Sentinel DG6 Steam Waggon With a look at the controls

[@danielkiruri4882]

It takes an octopus with 8 arms and a lot of gray cells between the ears to run the thing a diploma from oxford is an understatement

[@BensWorkshop]

It does take a bit of forward planning, especially on the part of the fireman! Many thanks for watching, please like, share and if you like the channel, subscribe!

Fantastic; very informative My late father in laws father had a fleet of these and used them in the construction of the Bank of England vaults. Willment construction.

[@BensWorkshop]

Interesting Jonny. A former work colleagues father drove one, carry massive loads.

[@BensWorkshop]

It occurs to be that this particular steam waggon was built as the first cement mixer lorry in the country. Did your father in laws father have a cement mixer one?

[@Dieseljonnyboy]

Benedict White yes he did; he was one of the first people to introduce the revolving mixers into the uk from the us; well this is the family story. It was a big company! Involved in some massive civil engineering projects. He died in 1972 aged 90

[@BensWorkshop]

That is interesting. I wonder if he had Sentinel build him that cement mixer. I'll ask the owner if he knows who first owned it.

[@kingofthepod5169]

I find it interesting how most heavy equipment follows the format of 3 levers to the right of the steering wheel. Forklifts, steam shovels, and this unit. I remember a book called Mike mulligan and his steam shovel that showed how a steam shovel works.

Brilliant video! I never knew how these steam wagons work as I'm more into my traction engines but this was very interesting!

[@BensWorkshop]

Many thanks, I am pleased you enjoyed it. Please like and share!

I had a freind of my father's used to drive a steam Wagon I think there great machines to watch. I know that Foden was one the first steam engine. Lorrys and there was some argument about changing to diesel in the early 1900's when Edwin Richard Foden decided it would be cheaper to run a Diesel engine. He left Foden to create ERF his Diesel engine lorrys. Great footage mate really enjoyed it.👍👍

[@BensWorkshop]

Cheers, interesting story.

[@AliMackMechanical]

@@BensWorkshop Yeah mate it's really interesting the transgression from steam to diesel.

[@richardmoss5934]

@@AliMackMechanical Times change and we have to deal with it so calling it a transgression is a bit much, unless you see it as a theological issue!

That was a very cool truck. I love steam powered stuff

[@BensWorkshop]

So do I. You can see some miniature steam trains on my channel as well.

[@mjlawnmowerservicing.2957]

That look brilliant pal. Your very lucky to get a chance to see something like that.

[@BensWorkshop]

I get to see it once a year. 😀😀

@@BensWorkshop I have a friend and his dad has a large collection of vintage tractors. He has promised that he will get them out of the barn next year so I can have a go on them. 😊

Thank you very much my friend, what a treat!

I'm pleased you liked it :)

[@fabrizioviscardi40]

Great, impressive movie! All the best my friend! Fabrizio

[@BensWorkshop]

I am pleased you liked it. There is also more steam in my London to Brighton veteran car run videos, though it is mostly petrol cars over 120 years old.

[@fabrizioviscardi40]

@@BensWorkshop Thanks for information - great ride London to Brighton with Sentinel! Cheers, Fabrizio

[@BensWorkshop]

@@fabrizioviscardi40 that wasn't London to Brighton with a Sentinel. That's other videos with mostly petrol but some steam cars.

[@fabrizioviscardi40]

@@BensWorkshop Thanks for the news, maybe it would have been too challenging to go all that way with the Sentinel! Greetings Fabrizio

[@BensWorkshop]

No, the sentinel has driven all the way through London to Birmingham. It doesn't have a problem with long distances though I suspect it is hard work to drive that far. It's top speed is around 28MPH (45KMH) so it does take a while to get there.

[@roystheboy]

Thats really nice theres a lot to know on how to use and drive it, and its pretty fast

[@BensWorkshop]

There is quite a bit, it's like keeping 3 or 4 plates spinning. On my channel there's a video of a driver's eye view of driving a miniature steam train.

[@josephujiadughele6035]

The most important part was hardly to be seen. The speed baby

[@BensWorkshop]

Top speed is around 28MPH (45KMH) . I have been fireman in it a couple of times but before I published KZbin videos. If I ride as fireman in the future I will film from the inside on the open road. Many thanks for watching! Please like, share and if you like the channel, subscribe!

How many kilometers can you do in one of these, before being unable to resist the tempation of whistling to everything and everyone?

[@BensWorkshop]

It's an old British steam waggon. It doesn't do kilometres, it does miles! :) I'll have to ask Jim next time I see him, but I expect not far. Thanks for watching, please like, share and if you like the channel, subscribe!

Hello it's great to meet you and cheers from Montreal Canada. Anybody who knows me for any like the time knows I'm a trained eye and even have some videos on my channel about them. Love the share and it is so great to see these train still chugging along. A couple of years ago I was in the Isle of Man I got a chance to go on the steam train there and it was one of the best travel memories I've had in my life and really enjoyed your video today it's great to meet you and hope to catch more in the future We are a husband and wife team who do video/photography by day here in Montreal and live streams at night featuring gameshow style shout outs (The wheel of shoutouts & New game called the Pusa Push for under 1k), Q&A's on channel building and growth as well as interviews with Celebrities (two Emmy-award winnings guests and largest channel is 3.5 million followers) and big topics regarding the KZbin platform. Cheers and keep creating

I'm pretty sure some 4wd people fantasise about their 4wds being like this. Lots of big levers and heavy ironwork 😅 Wonderful machine though!

[@josephujiadughele6035]

Just imagine this is all we have got for our cars, they would have made 300km/hr

[@BensWorkshop]

They can go fast. The land speed record for steam was set in 1906 at 127.59MPH (205.447KMH) so there is plenty of potential in steam. Please like, share and if you like the channel, subscribe!
