Unlikely. Just seeing that stuff wouldn't magically give you the prerequisite expertise to build it up.

this

[(Anonymous)]

they'd need to have studied all the engineering and science-y stuff behind it all

or else be like super geniuses that do have an innate understanding of how to make some things work

but it's hard to reverse-engineer a memory of something so small and complex that they only know how they work in the most abstract of ways

[(Anonymous)]

Storybrooke was a functioning town, though, and everyone still has memories of who they were there, so they've got plumbers and engineers and mechanics. You might not necessarily have anyone who ever designed a central heating system, for example, but you'd probably have enough people who have memories of being trained to assemble and repair them to extrapolate how some of it works. And as for the rest, magic.

[(Anonymous)]

Dude I can unclog a toilet but I damn sure could never build an entire plumbing system. Knowing how something works just enough to fix it when it's broken does not give you the skills to recreate that thing.

[(Anonymous)]

Indoor plumbing, central heating, I bet they could. The ancient Romans managed it.

Mobile phones -- any kind of computer -- and vaccinations, I bet they couldn't. (Maybe your cowpox-type inoculation, but you can't get that for everything.)

Electricity I'm not sure about.

[(Anonymous)]

Provided Whale comes back with them, they'll probably manage electricity. Plus who knows how many mad scientist/inventor characters are wandering around Storybrooke? Some of the writers and actors were joking about 'Red Riding Hood, Snow White, and Cinderella walk into a bar'--but it could just as easily be 'Dr. Moreau, Dr. Jekyll, and the Phantom of the Opera walk into a bar.' And originally the Sheriff character was supposed to be Sherlock Holmes. Get enough Victorian and pulp literature characters together and they'd manage electricity and vaccinations. Add in the curse-memories of computer and software engineers going back to 1983, and provided they worked together without killing each other, they'd probably have to worry about nuclear weapons at some point, because mad scientists and nuclear superweapons go together almost as well as Igor and Tesla coils. And it's a long shot, but as Disney now owns Lucasfilm, there may be Star Wars characters wandering around. Who knows? Not that I think the show will go there, but it's fun to speculate anyway.

[(Anonymous)]

Ever since Disney bought Lucasfilm my battle cry has been "Give me Snow White in an X-wing!"

OP here.

i've been researching Roman plumbing and heating and I think it's doable. They'd probably need magic to make up for all the slaves they don't have.

A cowpox type vaccination would help, so would a basic understanding of handwashing/sterilisation/cleanliness.
