These really have a lovely sound to them especially under load...

Ich habe mir vor ungefähr 20 Jahren die „Puffin“ von Cheddar gekauft. Diese Maschine hat ebenfalls 2 Zylinder, allerdings in Reihe und der Hubraum ist größer. Diese Machine habe ich in ein Dampfboot eingebaut. Trotz fachgerechter Schmierung mit Spezial Dampföl, war die Maschine nach ungefähr 6 Std. Betrieb, irreparabel verschlissen. Ich war total enttäuscht, rausgeworfenes Geld.🙀🙀🙀🙀Viele Grüße aus Warthausen bei Biberach an der Riss.

Is that the original speed control lever from the clockwork motor? I guess from the other parts you started with a modern fake gramophone 🤔. Thanks 😀 👍

I'm really chuffed to see so many beautiful steamed engines in operation! Thank you!!!

Three cheers to all of you for braving terrible weather to film this for our enjoyment. Much appreciated and please keep doing this. Those are some very intetresting engnes - thanks for saving our heritage!

One should start 2 days earlier ..... ❤

Bril lil thing :D The wow and flutter make it ideal for these who want to dance but cant be bothered by rhythm :D like myself :D and honestly I would not choose any other record for this kind of presentation :D thank for sharing with the World.

great footage of the model steam engines being run with steam being supplied by a full sized traction engine

Very nice! Is that a Stuart A6?

I have an identical base casting and engine unit (no boiler) unfortunately no idea of make either, yours looks and runs a treat

My goodness this brings back memories. I grew up with Nero, a Burrell Show man's engine and spent many happy hours helping my uncles with preparation and lots of polishing of brass. The pay off was to be steers man and occasionally when older to do all the prep work and get her in steam ready for the off when they got back from work.

Good

❤❤ Hy

Brilliant machine I run a 36”, 48” and 60” still holds tolerance to 0.001”

What engine ?

Wow. A beautiful old engine. I love steam engines. Great. Nice work on saving it. It runs so smooth.

A nice runner - looks well-preserved! 👍

Lovely, Shuttleworth are nearing the end of their portables restoration

Nice, I'm pleased someone is giving these portables some love !

Fun fact steam is still the most efficient and cost effective way to generate electricity.

Torque, 10,000 ft. lbs.; Horse Power, 24.

No numbers? Curious on what they were producing.

Beautiful old engines. I just love it

I'm so excited to see Excelsior

Beautiful engine.

A nice steamy treat to wake up to on a Sunday morning.

Fantastic video! What an amazing looking place, and so much to do, and also trailer rides behind a real life traction engine, I shall have to take the family

I’m here because I followed the link from Massey Dave’s channel. Mighty stuff.

Beautiful engine

This isnt a fire engine, it was supplied to Candy & Co, Brick and Tile Works in Newton Abbot. It is believed to have been used for pumping water & slurry in the clay pits

Merryweather "C" size boiler?

Is that a Marshall compound ?Mine is an Allchin single cylinder.

It's just great to drive the model machines in this way. The many small cylinders definitely have more volume than the single cylinder on the green steam tractor. 😁😉 Greetings Michael

Excellent video. Very nice machines.

The dream!

That's a nice engine! What vehicle or machine does it power?

What a beautiful old machine. I love these old traction engines

Hello Jim (NOT Colin!). As we discussed on the Sunday, your collection of model steam engines all actually running on steam was a marvellous sight to behold. Thank goodness that you took a high quality video because my mobile has gone belly-up during a software update and a local computer company is trying to save my data. In the meantime they told me to put the SIM into an old phone whereupon I saw your text message and link to your site. Thus I shall now be able to send a link to it to the SMEE Whatsapp Engine Builders Group. I spoke to them shortly after the show on a Zoom chat and they were mighty envious of my having seen such wonderful models working.

I can't fully imagine what commanding that beast feels like but I am a little bit jealous about it :)

That’s tiny Tim

Fantastic Video of the weekend Jim, I definitely had fun Trundling about on the 5 inch Foster over the 2 days and met some great people like yourself.

That's a lot of Amps. Plus minus 300 Amps and 100v AC. Which is about if I'm not mistaken 30 kilo watts of power.

There bloody zooming

Interesting video, the engine looks to be working well on the governors. Burrells used the cross arm type governors changing to their own high speed governors for a few years before settling on the common Pickering type. It would be interesting to see a close up of the governors when the extra load was applied. Thanks for sharing this film.

Can't beat a Traction engine working hard, I have never seen this before, I presume it's a way to "test" both the Engine and Dynamo? many thanks for posting.

Sounds wonderful, looks beautiful.

Magnificent, she sounds spot on! My family name is Cole also… wonderful!

Can we see more videos of this turbine run without load

The sound is amazing

I got a cheddar goliath in 2002 for my 18th birthday. She was supplied extremely stiff due to not having been run in at all, she has been my main locomotive ever since and only needed to go in for maintenence in 2024 when her vavle gear FINALLY slid out of time. At which point, despite heavy usage, she was deemed to still be in almost perfect condition mechanically. (minus needing a new safety valve) Cheddar engines are noticably too large for scale, but strong, reliable and amazingly well built and engineered, but the only models in scale too use iron for the bodywork.
