Guy Martin is, as the brits would say, a top bloke. So laid back and genuine, and endlessly curious about the world. You cannot go wrong with anything he's in.

[@Dusk.EighthLegion]

Top Gear wanted to get him on their "Star in a Reasonably Car" segment, and he refused because he doesn't consider himself a celebrity. He's not only a top bloke, he's a top Guy innit.

[@andrewobrien6671]

Any documentary, or travelogue by Guy Martin is marvellous and his world records are epic and so varied. Well done fellas

[@madyottoyotto3055]

Especially his lesser known series about The world's most iconic engines Awesome series

[@TheEclecticBeard]

If I knew I wouldn't get a strike or block I'd have reacted to this A Long Long Long time ago. Love Guy Martin. Dude's born out of time I think

[@mikeymikeFType]

Guy….our very own Wolverine. His Pikes Peak Hill climb on his home built motorbike is epic. Well to be fair everything he does is epic.

[@lennymarsh1323]

As someone primarily raised by the war time generation, my whole world was filled with men like Guy and Fred, permanently dirty and donned in greasy boiler suit, being creative and clever. Being dragged around yards, sat building stuff in sheds and garages. I loved it as i was always given the job of making a fire and keeping it going, then being allowed to cook stuff on it, always took my toasting fork. Watching these programmes takes me back to happy days.

[@The_Stranger1986]

Salt of the earth, humble, curious, genuine. Guy is the guy lol

[@Dusk.EighthLegion]

You know you were born in the good old days when every man you knew was rocking boilersuits.

[@mancbiker17]

It’s amazing how this down to earth fella has a knack for turning his hand to pretty much anything and actually excelling at it 🥰

[@Aloh-od3ef]

This episode was filmed at the the severn valley railway. 12 years later the the severn valley railway are still open and are doing well. They also continue to restore the old trains 🙂

[@thoughtful_criticiser]

Guy has a load of world records but the record he is most proud of is that he has put hundreds of lorry tractor units through his local Ministry of Transport testing centre without a single fail. The testing centre has a reputation for really strict.

[@lulusbackintown1478]

I love the way Guy gives the grafters a shout out. The Brits and Irish have always been grafters , something our supposed betters should remember

[@carlosdeferrer3585]

As others have said everything this man has done on TV is worth watching.Thanks for watching this type of thing you also seem to take great pleasure from it.

[@shaunbyrne9037]

The Last Flight of The Vulcan Bomber XH558 is a particular favourite programme of mine with Guy . So many great series to delve into as well as individual programmes . A rabbit hole you will love .

[@philiprowney]

Funny that, I watched some of 'The boat that Guy built' the other day and thought he was doing a Dibnah! Top bloke Guy, can't get better!

[@polythenewrappedme6102]

You want to listen to Guy Martin recall when he purchased, in real life, a Rolls Royce Merlin engine from a Spitfire. It is basically an effing great engine, with an aircraft propeller on wheels. Guy recalls has it came with instructions not to rev it to the max. But Guy being Guy thought such safety nonsense was for whimps. So he managed to disconnect the safety limits. He revs it more and more, till it takes off INSIDE HIS HOUSE !! The propeller slicing its way through a staircase and a wall ! Then he giggles as he recalls his wife have him a damn good roasting ! A funnier sketch you won't find. You have to watch it. Guy tells the story far better than me. It is in KZbin.

[@Silvermachine7]

So glad you have started this journey guys. Whatever you watch that involves Guy Martin, you will leave informed and with a big smile on your face. You have a long journey, there is a lot to see and I am sure you will love every minute of it. I look forward to travelling with you.

[@neilmorrison7356]

Guy Martin is also a competitor in the Isle of Man TT If you do another one of this serious I would suggest the one where they restore a Spitfire.

[@tazzatamania]

Glad you've found you way here, Guy is definitely the nearest thing to a modern day Fred Dibnah. Never seen anything of his that i didn't enjoy, honestly. Fearless like Fred too.

[@highpath4776]

When diesel / electric engines were introduced they had to install an over/hob for the driver's use in the cab

[@garyrussell6614]

You kneed to watch him rebuilding a spitfire if you haven't seen already.

[@highpath4776]

Apart from Steam Locomotives in regular rotational overhaul there are about 50 locomotives that are candidates for full restoration to running order

[@john9508]

Being a fantastic motorbike racer and multi world record holder and not scared to try anything. I have met him a couple of times at bike races and he is an absolute lovely guy to talk to.

[@keith6400]

5:35 All railways started as a system of conveying freight usually materials from mines to factories. Small individual disconnected branches that later got joined up. Finally a passenger service was introduced with the development of the system. In the UK railways came on the back of canals which again were industrial enterprises.

[@yorkshirefazer]

i love all guy martin's videos. he has an amazing infectious enthusiasm. couple that with being a down to earth, working man, makes him fascinating in my opinion.

