Beamish - Great North Festival of Transport 2018 - The Great War Steam Fair

[@the_frumious_bandersnatch4367]

Thank you from across the water for the well-done, high-quality video! The youngest of those steam engines must be around 100 years old. Glad to see that so many of them are still preserved and operational.

[@preservedrailway]

Thanks, interestingly though three of the locomotives are from this century (the two narrow gauge locomotives and the replica Puffing Billy locomotive)

[@dashaB-sl4pu]

Great video of preservation and restoration, a real credit to all involved, pleasure to watch

[@AussiePom]

The loco at 7:43 I first saw on an Ivo Peters video when it was working at a colliery. Even in those days it was over 100 years old and had been kept in working order because of some very low clearances. Visually it was in an appalling condition leaking steam everywhere as it struggled with 16T mineral wagons. But so nice now to see it receive TLC.

[@susancrooks1776]

I had no idea this venue was in existence....if ever I am so fortunate to come across the pond, this and my ancestral home will be the 2 must sees.

[@susancrooks1776]

Amazing. Absolutely amazing. I love the oldest style engine and the wagons with the large wheels.

[@locowerke]

Enjoyed this video, great variety of motive power, wagons, and road transport, thanks for posting.

[@DandamanV]

What a twee town! So many kinds of wonderful machines.

[@dannygayler90]

Love steam fests , and so far nothing has ever equalled the power of steam !

[@慈嘉桧耀佳]

非常に良い保存状態ですね。素晴らしい。

[@michaelcoker3197]

Lovely location and brilliant restorations!

[@SteamCrane]

Sensory overload! I will need to watch this a few times to see everything. Doesn't look like a full weekend would be enough time to cover it.

[@bigkiwimike]

This is gorgeous. It has given me some ideas for my modelling project. At 2:38, the last wagon has its hook dragging on the ground. Hate to see that snag something. Thanks for sharing.

[@AndreiTupolev]

Some fabulous machinery all around. That little green saddle tank at 7:30 is very cute.

[@NJPurling]

The green saddletank was once England's oldest locomotive in actual industrial service. Made by Stephen Lewin in 1863 as a well-tank it was used by Seaham Harbour Dock Co. It was retained because it would pass areas of restricted clearance. The saddle-tank was taken from a withdrawn Black Hawthorn 0-4-0-ST. It has run at Beamish as a pure well-tank. A well tank is located between the locomotive's frame plates. It keeps the centre of gravity low. Those Chaldron wagons look like something you'd expect to see the 'Steam Elephant' or 'Puffing Billy' hauling.

[@682charlie]

What a great video. Looks like tons of fun

[@davebambrook7745]

Fantastic some very interesting machines I can just smell the coal iron and steam

[@simonmoore748]

My first trip to beamish was this event it was superb

[@kineticrail]

Great video beamish has such a mix of locos some pretty unique and interesting

[@calvingrondahl1011]

Salute from Utah, USA... The Union Pacific Big Boy 4014 steamed passed my house. The big and the small of steam.

[@naoyuki1220]

SLのゴホッてる音もいいけどこれはこれで元気そうで良いです。

[@ashleymarley2822]

That was a cool video 👍 👍

Abraço de Portugal 🇵🇹

[@縦横無尽にふらふらと]

教科書に出てきそうなSLだわ笑 それにしても列車だけでなく車もレトロ感満載で一度行ってみたいなー

[@gerhardschlembacher6857]

Amazing ! Very nice old engines ! Where is this museum ?

[@preservedrailway]

North Eastern England, near Durham

[@gerhardschlembacher6857]

preservedrailway Thanks for information ! May be get time to visit . KR

[@talkartoons]

No Sentinel steam wagons?

[@garcruncher7271]

Love Narrow Gauge engines.

[@Tech9861]

At 29.00 the loco is strange design. What is it? Where is this filmed at?

[@preservedrailway]

Replica of Puffing Billy, original built 1813/14 for the Wylam Colliery. Filmed at Beamish Open Air Museum on the Pockerley Waggonway.

[@Little-Dewott-2010]

At 3:14 isn't that a coffeepot?

[@jakebello7988]

I think it is!

[@philipross2013]

Indeed it is , built 1871 spent all her life until retired around 1950 at Betchworth lime pits., I have a couple of B&W photos given to me by the driver around 1980.

[@enderplant]

@@philipross2013 Don't call it a her!, What happens if it's a he, or a it!

[@kingorry7223]

I thought it was a replica!

[@roncheetham673]

Shop At Binns !

[@mackenziezimmerer7926]

Awesome

[@paulkelly-cy9hl]

great

[@randomclass4653]

8:24 holy! That train is TRULY Short for 4.8! It can barely fit a 5'8 man! Not even The Pugs are that short , they're a little more taller & Bigger atleast!

[@sammurabi4743]

If you want to see something even shorter, look up Peckett & Sons No. 1900, better known as the Flying Bufferbeam. Despite being a standard gauge locomotive, it's only 5 foot 9 inches tall. While I'm not sure it's the smallest in Britain (I think that title goes to the Montgomery & Shropshires "Gazelle"), it's undoubtedly the shortest.

[@KVaumoron]

Fine video thx for uploading!

[@martythemartian99]

15:22 I'm sorry but I could not stop myself from singing... "Who do you think you are kidding Mr. Hitler..." :D

[@thesolitarycyclist9005]

I didn't know they had invented blue plastic in 1914! Such a shame when such attention to detail was paid elsewhere.

[@sebastianthomsen2225]

😊👍

[@raymondleggs5508]

When your garden railway is also the prototype....

[@johnneedy3164]

Boys and there TOYS 🤑

No this one is narrow gauge btw lady is not canon to Thomas the tant

[@wondermenel2811]

サムネイルがスカーロイのモデルになったと思われる機関車ですよね！

[@dirkupnmoor]

Unfortunately, this is too far away from Germany for a weekend trip.

[@DisleyDavid]

Dirk Upnmoor I wouldn’t say so. You need 2 days to see everything. Fly to Newcastle or Teeside Airport. Admission ticket valid 12 months. Even when there isn’t a special event well worth a visit.

[@stephen260472]

Wow! You've stung me on your vale comment! Personally I think your own team might struggle this year with your Chairman In jail. 😮

[@984francis]

And hast thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!” He chortled in his joy.

[@rolondajohnson6578]

16:08 oh Trevor the traction engine is actully going fast

[@vikingsmb]

2:00 nearly had a derailment.

[@davianjanvierto4679]

I like steam trains , it 's traditional !
