 thank you for joining me that was two class 4442 zeros on the southwestern main line we're just west of Beijing Stoke and we've come here today to visit the Milestones Museum which is just here now this is the town that never rains inside this museum inside this barrel arts building is a whole town completely built town set in two different eras so we'll explore them as we go around so as it's inside that's the reason it never rains so we've come here today to explore this museum see what there is to see there's lots of exciting things and I came in my ladder which you can just see parked over there so I've already been in I've had a good look around told them I was going to come out come back in again so here we go there's the shop there there's a vehicle there so as we come into here so that's just there that's where you're paid to go in but they knew I was coming back in there's the shop and then if you look over here you get a great view over the town so we're going to go down these steps and we're going to explore just over there behind the shop is the rooftops cafe called that for fairly obvious reasons it looks over the rooftops I think as I come down these steps and see the town like this it's a bit like reminds me of it Beckinscott model village where I've made numerous videos in the past except unlike Beckinscott it's not a model it's real we're actually going to go down there and we're going to have a really good look around inside we're going to go in and out all these buildings have a look and there's various other little museum bits so here quite interesting the history of cameras I'm not gonna go for every camera because I'm no expert on cameras although I use one all the time for these videos imagine though it's always around the 1800s and I was carrying that around to make my videos I think it would be a lot more complicated then you go through you know various different ones we get to sort of Kodak and you know I remember then when I was younger whenever I go to a gala I always think Kodak would have made a fortune in those days and I did have some cameras a bit like that when I was younger and so yeah cameras it's something I use all the time but now let's go and look around a much older era the Victorian sort of era 1930s sort of it's not set in any particularly year but it's just what you'd have seen you know over different times so if we come to down here let's explore the town where it never rains so lots of steam engines here very steam rollers tractor and engines of various different types so we'll be able to see them and there's a model here this is good here we have one we'll see a similar one full-sized one this one doesn't power itself it's for powering machines like this and if I press this button all springs into action this is a steam freshing machine so the hay would go in the top straw tail straw not firm or one of the effect goes through here it come out as bales at the end so there's also a good model of them going back to Beck and Scott they've got a model of one of them there we have steam roller let's go in here here we have a workshop powered by what would call a semi-portable steam engine you know it could be moved welcome to all the iron work so that steam engine would have powered all these machines so you've got a length here you've got a horizontal milling machine there all sorts of things there's a cutaway of a boiler so the fire would be in there the water through these trees we come out here into the town we have another steam engine traction engine steam engine over there that's a bit like the little model we just saw go back through here says it's quite an interesting iron work that's worth a look waterloo iron works founded 1813 so it's going to see what we can see in here here is the manager's office of the iron works just up there is a bridge model of a bridge of the sort of thing the company would have made and around here some of the products so they've made everything from iron rings benches tops of conservatories and oranges road signs like that one or more signpost rather and here we have you see the bellows there so there's you know what bellow is pull that down that would blow air onto the fire and here we have some of the patterns so the castings would have been made in sand in these patterns there'd have been a wooden mock-up in his example see that there that's the wooden mock-up then printed that into the sand and then like the picture shows that afford the molten iron in and beside it is the finished iron product so it's all very interesting there's so much to see here I've been here well I got here about 11 half 11 and it's now the afternoon most people have gone home so it's a very good time for me to be making this video and it's a really good place you can easily spend a day here and especially if it's raining it's great both come out rains because you don't need to worry about getting wet because never rains here and what's this one here there's just so many of these rooms like I said it's basically Beckinscott but you can actually go in the houses because you are not a giant person another steam engine there and I don't know every type of steam engine there is but you know I do find it all quite interesting that's just the tram lines in the in the rails we will see a tram later but that would be the tram depot that building there it's filled this particular it's a sawmill so we'll go in have a look around the sawmill so where steam