMWs they're not my cup of tea but that is a really nice Mercedes Citroen in the middle that's a BMW they're the kind of Mercedes and BMWs I like I like to stick with my larder for everyday driving there's our fire engines we're gonna go down here now there's um actually from here well we've got two things we've got a huge class 01 let's say the beginning a bit slightly streamlined looking it's not streamlined as the one we saw at sin time you get a better view of the crocodile electric locomotive so they're pretty big so this is a pacific this class 01 so think of pacifics for those of you to kind of give you an idea if you're not too sure pacific is a two and then sorry a four and then a six and a two in France they call it a two three one and Oliver bullet with his bullet pacific he likes that system so like clanline is a bullet pacific and um yeah clanline's a pacific flyer scotsman's a pacific although not a bullet pacific it's a gresley pacific as are the a fours anyway enough of british trains british locomotives in germany so it's pretty much about german steam locomotives you can go on the footplate of this one too so yeah this is like one of the you know the big top link crack express steam locomotives of germany and we're just counting what we're going to do now we're going to go well actually we're going to look at a couple of things in the middle then we're going to go outside because a lot of different things outside and there really is a huge variety of things except there's no track rooms here i wanted just to show you this vehicle here it's got tires so it must go on the road but it's got buffers and it's got a coupling so is it a road vehicle or is it a railway vehicle the answer is it's both it can be changed to wheels with flanges so it could run on a railway so that's something you should tell i did also wonder could it potentially tow something like a tram okay that's close we're getting to a tram could it pull a tram along on the railway line say that's laid in the concrete like say you get a docks maybe i don't know anyway we're going to go outside this really is a really nice building as well as i said it's a historic building it's not a modern building there's another organ up there we're going to go outside we're going to see all sorts of different things transport for well i suppose trains planes and automobiles come out here i said about a railway line like that so that vehicle potentially could tow something along here there's aeroplanes above us and we come out here there's a steam roller covered up our first steam local we see outside is this little locomotive here i wonder what the funnel is that's a spark arrestor so that would arrest any sparks it's a field barn local it had been used in the war probably on the west and well that's in france basically and in germany but they're quite quite nice little locals there is one at latin buzzard railway it's not steaming there's other engines down there rollers aeroplanes above us you get a good view of what the building's like here we're going to go and there's boats as well some interesting boats there's this one here which is carved out of the tree i know there's some locals in the background we're going to get on to them there's something though quite unexpected around the corner something you probably wouldn't expect to see in germany there's this steam engine here that is a chinese qj locomotive i think qj sounds like a engine which means progress probably about the only chinese i'll ever learn it becomes the third chinese locomotive i've seen there's a british built one in latin rosaam in york and the churnet valley railway has an s 160 that's an american loco but one of the s 160s worked in china so i have actually traveled behind a former chinese rail is locomotive but this is the qj so this was built um if you look up there that there is its workspace so obviously i can't read the chinese writing but i can see 1978 so it's quite modern you know compared to you know some of our steam loco as well our last steam loco for mainline service before tornado was evening star that was built in march 1960 swindon china built their last mainline steam locomotive in 1998 they built these up until 1988 so for another 10 years china built steam loco's and these were still at work a few years ago i think there is a little bit of working steam in china but not a lot i always wanted to go there when i could when i could have seen them but i was a little bit young didn't really have the money so i never got to go there i did get a bosnia though so i have witnessed real working steam that was a krieg that's we'll get on to them in a minute here we have another german diesel class 220 also another it's the first german diesel we've seen it's the one we could see from outside we've come round the fence so i want to say class 220 if you think of what a british class 220 is it's a voyager probably the most unpopular train ever you could arguably say their german is equivalent to a class 47 and voyagers replaced a lot of the work class 47s do but again it's a bit i'm going off on a bit of a tangent of british and loco's and german loco's but i'd love to have had a trip behind one of these there probably are some going at heritage lines and for mainline tours so yeah that's class 220 and here we have how much smaller locomotive built in 1954 i know that because i read that there so as for the track there on it sort of is like a little bit of museum railway it goes out there we saw it crossing the road i'm not going to do it if i was to follow it i would probably can't i would come to the german railway network it runs right