Although the museum is very much a 'steam generation' environment, other forms of power find their uses:

For many years children living on the rack section have had their own 'gravity' trolleys which I have seen used to move animal feed and vegetables too. Great if you get left behind after a runpast (1999):

There is also a set of inspection trolleys which are hired out to visitors and which provide the initial service to Tuntang. These are 1999 pictures.
