In this film there are a lot of horse powered vehicles, the forerunners of our cars: carriages. Actually the first cars were often called 'horseless carriages'. Let me show a few images from the series: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Omnibus ![]() ![]() ![]() Hansom ![]() Square Landau ![]() Stanhope Wagonette ![]() Dray or Open Wagon as used by Great Western Railway ![]() Car ![]() Trolley ![]() Waggonette ![]() Cee Spring Canoe Landau ![]() ![]() Brougham ![]() ![]() ![]() Shand Mason Steam Fire Engine ![]() Parallel Pump Fire Tender A lot of the names used for carriages are still being used for motor vehicles. And two more images from the time when one travelled by train: ![]() ![]() |

Only the first series ran from 1984-1985. The episode featuring the MMC horseless carriage, The Problem of Thor Bridge, aired in 1991, and is from the season/series called The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes which ran from 1991-1993 (including the full-length TV movies). How do we resolve this? Combine them and list "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" as 1984-1995? Or keep them separate and remove the MMC from here? -- Last edit: 2012-11-23 20:17:10 |