through sort of the back of the town so all of this i'm assuming these arrive by rail i'm not 100 sure but they probably could have arrived by rail here we have some american tank wagons they were built in the war came over to europe there's another one that's what i understand anyway i'm going to walk round past the chinese qj it's interesting to have the chinese number and our standard number so i didn't i didn't write down this chinese number i just wrote the two six five five down it's on a plinth i think i'm fairly sure they're standard gauge but the loading gauge it probably germany has obviously a bigger loading gauge than great britain so that's the size of how big the tunnels are you simply could not run any of those steam loco's we saw inside the germans if you tried to run them in britain you might just get away on the great central because that was built to a european loading gauge but most railways it simply would not fit under the bridges or tunnels i think if this was to run on german railways it wouldn't fit under the bridges or tunnels it's an even bigger loading gauge now there's a crane there that's a funny looking loco that is a steam loco it's a fireless loco so it's charged up with steam and then it runs all day once it's had the steam put inside it there's another little diesel loco and then here this lovely little shunter that's an electric loco you can just see on top the pantograph which is folded down it's rather incongruous sight looking ahead you know along a railway line with aeroplanes sort of hovering above you that aren't actually going anyway it's a really really weird but exciting place and i do really like it here i do think you know you should definitely come here if you're into this kind of thing you're into transport then this museum and the one that's in time are well worth a visit now we come along here there's another class 220 you can't have a look in the aeroplanes i don't think i'll do that on this video well i'll say that i don't know why about these two because there's a lot to see look at that if this was a steel picture you'd think why is that bow in 747 flying so low as you can see it's actually just there we're definitely going to go in that we can't not go in that here's another class 220 in a different db livery there's a narrow gauge a bit of track there there's a loco the easiest way to show you that loco is if i just take you around the end here we're right at the corner of the museum where most visitors don't bother going to it's like that train's not interested or let's take a picture of the steam engine and so we walk right around the end of the track past the buffer stops and we see quite an unusual loco you can see how much smaller it is being narrow gauge to the standard gauge loco it's an electric loco i understand it would have worked in a mining sort of situation it's got a couple of works plates i think it was originally built by henshaw in 1948 this also got a seamen's plate this is built in 1950 so i'm a bit confused so i'm not too sure which which is but it's it's quite big it's as long as the class 220 behind it but obviously it's a lot shorter and it had two pantographs it pulled wagons like this i'm not entirely sure what to work but it's definitely some form of industrial railway so there's some aeroplanes ahead we're going to have a look at a few more locomotives and then we're going to make our way over to see the bow in 747 foggy it's still very foggy today um the fog hasn't cleared up it's getting on for four o'clock in the afternoon it's foggy anyway so we've got a couple of little locos here which look like they have a bow in 747 on top of them this funny thing here is another crocodile this is an italian railways crocodile which has ended up here so that's quite interesting so i can take that off in my my italian stock here we have a craigslock these are the sort of locos i've seen working in bosnia well this one as you can see it's got the red star on the front i understand it to be a ukrainian number plate it carries however ukraine is five foot gauge so how have they regaged it i don't know i can't it doesn't appear they have but if you do know then do comment and tell me i saw one with that numbering system in lithuania at Vilnius rail museum if you want to see that i've looked at the link on screen now so that one must have been five foot another fireless loco i'm going i don't know you're supposed to go this way i'm not going to i'm just going to walk jump off the end two more fireless locos and of course the bow in 747 jumping off the end of the platform and you can see they have the cylinder at the back of the loco there are some of these that work apparently in parts of germany so you know if you look out for them rumored to be some manheim power station not too far from here there's two of them i've seen one at work at lubeana power station i've only seen it from a passing train but unless that was a bit of working steam i witnessed now we're heading this way towards the bow in 747 so we're going to have a look at that we're also going to look inside the building behind it because there's a few things that may interest some of you oh and there's a little diesel shunter there's a huge dump truck if i go and stand right next to it you'll give you an idea just how big it is it's massive but not as massive as the bow in 747 so what i'm going to do now we're going to go and have a look around inside that or now first let's go in the building behind it and then we'll go and see the 747 so with the main part of the museum behind us we're going to go into as much more modern museum now Apollo and beyond