Anaglyphic 3D movie.
To view use a set of 3d glasses with the red filter over the left eye and the blue filter over the right eye.
There's a cross eye 3D version of this film here:

26 August 2007. Locomotive 3007, a 60 year old engine originally built in Glasgow returns to the city and is put on display in Goerge Square.
The 180-tonne steam locomotive which spent its working life in South Africa is to be an exhibit in the new Riverside Transport Museum.
This is my first experiment with my new digital 3D camera setup. I usually do still 3D photography but my new sony DSC-V3's do video so I thought I'd have a try at a 3D movie.
For those who ask how it's done:
You have 2 cameras strapped together with the lenses separated by about 6.5cm just like your 2 eyes. Start filming with your 2 cameras at precisely the same moment (that's the tricky bit - I use a box of electronic tricks to do this but you could also do a bit of post production editing to get your 2 films starting at precisely the same moment) You take the 2 resulting films and combine them with a program like "Stereo Movie Maker" which is excellent and free, so no reasons not to try it.
StereoMovieMaker will allow you to chose from several different 3d formats and will render up the final movie for you.

Just have to work on holding the camera still now.
Thanks to RogerTubed for the inspiration and advice.