engines they would have of course powered the sawmill they have another steam engine a little giant steam engine going into here look at all this here's all the tools you'd have and then we go through here I don't know what some of these are I embrace to use these drill and our drill various planes quite small planes there's chisels and everything through here there's an old vacuum cleaner there maybe that's for all the dust they get from the wood I'm not too sure and as we come around here we're now down the other end of the sawmill so these would like be the logs arrived from the forest ready for beings here a steam train going past there's various sounds there's not actually a steam train or at least I hope there's not actually a steam train going past it on the main line but they have all the sounds of various things going on whining that would be this blade spinning round so this man here look at the concentration on his face I don't normally go put my camera in people's faces but I don't think this bloat mines and then this gentleman here see he's turning to the chain and that's pulling this log through soaring up into planks got down there so that's a sawmill and very interesting we go through here we can see some more steam engines inside there's some caps on the roof so I think this one is steam roll I find it's quite fascinating the steering if you look at this so there's the steering wheel steers this rod that's called a worm gear so that turns this here and then that would make the front wheel turn interesting the boiler I've never seen one but boy look at that angle before they have a steam log so it's a bit like going to steam log except everything is static but still good to see there's more machinery see have a live in there this one I think it's one must be a diesel or petrol one had a good study pretty sure it's not steam mega sorry it's a roller although diesel rollers seem to always be called steam rollers it just seems to be the world that's a steam diesel but it's not steam at all it's a diesel roller but still it's known as a steam roller so it come back out here and walk around the corner some vehicles and then here's one of my favorite exhibits a tram as you know I do like trams so this tram we've got here on the whole as I said most exhibits tend to be local or at least from Hampshire this the sweet shoppers closed but I didn't want any sweets well we'll talk I will point out that here we have a Portsmouth Corporation tramways number 84 so obviously this would have run in Portsmouth until the system closed and then if you look in front of you how that's the vintage tea tent that's also now closed enough tea and cake there over there is a railway station obviously we're going to go and have a look in that but my favorite exhibit now I'm being a bit biased here but this is my favorite exhibit a steam locomotive it's like warmer now I believe it was at the Longmore military railway which again was a big military railway in Hampshire this engine ended up at a museum up in Beverly in Yorkshire on military transport which unfortunately that museum is closed so the exhibits ended up in various places believe was this one built by it's built by Avonside of Bristol in 1910 so and it's worked number 1572 so 1910 so over 100 years old she is but that will ever get her for haulage you never know she might be steamed one day and they replace her with something else and there's a coal wagon yeah I expect you pretty want to have a look in the railway station so let's go inside and see what there is in here so this station it's a Great Western style station which is a bit ironic because we are in Southern Territory although some railways did push their way into Southern Territory some Great Western ones here reminds me a bit of Kidderminster station on the Seven Valley Railway but I'll show you what it actually is I believe it must the original one must have been the same architect as Kidderminster although Kidderminster is a modern reproduction but there is the ticket office now if we go into here I have some more of my favorite exhibits a good double-o gauge model railway now this is a model railway of the other station in Winchester the Great Western railway station in Winchester so you can just see is a panoramic tanker and also a carriage there's also a Britannia and behind there's a London stuff Western Railway locomotive a rather large model and also we have a really nice model here of a schools class locomotive so there's three of these in existence and there's Stowe there's Cheltenham and there's another one it'll come to me all coming on screen now so this is a schools class locomotive always like it says start so let's see if we can make this model railway go into action oh and that's Alton Hall there or to most more modern people these days it's modern times it's known as Hogwarts Castle I press start but yeah that's the model railway here and you can see if you look at that station building down there that is what we're in we're in the full-size one of them so that's the Winchester Great Western station one day I have to go down to Winchester we could do a video on the city on the various historic buildings and perhaps have a look at some of the old railways so as we now walk we'll go past see the steam engine again and the tram again so yeah this kind of is my favorite part the museum but there's a lot of other really exciting things to see here we'll walk through and I'll show you