so this is very much the space age part of the museum i'm not too interested in this part of the museum so well do i'll show you so you get a gist of it but i simply don't know enough about everything to really tell you much about it but i'll show it to you have a look at that uh is a spacecraft the space shuttle that's really impressive to see that it's like an airplane but the wrong shape it's a bit weird but nonetheless it's it's interesting it's amazing to think man can do this kind of thing but it just doesn't really interest me so much as a lot of racing cars there do like seeing a fee at one three one that's a pretty cool spot what we'll do though we'll go up there's a lift over here so if we go up high a bit like we did at sin time in hall three and then we can have a look at the hall from above but i just don't feel i'm the person to show you around this one because i just don't know enough about it so i'm going to call this lift and hopefully it'll come down there we go there goes the counter way well the lift comes down just have a look at the shuttle because you while you're here might have to see it and now the lift is coming down we're going to go up so in this hall all around the top of areas exhibits on spacecraft there's also lots of motorbikes again a subject that isn't really my my um subject to those why i don't have the knowledge about it um but you know it the point is here there's a lot to see so it doesn't really matter what your interest is if you like forms of transport it's probably got it here apart from a tram anyway look at that so yeah it's no doubt very impressive oh and here's various bits of sci-fi films um i'm not going to sci-fi films either you know um but they can be quite entertaining i do i do really like um the film event horizon that's a brilliant film known as the shining in space fictional spacecrafts there i think i can see the exhibit event horizon but that's the one space film i quite like anyway we come to here and there's a rather weird model railway a very model rally in some sort of fantasy land so what i'll do again i'll pay with one of my euros and uh we can perhaps we'll see the trains going around and that'll be in a different video what i'm going to do now though we're going to go out onto the roof there's no concord on the roof of this museum but we're going to go out onto the roof and what we'll do we'll get a great view of the site i'll point out a few more things from there and then we'll finish with a look inside the bow in 747 there we have another look at the spacecraft by the way there is stairs to take you up too you don't really go inside we just sort of have a look it's not like you actually get to go inside and walk around but yeah it's it's impressive interesting just not my subject right so we go through here that there's it's quite fitting you see all the uniforms and there's lots of things about spacesuits and everything so if you're someone who likes you know um like so here you can't remember what it's there for if you look if you're into space you're gonna do definitely come here because you won't be disappointed another thing i think is really good about the museum is it's open till six o'clock and so is the one at sin'sheim i remember i went to a museum in britain once and it closed at half past three and i got there at about quarter to three it wasn't this big but i really had to rush my visit um because i've traveled up from london on train i won't say where but at least it's open to a sensible time because it's like this morning i could have a little look around spire city center and not feel i had to rush so go out here when i was up here earlier it was less foggy i could see spire cathedral which was over there somewhere we need to get over there now to go inside the lufthansa bow in seven four seven but from here you get a great view of the site there's an antenna over there that's a big transporter plane there's a submarine there's a couple of boats there's a restaurant down there i might go and have a beer when i finish this video so yeah next we're going over there and we're going to go into the bow in seven four seven our moment ago we were over there now we are underneath bow in seven four seven there's the nose see the fuselage look at that there's the wings and the wheels you can see just how big it is we're up pretty high as it is there's this bit here it's a little bit scary as you walk along and it's like you're walking above ground and it feels a bit scary but you know it's all part of fun get a good view out there over the main building and disappearing into the fog the cathedral is completely disappeared but it's over there you can see various other airplanes fireless steam locos and just see the class 220 in the background anyway let's go and have a look inside a bow in seven four seven because it's really something very exciting and what we're going to do see that thing there doesn't look that much slide down to the ground got my mat ready so i'm going to have to carry that around with me but we're going to finish with a slide down to ground level so we're going to go up the spiral staircase it's a bit like we did at sin time where we went into a concord this time we're going to bow in seven four seven to another little lufthansa viking plane down there you can also go in that one um i'm just feeling if i show you here inside every airplane a minute is going to be very very long and um it'll take forever so we're just almost at the top now thank you here we are and if you're looking forward it really feels like we could be you know a few thousand feet up as soon as we already are in the