[@vaudevillian7]

Just reiterating these are the engineering, military, speed record travel shows (sometimes a mix of those genres in one) of Guy you will both love. He’s hands on in all of them: The Boat that Guy Built - 6 eps - (more Dibnah style stuff where he travels around British rebuilding a narrowboat (mostly the interior and painting the exterior) - this is his first TV series Speed with Guy Martin - 14 eps - another series you’ll love, where Guy tries to beat mad speed records, often very hands on, includes Pikes Peak and Nevada Silver State Classic attempts (the second in a Transit van). Also includes two F1 special episodes. Guy Martin’s Spitfire - special - Guy helps rebuild a Mk I Spitfire fighter from WW2. Amazing story behind it too Our Guy in India - 2 eps - Guy travels around India Guy Martin: Last Flight of the Vulcan Bomber - special - Guy helps prepare the last flying Vulcan for its final flight ever Our Guy in Latvia - special - Guy travels around Latvia exploring his Latvian heritage Guy Martin’s Wall of Death Live - special - this was a live attempt to beat the world record for the biggest / fastest wall of death ride Our Guy in China - 3 eps - naturally, Guy travels around China Guy Martin's WWI Tank - special - Guy attempts to build a replica WW1 tank to drive through Lincoln near where Guy (and myself) are from and where the tank was invented Our Guy in Russia - 3 eps - what it says on the tin Guy Martin: The World's Fastest Van? - special - Guy tries to beat the Nurburgring record in his Transit Van Guy Martin's D-Day Landing - special - Guy trains with the British Parachute Regiment to jump out of a WW2 transport over Normandy Our Guy in Japan - 2 eps - probably my favourite of his travel shows Guy Martin's Battle of Britain - 2 eps - Guy trains as a WW2 pilot in accelerated time with the goal of winning a dogfight Guy Martin's Great Escape - special - Guy tries to recreate iconic scenes from the movie and tie it to history Guy Martin: The World's Fastest Electric Car? - special - pretty self explanatory, Guy tries to break the electric vehicle record Guy's Garage - 4 eps - Guy works on 4 iconic and unusual vehicles with the end goal of racing them all each episode Guy Martin's Lancaster Bomber - special - Guy pays homage to WW2 bomber crews and tries to experience what each role might have entailed Our Guy In Colombia - 2 eps - again self explanatory There’s also: - Guy Martin vs the Robot Car - Guy Martin's Great British Power Trip (about the generation of electricity) - Guy Martin: World's Fastest Tractor (tries to break a tractor speed record)

[@stuartwhelan3258]

You wanna see him and his Merlin engine. Guy is a legend boys.

[@Damien.Young46]

Guy Martin is great.. you should check out all his attempts at speed record breaking.. brilliant

[@Live-by2vk]

Have you only just discovered guy martin? If so, you’re both in for a treat. I think many of us are just a little bit in love with this bloke, so hands on, so talented. And loves a good cuppa tea! Check out him going to Japan and then check James may going to see the same sword maker and just see how much more the grand master (same gentleman) let’s guy martin do than he lets James do. That and being allowed to work on the Vulcan, oh and be allowed to be part of the pit crew during an actual F1 race, they even double stacked! You don’t get trusted to do the things this man does unless you are a true talent.

[@rogerdarbyshire5664]

I actually have one of those watches, but it's broken. The reason it's broken is because it belonged to my great grandfather, who was a station master at a station only about 15 miles from Fred Dibnahs house. He was killed in an accident in a shunting yard, and the watch was damaged at the same time.

[@DickusCopernicus]

I am part of a team, at Bo'ness, that has been doing a heavy overhaul of Std 4 Tank 80105 since 2014. I cannot see much of an overhaul in 5 months. With any luck 80105 should be back in traffic this summer. A boiler washout even on a heritage railway should be every month, not annually.

[@KayHutchinson-x1i]

Strange the Brit’s gave the world so much to improve all our lives in return it seems the Brit’s are hated by the world and the same world wants to blame the Brit’s for all its issues . Sure is a strange situation. Seeing videos like this just makes me proud of my nation

[@maximus6622]

Totally agree buddy, upsets me as well the way the world perceives us. Britain has some things to be ashamed of in our past, but we have also done a lot for the world. We are always one of the first countries to offer aid/assistance to other countries in a crisis, as well as being one of the most charitable. I don't care what the world thinks, like yourself I'm proud to be British🙏

[@bighawk23]

People dont hate the Brits but just for arguments sake, as an Irishman, I've had many British friends and what really hits home is the lack of knowledge of your own history. I don't blame modern Brits for what happened in the past but most don't recognise what happened or simply don't know

[@maximus6622]