everything else probably what I'm gonna actually do is do more than one video here today because there's a bit too much to put onto one video so because there's two different areas and there's also something else which I'll show you later on and we'll do it like that here this is the school so yeah school wasn't really my favorite period of life going to school it's never allowed to do what I wanted and was that study stuff wasn't interesting but anyway have a look at this this is interesting there's the points there on the tramway network so here in that under this is what you call a manhole it's not a manhole but anyway no I mean that's where you to change the points so if you were tram coming this way you could go that way to the depot or that way where the tram currently is and there's various illusion of the railway bridge over there this is the fire station this is quite a fascinating building here we have a steam fire engine it's not actually steam powered or it's not propelled the steam engine doesn't propel itself so that had been pulled by a horse or another vehicle it's purely a steam pump and then if we go in here a very old fire engine I'm not sure how to pump on that one would have worked if we come into here you can see some hand pumped fire engines so imagine that four firemen would have stood there they'd have pumped really hard to put the fires out there's all the ladders so yeah and I have the old leather buckets there's the post office let's go through here there's something here I'm gonna do something in our video I'm just gonna point you out seems a bit funny to find this here in base look milestones peer yes it's appear and there's all the game to the thing so they do it in our video so have a look at link on screen now we'll do that later that's gonna be good fun let's just go down here so like I said the museum is currently slow it's just it's winter everyone's gone home it's a weekday so I haven't actually got this place quite to myself it just kind of gives that a lose and hence why chose today to make this video this is another one of the many shops you can go inside look at this often see these this one of those you are allowed to play some toys okay now this probably isn't gonna go well I'm gonna try anyway on camera can I manage this it's like you have to sort of run along and make it go it's gonna be yeah that's not working you can't it's gonna be pretty really hard to do yeah okay I'm gonna need more practice with this before I can leave that there but yeah you can you can play with some of the toys which is quite nice over there by that steam engine is actually going hopscotch on the pavement you can play that but I don't know how to play it so I'm not going to and but the point is I'm making as you can interact the other thing you can do interacting is the pub there it's closed now because it's later on the day but earlier on you could go in there and have a pint so what I did when I got here because I had driven I wanted to have a pint but I went and had it straight away I don't normally have a pint in the morning I had a pint in the morning just so I could say I'd had a pint here and then I've had all day to walk it off that's one of the little houses there look you can have a look through there let's go through here then look you can see in the other side where we just were there's the old Timber so I suppose behind here should be the toilet oh I'm sorry I'm sorry sorry yeah there's a man on the toilet in there sorry so well yeah I'm gonna leave him let's go back out here a bus nice old bus what's this this is the gas works here we have the gas works gas powered engine they like steam engine gas meters rise with it so I used to go holiday to well as you see some similar gas meter just put money in the gas meter let's have another look out here here we have a garage so you can see there's all various talking stuff through there that's another era for another video there's a Saddler's you're going to sell your horse up nice old bus we have a look through the window the Papier look so I sat and had a pint in there earlier I must say it was very good ale through here so I'm kind of coming to the end of this video but like I said I've done this half once you go round there it's a different era so I'm gonna put that in another video just because I think there's a lot to see here but here we have another area in here well more engines this is all the wagons you know different country wagons you'd have got for transporting various goods and stuff if you look what I discovered here if I'm quite fascinating different counters have different wagons that's a Hampshire wagon Hampshire's where we are now Dorset East Anglia and Glomorgan, Herefordshire and there's a load of ales there beers and ales good place and the pub was next door wagons so I'll show you where we go through into the 1930s and 40s era area but like I said that is gonna be a different video so what I'm gonna do it's through there you can see the Art Deco buildings but they are for another video so from Milestones Museum I hope you enjoyed this video do look out there's gonna be a couple more thank you very much for watching please do feel free to like subscribe and comment you know do come and visit Milestones if you want to come by train it's about a mile west of the station so you can either walk or get a bus or there's a large car park as I did drive here so from Milestones thank you very much for watching goodbye