clouds so we go inside and obviously immediately see how big it is but it's just interesting that if we walk through to here and see the what fuselage is actually like without all of the um cladding so you get quite a good view of the whole workings of the fuselage and what we can actually do we can go down here um into the hold i'll do it i've got to throw that down there see this way i needed three hands up what so we're going down here if you look forward you can see the whole airplane see the seats there so we're now in the hold i've always wondered what happens to my luggage on an airplane well it obviously goes somewhere like this into the hold so this is the hold of an airplane really quite an amazing space also feels weird to think we are okay we're not thousands of feet up but we are in the sky and it's if you're wondering why those ladders look like they're like that because the airplane's at an angle so those ladders are actually vertical and straight it's the camera giving you illusion that they're not so if we go up here just about climb up here with a camera um and that's all i'm going to do rest the camera there it's pretty best way to climb up pick up the camera and uh we continue our adventure around this airplane so if you look forward here see some of the passengers and the staff cabin crew yeah hostesses pleased with the toilets in the middle can't receive them so we can find one and get better view it's got up here now going up towards the cockpit so you can see so there would be another row of seats here you can see in there the middle seats if i went on one though i'd really want a window see i'd be a bit disappointed if i got a middle seat so i go around here this is where they probably serve from and i look down see a cabin crew walking up to the front now of the aircraft and what else are we going to find i think this is now the business class which we're in or no maybe first class or business class or whatever we're now going to go up the place i always want to go up up to the spiral staircase to have a look yeah so it says business class first class up here so again it's awkward walking up with a camera so we're now coming up to first class so from what i can see this looks more yeah much more posture than the business class can then sit in there join the flight in really nice comfortable seats so this is what it's like and like i said kind of feels like we are up in the sky because it's so foggy outside it's like we could be up in the clouds but we are just at the level we're at we go through here and we will in a second be able to have a look at the cockpit so here is the cockpit so we're now in the cockpit of a Boeing 747 that's really quite exciting what we're going to do now we're going to go down i'm going to show you something from the outside so we're back down at the top of that spiral staircase it feels really weird walking down that's why i paused it because it's you know on a slant anyway that's the toilet look sitting there in paper we're walking through again i expect there would be more seats here but there currently isn't so we're back into the main area of the fuselage we're going to do something now even more unusual something you wouldn't expect to be able to do we're going outside as you can see and we're going to do some wing walking i've always wanted to wing walk on an aeroplane well here we are i'm i'm now on the wing of a Boeing 747 and yeah to keep saying by the fog like that yeah we could be like really really high up but i'll probably be blown away like this but you know this is so exciting and through the cage and just see the diesel loco the class 220 see various other aeroplanes of course you can see the main hall down there so it's just such a fantastic museum um you know basically you just come and visit both of them this one and um the one that's inside together they form a great day out don't try and do both of them on one day because i've been at both of them all day they're that's our big day so we're now walking back up the wing um yeah very exciting to be on on the wing of an aeroplane it's just yeah something i didn't think i'd ever get to do anyway and there there's the front you can just see up there the business class which was upstairs that was really exciting now we're going to go back into the aeroplane we're going to go back down that sparse staircase and um we're going to go down that slide you see again looks like they're not straight but it's because the aeroplane is on an angle as if it's flying as if it's taking off and you know how they turn so we're going to make our way down the spiral staircase now you can see where we were we were over there on the roof not that long ago so we're going to make our way down the stairs and then um we'll be able to go down the slide so there above me had a wheel of a bow in 747 that's the spiral staircase which we used to get up i'm sat here now at the top of this slide so we've been up high in the fog there's the wing near of the bow in 747 but now it's time to go down the slide back back down to the ground here we go that was fun that was i think that was steeper than the slide at sin time but yeah that was really good fun really puffed out now after running up and down those stairs doing that anyway good fun it's uh it's a great museum as i said i can't possibly show you everything there's just simply too much here to show you put my mat back there's so much here to see and i can you really need a day here so i hope you enjoyed this video thank you very much for watching me please do feel free to like subscribe and comment and from the Technic Museum at Spire goodbye