@bighawk23 Fair comment. One of the things that us Brits should recognise is the atrocious way we ruled and treated you Irish in your own country, I do. Also to be fair, it's us English that have to take responsibility, not really the Scots, Welsh and NI. Obviously it was a long time ago and I'm glad many Irish people, like yourself are starting to let the past go. Obviously it does take a long time to forgive, fully understand that. So many Brits have Irish relatives/ ancestors, ( you lot breed like rabbits lol ) Seriously though, much more in the world to worry about, so hopefully our two countries can stick together in the future 🙏

[@andycooper6085]

Establishment foriegn policy is the problem - that and supporting America's oil wars in the 'special relationship' :(

[@KayHutchinson-x1i]

@@bighawk23 amber you are right I think we all know that we have both good and bad in our past, we fought wars to free others we give and the world takes that’s the problem maybe we should be looking out for our own and stop being a bank for the world, It seems that those that offer the least help are loved by all

[@christophercarr3755]

Anything Guy Martin does is ever so cool, love his stuff

The Severn valley railway is local to me i took my 4 year old on the Christmas special train and he loved it ....nice to have this heritage in my home town

Great to see Millennium guys appreciating a solid days graft

[@ColinLindsay-g3d]

Our Guy in Japan is my favourite. Great show.

[@dee2251]

Been on the Severn Valley Railway where this steam train was restored many times. It’s a beautiful journey and how epic that we still get to see these trains restored back to their former glory and working. You can’t compare the modern trains of today with these beauties. It’s a privilege and an experience to ride on them.

[@TheMish65]

Guy Martin lives just down the road for me. Have met him a couple of times and he's just as you see him here. He also fixes one of my friends trucks.

[@lyndapotter8591]

Guy has metal pins in his legs and ankles, and steel rods etc in his spine..that is why he walks strange..great great man

[@steelpanther9568]

At 15:46, Guy Martin is sat at Arley Station, It is the train station that most of the TV Sitcom Series “Oh Doctor Beaching” was set at, Oh, Doctor Beeching! is a BBC television sitcom, written by David Croft and Richard Spendlove, and produced for the BBC. After a pilot for the programme was broadcast in August 1995, full production was green-lighted, with the sitcom running for two series from 8 July 1996 to 28 September 1997. The series focuses on the lives of the staff who run the fictional station of Hatley on a rural branch line who find themselves attempting to finding the means to keep their station open in the wake of news that Dr. Richard Beeching has promoted plans for the closing of many branch lines and their respective stations. Filming of the sitcom included exterior shots taken at Arley railway station on the Severn Valley Railway. The series was the last of three comedies that Croft co-wrote to feature many of the same actors from his previous works of Hi-de-Hi! and You Rang, M'Lord?, and the last full series sitcom for him to create. Despite good initial viewing figures, the show was axed after two series following extensive problems competing with other programming on the BBC. You get an awesome view of the station in the background where they are relaying the track, in the short clip at 19:05, 🇬🇧😎👍🏼

[@brxee]

Guys, The Pogues did a great song called Navigator. You should check it out.

[@mrsiborg]

Now that is how TV should be.

[@davidmckie7128]

The clock was set in London and locked in a box. At every station en-route they set their clocks to the one in the box, all the way down the line. (synchronising the clocks).

Oh nice! I have this on my watch list, thank you guys (as always) Brilliant!

[@johnperry503]

Hi Guys, You're right Guy Martin is Fred Dibnah's successor in experincing what made Britain a great industrial nation. We are now a great heritage nation however and it is good to see that some young kids are getting skilled up to keep some of these heritage industries going. Great work guys, keep giving the working people a voice in this executive heavy world.

[@davidhill3542]

I live not far from Bridgnorth Station. Its a great day to see, hear and smell the engines.

[@johnnybeer3770]

Guy is never happier than when he's covered in grime and dirt , and never shy's away from manual graft .🇬🇧

[@Tommy-he7dx]

Guy in Japan are a great watch, the Craftsmen there fall in love with him, and it shows that skilled process has no language.

[@davidmarsden9800]

The difference between Guy and Fred is that Fred already knew how the industrial revolution worked and had the traditional skills and machinery in his garden sheds. In addition he was a skilled draughtsman. But Guy is a good successor.

[@adamdalton3492]

This is a great series to watch The boat that guy built . He makes alsorts for his narrow boat . He's a great character

The British seem to have a huge love affair with steam trains, there are several dozen heritage railways in the UK, some of them are entirely unique, and run through some wonderful scenery, and predominantly run by unpaid volunteers.

[@charlesfrancis6894]

I am old enough to remember travelling on those steam trains and one never forgets that smell that drifted through the open window .Life in general was taken at a slower pace and i remember single events that would today look strange such as the manner in which people would react to a normal funeral cortege passing when policemen would salute and men would remove their hats and limbless soldiers of WW1 could still be seen, my next door neighbour had a metal plate in his head from WW1.The point i'm making is it could almost have been another planet compared to today.

