Man that’s sad! I will miss that elevator too! This is the place where you got banned and got revoked, I remember that video from 2009.
Time flies!
I am so glad that I went to this building back in October 2020! It will definitely be missed in the elevator community, and I LOVE the motor on this elevator!
I totally agree!
Good morning @@DieselDucy
The elevator definitely does have an epic motor. It's sad to hear that it's going to be demolished, and I hope you can get parts from it.
Me too.
This is so upsetting, I used to watch this elevator almost all the time 12 years ago, so sad to see it go, we will never forget Bernard though lol.
He is a legend lol
I used to watch this video all the time when I was in middle school. I will never forget this Elevator
I remember when he filmed this elevator by getting permission, very nice pleasure
I am gonna miss this place.
Same
Noooo! 🥺😫 This elevator (and building)will definitely be missed
yes :(
@@Jonsgoofystuff i would keep that building
@@SamSitar yes if you asked the whole elevator community if they wanted to keep it, most likely everyone will respond "yes"
I will miss it but It is useless as anything besides a transit hub
This is such a nice building, I don't know why they want to demolish it!
It is useless as anything besides a transit hub
@@DieselDucy It has other uses! They could use this segment for the new renovated. Hopefully it will be a Signa 4!
Signa4 was discontinued. They could use an Otis Gen2 instead.
I really love this building
and elevator shaft
I am going to miss it.
This elevator will never be forgotten.
It lives on here.
The interior looks pretty nice! Those 80’s Westy elevators have nice fixtures that I really like.
I loved them.
This is so sad. 😔😔😔 That elevator and this beautiful building will always be in our hearts. ❤️❤️❤️
Yeah I will miss it.
At least we have an online recreation of it by me of course.
Will miss it 😰😭😢
Me too.
Outstanding
Thanks!
Hopefully you are able to have parts of that elevator!
I hope so!
Yep! It's the same one you rode with mack
I did.
Very sad to see this place and elevator go. They will truly be missed.
Me too.
I recall that big incident involving the janitor back a decade ago. Can't believe time flew really fast. It is really sad to see the whole place go
I am going to miss it.
Sad that I won’t get to see this when I visit within the next few months, but there are plenty of other places to see in Roanoke for sure! The Dominion elevators are high up on my list, for sure, as well as anything else vintage I didn’t ride last time. By the way, WELL done with the editing, it brings back memories from 4-5 years ago! 😊😉😃 I’m really enjoying the newer content A LOT!
The Dominions are gone too. Modded by OTIS
@@DieselDucy Oh goodness…. No more Dominions? Oof… I saw a video of one at a small building in Roanoke, but I think you’re referring to 707 Building… Knew those were gone, but there are at least 2 I think places that still have a Dominion or a Monarch.
Did you get parts from that Dominion?
Some buildings in downtown Louisville in Kentucky were newly built with the old front facades; on Whiskey Row.
Awesome
I wonder if this place was renovated to be like a mini-downtown shopping mall, or at least maybe a mixed-use complex. I mean you did say there WAS an escalator in here originally.
There was an escalator and this place will be torn down.
RIP Campbell Court 1986-2021
I know :(
Are you gonna be able to keep some parts for the museum?
gonna try
So sad to see this building go that elevator will sure be missed! I will never forget about the Bernard! Hope you can keep a elevator part from the building!
I'm hoping that they will give the elevator panel parts. This seems like a nice building. It's interesting looking. It will be sad to see it go. Can you show the demolition when it happens?
I hope to get them and I will if i am around when it happens.
I still remember this elevator.
it will be gone soon.
@@DieselDucy yep, by the time I come here, it disappeared.
Rip the Campbell court building. You will be always remembered
I will miss it.
Try and film the new elevators in the new building when they are up since some will be shops
most of it will be apartments.
I’m sure they’ll pick something nice like ThyssenKrupp, Kone or Otis. If you get permission to film the lifts in the new building. But I think Campbell Court should have been grade 3 listed. This building has a beautiful mix of 1900s and 1980s architecture. And the offices could have been converted into apartments.
Wait a minute... isn't Valley Metro route 15 called 15th Ave, and route 35 called 35th Ave, and route 41 called Indian School Rd? Also, Valley Metro's diesel Gilligs that are 40-ft are numbered 5600-5644.
