12 Steam Engines Driving to the GDSF 2011 - 28/08/11

[@TheSighphiguy]

thats one traffic impediment i could tolerate being stuck behind. just awesome!

[@timpruitt2417]

These are beautiful pieces of machinery. It's great to see them still running and in such great condition. Maybe the old workhorses should remain a bit gritty and dirty but they sure clean up nice.

[@thomasfletcher4765]

Australia has tractor trailer road trains , these guys have a whole new level of road trains

[@indridcold8433]

I hope I can work this hard when I am 95 years of age. I doubt I will even make it to 95. If I do, I will not be looking as good as these beautiful machines.

[@Liqui_bike]

Awesome

[@fredflinstone5431]

Great location, catching them on an uphill climb lets the personality shine with each machine.

[@wWDjDWw]

Amazing, so fucking amazing. How far we got in developement to the modern "tractors" I´m driving at work every day and those and amazing how people still keep such relics running, just because they´re, you know, awesome.

[@ellesmerewildwood4858]

I wouldn't have thought there'd even be that many of these machines left running let alone in such beautiful condition. Thanks for the video, my old pop would have loved to watch this video.

[@MrDaiseymay]

THEN---Take a look at ---''The Playpen'' as they call it, at the Great Annual Dorset Steam Fair, on You Tube. Hundreds of Machines of all kinds , 'dashing' around the Pen; an amazing sight to see.

[@eliotreader8220]

what a brilliant sight that was all those steam traction engines all traveling along the road to the the great dorset steam fair. when i lived in north Cornwal as a small boy l i used to see a lot of them going down the road

[@mreckes9967]

That's so cool, what a great bit of kit.

[@crapcbm]

oh man, what beautiful steams! that opens the heart

[@glyntutt]

Fantastic video. It also neatly shows why building railway lines and controlling gradients allowed the high torque that steam produces to be better used. just listen to those engines as they pull up a hill and then how they accellerate once the effective load is reduced. I am sure it will all come back once petrol and oil has been exhausted!

[@MrDaiseymay]

Coal reserves are huge--but---the snowflakes rule these days.

[@ΕΥΑΓΓΕΛΟΣΣΠΑΘΗΣ]

OMG.I WISH TO BE NEAR BY TO SEE THIS BEATY LIVE.NICE VIDEO.THANKS DANIEL.

[@andypetrovich2155]

Hell yea! We need more of this.

[@emdman1959]

That was an awesome display of power, loved it.

[@BNforever2009]

real nice-----great to see these antique steam machines restored and running

[@MrMikado282]

Lets just add a little more torque, OOPS I've spilled the whole bottle.

[@dankerthanclanker]

It does my heart good to see caravanists being held up.

[@ashboy225]

Apart from everyone you see with a caravan is going to Dorest haha

[@funsweed]

Woudnt that be great to go on a holiday with a steamer pulling your own little house on wheels . No rush , just enjoy the sound and country side

[@danielboxall8496]

No body would get pissed off with that on perfect day new or old stuff on show

[@carlnapp8673]

An impressive piece of British History.

[@johnjackson1106]

Enjoyed every minute. Thanks

[@RichardGMoss]

Love seeing those beauties in action. thanks.

[@charleskettering2626]

I have always enjoyed steam power, my uncle had a 12 hp. Star steam traction engine which we took to different shows.

[@MrDaiseymay]

WHAT HAPPENED TO IT?

[@ronaldmaxwell2568]

Now this is what engineering is all about.

[@markgamble8377]

excellent to see these gems

[@bangkapi10240]

Absolutely fantastic thanks very much for sharing

[@terrier_productions]

Steam Traction Engines are just so damn cool..

[@DerLabbeduddel]

Full Steam Power, Great Video, thanks a lot.

[@KiwiPowerNZ]

Great video! Do you know how far they went and how much coal they took with them?

[@สุทัศน์พึ่งวิทย์-ฆ2ธ]

พวกมัน สวยงาม มาก พวก มัน ใหญ่ ทรง พลัง ที สุด love u fc 2020

[@jimwayne5850]

Like that red one with winch!

[@darabradley5173]

Not flying machines but they’re faster than I would’ve thought

[@antiussentiment]

on yhe 9th December, 18 people were in the cars following these lovely old blokes.. ~ laughs ~

[@werewolfsharptooth]

something about a running steam engine that seems so calming to me I don't know why....

[@eversanchez7871]

Beautiful, amazing!!!

[@MrJohnestall]

Men never grow, up but the toys get bigger !

[@cymbalom]

I’m in love!

[@slambert00]

I kind of suspect that a Steam Fair is a weekend where you shovel coal and drink beer.. I would love to try that once

[@MrDaiseymay]

The one they are aiming for 'The Great Dorset Steam Fair', is a 5 day annual event. Seek out the 2018 , Centenary event, of the First World War. ON Y T, Much Military steam driven stuff, in Army colours, from Tractors, steam trucks to a Armoured Rolls Royce Scout Car. F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C.