[@tomarmstrong5244]

Thank you, guys. It's absolutely brilliant to see Guy Martin doing his Dibneh. 😊 oops, that sounds a bit wrong. 😅 I love that you too really enjoy watching this kind of documentary as I have from being a small girl here in Britain. My dad was an engineer, aircraft designer in WW2, draughtsman, Artist, Consultant PetroleumEngineer and maker of my dolls house and a lot of our furniture!❤. I think of him when I see these programs. He wld have loved them.

It's easy to forget the badly injured navvies, who in remote spots could not simply dial for a paramedic assistance. No compensation from employers or national social assistance. Being mostly from Ireland they were financially stranded.

[@InquisitiveBaldMan]

I think the fact about trains and time is that before trains, everything happened so slowly, beyond day and night, time didn't matter. To quote "In the mid 19th century, the stagecoach from London to Edinburgh took three or four days". So hours and minutes mattered little, just what day you got there.

[@Jessy-cs1jz]

Guy Martin and his Rolls Royce Aircraft engine is a must , and when he beats the world record on the biggest wall of death ...

[@TomGayler]

If you are going down the rabbit hole of Guy Martin, you should do a reaction to Guy Martin's Spitfire, Guy Martin's Vulcan Bomber, Guy Martin's Lancaster Bomber and Guy Martin's Battle of Britain. He also did a series called 'The Boat that Guy Built', where he renovated a narrow boat. Britain was the epicenter of the industrial revolution. The railways and steam locomotives came out of the need to move goods quickly, we invented the railways and exported them around the world. Carrying passengers was an afterthought for the railways in Britain, they had taken this over from the canals. The ports of America, were actually largely built up by Britain and other European colonizers, to move goods such as Cotton, that were not found naturally within Europe.. The gauge of track used on American Railroads is 4 ft 8 and a half inches, the same as the gauge used on the Stockton and Darlington Railway, the worlds first railway. The first steam locomotive imported to the US, the 'Stourbridge Lion', was built in England by the Foster, Rastrick, and Company in 1829. Fun fact, Beer and Ale were drunk, as they were considered a safer alternative to the risk of drinking contaminated water. It was not strong in alcohol, but the process of making it into alcohol meant it was 'safe' to drink. On comparison, in the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad, it is estimated that 1,200 laborers were killed. The Great Western Railway introduced 'Railway time' to standardise its timetable as well as prevent railway accidents. At the end of 1970, the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, America's first railway company, operated 5,552 miles of road and 10,449 miles of track. The Station Master, was head of the manor as it were at the station and the village/ town/ city it served. If you wanted to get the right train or get your manufactured goods sent out on time, it helped to be on the right side of the Station Master. In his/ her position, the Station Master had a knowledge of working timetables and contacts throughout the railway network. He or She supervised the staff working at the station, which depending on size of the station could be a huge number or small amount of staff. In the same way it took engine cleaners up to twenty years to be a qualified train driver, a Station Master had gone through a long-serving apprenticeship to reach that position. Station Master was not the limit of their career though, they could go on to manage multiple small stations or a large station within the area, before getting into upper management within the railways. Crewe Locomotive Works, which was one of the biggest in the UK, was knocking out one locomotive every three days.

[@andrewmurphy4116]

I used to work on th P way, which is the track laying. I left 35 years ago. Believe me you would graft on a possession. You'd have a 12 hour possession of the track normally from 12 midnight on a Sunday morning. Till as late as 1 Sunday afternoon, and we'd lay some length of rail. We had a advantage of the rail being dropped off, and a tamper to force the balast under the sleepers. But we'd shovel the balast. There is nothing harder to shovel than large misshapen stones.

[@kaishowing]

Don't forget that's 10 UK pints...so thats really 12 US pints! Legendary grafters. Think the contemporary equivalent would be scaffolders! Great clip lads - keep going. 😃

I was in engineering for most of my life and tolerances of + or - 1/2 a thousands of an inch were common. Office staff never realised how tight this was , I once showed someone by putting a ground steel plug into a bore I had machined, it gradually descended millimetre by millimetre taking 10 minutes or so to fall 10 inches. Love Guy.

[@nickskidmore6011]

I was really lucky one holiday. I'd gone with the family to the Carnforth railway museum abd as it was a horrible rainy day we went round the trains in the sheds. Sticking out among them was a lime green tender which was attached to the Flying Scotsman(look it up) I was into the cab like a rat up a drainpipe sitting I the drivers leather seat running my hands all over the beautiful polished brass levers and wheels. I was a kid again That was my bucket list moment😊

Fantastic to see reactions to Guy. A true institution. Anything with him in it it worth watching, from Closer to the Edge, the Speed record series, Wall of Death, Lancaster's and Spitfires or taking his old bike to India. Fantastic stuff.