*By year: 5600-5611 are MY2018, 5612-5624 are MY2019 and 5625-5644 are MY2020
*By garage: 5600-5631 are First Transit-West and 5632-5644 are Transdev-North
I am not sure about the route numbers but they have neat buses!
@@DieselDucy Here are tips to learn the Valley Metro routes:
*Route 35 (35th Ave) = 3500 West block
*Route 41 (Indian School Rd) = 4100 North block
*Route 7 (7th St) and Route 8 (7th Ave) are 700 blocks, where Route 7 is 700 East block and Route 8 is 700 West block. Different numbers to avoid confusion.
*Route 16 (16th St) and Route 17 (McDowell Rd) are 1600 blocks, where Route 16 is 1600 East block and Route 17 is 1600 North block. Again, change the last digit to prevent confusion.
*Route 96 (Dobson Rd) = Route numbers are based off the Phoenix grid as 9600 East. Dobson Rd is an RPTA-Mesa route, though Mesa has its own street grid.
Also, Valley Metro has CNG 40' Gilligs as well. Buses 5121-5274 for Phoenix and 6750-6810 with RPTA. The fleet also has New Flyer buses.
I can’t believe they would demolish that building. One of my dreams is to plan on visiting that elevator in the future but now I can’t. That elevator was always amazing when I watched it since from the older videos. I wonder if your able to keep the elevator buttons lol. Very cool metro buses by the way!
Ikr, I wish I'd known so I could make sure to stop here when I was in Roanoke earlier in the year
YEAH IM SO LIKE MAD THEYNSHOULD HAVE CLEANED THE BUILDING!!!!
Thanks!
Sadly it is about to be torn down :(
@@tcdplumbingmore9650 YEAH! I AGREE!!
Dieselducy, Is this the same place you visited when riding the elevator back in 2010? Or was it 2009?
yep.
This was definitely very famous elevator on the channel over the years, and it is sad to see it go. I hope you will to get parts for the elevator museum as a tribute.
With the new bus Depot being built, will you be filming there as well if it has a brand new elevator when the new facility opens up?
Hopefully he gets the parts
The new bus depot will be one floor.
@@DieselDucy I mean they could go extra and have a 1 landing elevator
Good morning @@DieselDucy Happy New year 2022
@@DieselDucy so the old westinghouse will be gone rip
So this was a bus depot this whole time?! I had no clue! Lol
yep.
Man i wish i was in Roanoke before it is being demolished but my flight for Florida is after demolition and we would be in Roanoke for transfer of flights
Aww man.
Dang it! I always wanted to see this place in person someday. It's like the visual definition of juxtaposition! But, at the same time, it always looks so immaculately cared for. It's a shame to see it go. Thankfully you have this (and other) video historical record(s) of it!
I know. At least it lives on in video.
Sad to see this building go.
Me too but It is useless as anything besides a transit hub
I remember that you rode this elevator with Mack
I did.
@@DieselDucy he's All grown up now, when you filmed that, he was only 11
This will rest in peace.. sadly didn’t get to see this when i came in October
It will be gone in a few days.
R.I.P goodbye old Westinghouse elevator 😞. I'll miss it even though I've never rode it unfortunately 😞
It was a nice elevator.
Are you going to try to get the COP for this elevator?
The calls yes. the cop is too big.
Are you going to try to get the lantern with the broken dinner bell along with the calls? I know the COP is too big and you won’t be able to take that but I figured if your going to get the calls you should try to get the lantern also.
I am gonna try to get everything I can.
The Campbell Court looked very retro. What will take the place of this building? Edit - apartments & stores? Maybe some plaza? I posted this comment prior to the video's conclusion.
I am going to miss it. Apartments and retail from what I read.
You should definitely attempt to try to get the fixtures and buttons from the elevator. That would be awesome to get those in your elevator collection. :)
That's the plan!
@@DieselDucyDid you get them?
Damn!! Rest In Peace Westy
I know right?
This must be your favorite Elevator. This is like the 3rd time that you filmed this elevator.
Im gonna miss it.
Aw man, that sucks that the building is going to get demolished. The elevator will be missed.
I will miss it.
You may be able to get the parts.
At least Bernard will not be missed!