[@StubProductions]

Very nice! Thanks!

[@Mopar-Pioneer]

Massive3 kudos to the drivers and firemen willing to take on this job on a modern high speed highway. Anyone know what top speed they actually achieved ?

[@DMSteam]

Most of the steam engines in this video could manage between 10-15 mph. However, top speed isn't what steam engines are about. They were built to pull HEAVY loads, so the gearing is designed with that in mind.

[@MistralZephyr]

Steam lorries such as the foden at 10:09 and the sentinel were more designed for speed

[@MrDaiseymay]

@@MistralZephyr I ABSOLUTELY LOVE STEAM TRUCKS AND BUSES, SO WACKEY.

[@MrDaiseymay]

On the Dual carriageways, there's no traffic to take advantage of it, ? A Great sight to see and enjoy. All local road user's, will know what to expect, it's only annual.

[@stestepney]

Excellent..well filmed..cheers Steve.

[@meade4573]

Full seam ahead!

[@organbuilder272]

Imagine what one of those with two cylinders might have done. -

[@thermidorlevrai65]

imagine thw 4 cylinders

[@nduncad686]

so i take it that these are still in heavy use in Europe sadly here in the states they are not used for work any more for various reasons i love the old dteam engines

[@tommeiner9983]

These aren't used for work :D

[@spencerwilton5831]

Nathan Duncan how antiquated do you think we are here in Europe? These haven't been used in many decades! These are examples preserved and restored by enthusiasts. They are far too valuable to be put to serious work, a good good example of a rare or desirable model would cost you hundreds of thousands of pounds!

[@organbuilder272]

But we did not see Fred Dibnah's engine - Betsey driven by his two sons - What has happened??

[@MrDaiseymay]

ANYONE ??

[@steamtractionworld]

Great Video, thanks for sharing

[@MarciusJV]

Incredible!! I would like to be there!

[@quintoflyer]

what a fantastic video

[@JintySteam1]

I love that sound

[@trespire]

The one pulling another tractor, seen at the end, looks like it's got more power & speed. Is that a later model ? Looks like it's got two cylinders on top of the boiler.

[@DMSteam]

The steam engine towing the other one was built in 1906 and is a more powerful engine, whereas the steam engine being towed was built in 1917.

[@trespire]

Thanks for the info. That 1906 starting 9:17 (is that the McLaren 897 Collossus ?) almost sounds like vintage WWII aircraft flying by. Closer sounding to a steam turbine than a popping cylinder action.

[@DMSteam]

Yes it is 897 "Colossus"... Very different to the 'standard' traction engine layout being a tandem compound. Here is a video from the footplate: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2Gcd516gr6HeJo

[@xANGRYxRIFLEMAN]

I bet half the people looking over in cars were going, "What the hell is that thing?"

[@garyc5483]

+xANGRYxRIFLEMAN We are quite used to the sight of these great engines at this time of the year in this area. Many people go for a day trip just to watch them on the road before they get to the Great Dorset steam Fair.

[@davidpulaski1562]

Works of art. Beautiful. But somebody forgot to put down the RR tracks.(!) : ^ )

[@Mudwiggler]

Nice Vid Well kept Machines.

[@steamtractionspotter8799]

they are rally cool

[@WheelsRCool]

You can actually build (or buy if you have the $$$ or don't know how or don't want to build) scale-model versions of these that are around the size of a Power Wheels vehicle, but real working steam models. Look up Live Steam tractors. Also locomotives :)

[@BritishLocoFilms]

Fanastic Shots, from 04:31 I know that place very well :D

[@juliantotriwijaya9208]

I just realized how loud they are :/

[@kennethmorgan4692]

Steam engines tend to out last anything newer than steam

[@388gruardian]

Old school heavy haul.

[@RenatoGigliottiMPh]

Steam Power Machines !!! Great !!!

[@onyourface207]

that was the only way back in the day.

[@MrDaiseymay]

Our Four Legged Friends too.

[@Schlepperherz]

Schönes Video !! Nice steam engine sound´s !

[@matthewjones8620]

so what are they doing for brakes

[@DMSteam]

The brakes on steam engines are generally wooden blocks that push onto the internal rim of the rear wheels They are surprisingly efficient!

[@samking73]

Most of the steam traction engines here in the U.S. do not have brakes.

[@louismorel2001]

@@DMSteam it is the same system on our french cars!

[@alexeykarpow7207]

Просто потрясающе, как люди относятся к своей истории !

[@yongwanan3333]

Good

[@trespire]

9:16 Fast and furious.

[@louisedwards4023]

I'll bet they don't text and drive

[@danielboxall8496]

like I say I know how I would like things to on that with that lady you want to spend the rest of your days with and she may be a bit late but it would be worth it

[@arielariesta7354]

Euro 6 approved

[@klausweiss7074]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@johntekuiti]

You would not be allowed to run around the roads like this in New Zealand.

[@MrDaiseymay]

never mind john---one day

[@joshlewis5065]

Steam tractor Gymkhana anyone?