TRUE :)
sad to see this building go since it was the first elevator Video I've watched on your channel, RIP Campbell Court, You Will Be Missed, now since you gave us a tour of the place, i can make a tribute to it in roblox
Awesome!
I remember that at the end of the video it died
Yep!
@@DieselDucy when was that? Because Mac was just 11 then. He's grown up now
It is a beautiful building build in the 1980's 42 years ago. It's a shame it is being demolished. Is the structure a non reinforced building?
It can't be used for anything other than a transit hub.
Is the parking garage being torn down too?
The whole place is.
What a beautiful building! It’s a shame they are going to demolish it
It is useless as anything besides a transit hub
This building was heavily renovated in the 1980s.
Will anything be salvaged from it?
I am going to try.
Are They Building A New One.
It will be apartments and retail.
When was like the year the elevator here was first installed? 1983? '84 maybe?
I BELIEVE 1984 or 86
Do you know what kinda music is it. 8:20
This building was built the same time as Valley View Mall.
It was.
I even see people go in and get to let's and go somewhere around the city
Didn’t you get banned some candle court building back in December 2009?
The ban was lifted and the person that kicked him out was fired.
@@DylanLTindall ok
Jay never went in there; NW Indiana Elevators.
Actually, he did back in October 2020.
I think he did.
That escalator was removed before that Bernard tragedy in late 2009.
Yeah. Would have loved to seen it
Was this the building they kicked you out of once?
Yep, it was. The person that kicked him out was fired.
Too bad the building is getting (or already got) demolished. I may not know much, but that westy was very famous
It has about a week left.
I really hope you at least get the parts from this elevator before demolition
I am going to try.
Yet another elevator I wanted to ride that I never got a chance to ride 😭
:(
It's a shame that they are demolishing this building. I always wanted to come and ride the elevator in it.
Yeah it only has a few days left.
You got banned from that building and unbanned, so it’s going to be bulldozed in favour of a new one?
It is useless as anything besides a transit hub
Wasn’t this the same place you got busted at?
You got chuaght here last time
in 2009
You should ask for the elevator parts
I am going to try.
What brand of elevator is that in the video? 🐔
Westinghouse.
Will it be a demolition with explosives?
I don't think so.
They will use a excavator probably
Roanoke's got lots of Gillig buses
They do.
removing that building is a mistake.
It is useless as anything besides a transit hub
Did the elevator get modded?
no.
I thought you wasn't supposed to film there
They dont care anymore.
@@DieselDucy oh ok
Nooooooo, I will be sad to see the elevator
I will miss it.
❤️
Thanks!
One word, Bernard
LOL yeah.
I Remember That Time You Got In Trouble And The Cops Came.
Yep!
Pull some parts from the westy
Hope to.
This building will be missed as well as the westy
I will miss it but It is useless as anything besides a transit hub
The Campbell court will be missed
Yes it will.
It's a shame this building will go but the motor is good on this elevator
I am going to miss it.
4:37 Man Powered Elevator
I’m sad miss the building will to demolition.
me too.
That evil caretaker works there. Hope he learned his lesson after the incident in 2009 with photography. It’s no threat to anyone at all.
I think he was fired long ago! Already did learn his lesson!
He is long gone.
Why would they demolish this building? it's connected to other buildings.
yeah. but they need it for apartments now :(
Too bad it's being demolished, I love the older architecture.
It is sad
A bus station takes up more than that building. They would have to demolish more of that block to make it happen.
Go back and ask the building owner if you can pull the parts please?! also do a video of the demolition.
I am definitely going to try.
When do you plan to ask though?
New video?
yep.
Which is your favorite elevator?
Dover.
@@DieselDucy ok
How is it so famous
Looks like a abanded hotel
It is a transit station and office building.
NOOOOOOOOO
I know right?
@@DieselDucy Why is it being demolished?
@@DieselDucy Also, will you film the demolition?
What they going turn this place into Andrew
Why the heck do they want to demolish the building? That building is not that old, is it?
1980s
@@DieselDucy Yeah, not that old. They could have renovated it or something, other than tearing the building to the ground.
That old building was gutted and renovated in the 80s.
I wish they would quit with making the buses into billboards with all the silkscreen window coverings and decals. It's long since becoming a nuisance. I liked the building's open design.
