Big Steam Engine

[@Need4Steam]

Wow, I've seen a lot of stream engines run but never connected to any equipment. THIS is why steam engines were created and THIS is what revolutionized the world!

[@clutchpedalreturnsprg7710]

Hello, here's one: KZbin video: Kempton Park Big Triple Steam Engine Starting

[@dlord1953]

Its a shame people feel the need to add music to things like this. The mechanical noise is as much a 'pull' as the working machinery. Music detracts from the atmosphere the video could actually demonstrate

[@markerbuoy]

Try this... kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZWllIydaph3rKc

[@TheRebelmanone]

Go live by the train tracks then. And if they use updated diesel at least you still hear the train cars hitting the loose tracks "thump, thump thump... thump, thump thump". lol

[@tobiaswittenmeier1877]

I love these old machines where everythin is visible moving :-)

[@markerbuoy]

+Tobias Wittenmeier Indeed...wonderful & mesmerizing. Thanks for watching! M

[@anybodynoname8767]

Tobias Wittenmeier I really wanna know what everything does 😉

[@UP4014]

[@gameseeker6307]

But, please do not touch Or u wont be able to see anymore

[@BigLovinB]

Part of the reason people love steam engines so much, is the sound. So stop putting music into these vids!

[@markerbuoy]

Thanks for the advice. Now I'm wondering what the other 150,000 viewers think :-) M

[@braders790boop]

Markerbuoy - On Canada's Left Coast I agree

[@fantom009]

totaly agree

[@999skipper]

Agree

[@markerbuoy]

OK you guys; I just remade the steam engine video...this time with no music. Just the sound of the engine & ancillary equipment :-) kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZWllIydaph3rKc

[@sylar1989]

dont know what young peoples interests in hotting up car engines and the obsession with ''the faster the better'' im 23 and i just love steam engines, the way they work and run is incredible, could watch them for hours. forget loud turbocharged engines, love the sound of a steam engine running i always look forward to going to shows that have old and replica steam engines on display.

[@nlo114]

If I'd been working in the days of that engine, I'd happily have spent my entire working time looking after that beautiful machine.

[@jblob5764]

Truly the golden era of engineering.

[@Gloria33fontan]

Simply amazing! Thanks for taking time to make and post this. I had no idea any of these textile factories existed in original form.

[@kennyfoster4733]

man i wish they could bring back the steam age in a new way.

[@markerbuoy]

Hey Kenny, You & a whole bunch of others! Cheers, M

[@kennyfoster4733]

Markerbuoy - On Canada's Left Coast thank you sir you do the same cheers, by the way it's my son that's been into the steampunk I just wanted you to know that cuz he does not have a smartphone he uses mine .

[@th9049]

kenny foster yeah

[@shaunlionudakis8251]

kenny foster I think the same I think steam died off way to soon Easy to make steam and the power is awesome in a way most things are still steam Power plants Aircraft carriers etc just made differently I look forward to the steam show every year 👍🏻

[@szymongorczynski7621]

The best thing about steam engines is that they are so, so simple

[@devendra1956]

Steam engines changed whole world & changed the world. James Watt you are really great.

[@markerbuoy]

I agree with you. These machines were impressive in so many ways; they were artfully designed and most were hand fitted, long before mass production techniques were fully developed. I find an operating engine such as this one, to be truly mesmerizing - I can watch for hours. The power and efficiency of steam turbines is testament to their continued use to this day in power plants and other applications as you describe. Thanks for your interest... Best regards, M

[@mikebunner3498]

This steam engine is wonderfully restored and maintained. A working and running piece of history!!!!This video shows how steam was KING back in the day. Very impressive............

[@markerbuoy]

Mike, you are quite right with your comment. Thanks for watching... M

[@michelespinasse1763]

Very impressive ! That was the golden age of the steam. Thanks.

[@mr.dahliaking.202]

So many moving bits and bobs, some moove drasticaly, some move just a tiny bit. So fascinating to watch!

[@bg147]

I never knew they powered the old textile plants with steam. It is great they restored and continue to maintain this piece of history. Too much has been lost to time and lack of respect.

[@bg147]

Thanks. It just floored me to see one engine running all of those looms... an entire plant. It is one thing to read about it but it is something different to actually see it.

[@markerbuoy]

bg147 take a look here... Trencherfield Mill Steam Engine. same idea...way bigger mill!

[@jobandknock427]

The big difference is that "Peace" was installed when Queen Street Mill was built and that over 100 years later it is still driving the same looms it did when it was new, at Trencherfield the mill is now offices, etc. Amazingly Queen Street Mill is not "restored" in the conventional sense because it was running on that engine until the very end in1982 having never converted to electrical motors. To walk into the weaving shed when "Peace" is running and be hit by a wall of sound is highly evocative. It makes you truly understand what our forebears had to put up with in their working lives. Sadly as of the moment (January 2018) the mill is yet again closed and its' future is in doubt - www.pendleheritage.co.uk/2015/11/28/save-queen-street-mill-and-helmshore-mills-sign-petition-here/ .

[@AtlasReburdened]

Your house is most likely powered with steam, just not via reciprocating piston engines.

[@martinharper5112]

Many people talk about the noise.... But the vibrations, smell, movement, and the heat. One of the biggest mill engines is Ellen Road Mill just off the M62 Littleborough. Excellent.

[@ttm2609]

Love the tiles on the engine house walls, Dibnah would be proud

[@ichabodon]

The sheer workmanship is astounding

[@johnv341]

Absolutely superb! Gave me goosebumps watching. Congratulations to to restoration/maintenance crew.

[@titanicwhiz]

That is the coolest thing I've seen in a long time!

[@markerbuoy]

Hey Rob; I'm glad you enjoyed the show :-) Like you, I have always been fascinated by steam engines ever since I was a little kid. Thanks for watching. M

[@frankgarrity1810]

What a masterpiece of engineering , and so good to see them in working order

[@markerbuoy]

Correct. Hats off to the guys who keep the beast running! Thanks for watching :-) M

[@kartwood]

My Great Grand parents and their Brothers and Sisters likely worked in just such a place before coming to Canada in 1912 from Preston, Lancs. Thank you for posting!

[@markerbuoy]

Interesting...hopefully, your relatives escaped to a better life, here in Canada. Thanks for watching and commenting :-) Cheers, M

[@Mesdriver]

I love to see these "slow runners"! How smart is the greasing system on the "big end". Fantastic.

[@johngray8249]

Amazing machinery for it's time, built by real craftsmen. No computer controlled machines to produce this engine. Just skilled craftsmen.👍👍👍👍👍

[@virendragandhi31]

I still feel as an innocent child after viewing these great and beautiful machines.I like to watch this eagerly. The technology came in India very late so we are backward in machines.

[@kingpiccolo1nzl]

Fantastic bit of History of a by gone Era of when the Empire was something!........ The factory floor with the looms puts the video in perspective. Great upload! ❤️👌👌😎

[@markerbuoy]

Hey Michael, Quite right. When the world was half pink on the globe. Hard work for everyone involved, especially the child labour. The long standing women who kept the enterprise going were rewarded with deafness in retirement. Good times indeed 🙄

[@kingpiccolo1nzl]

[@ryanreid1734]

I could watch this thing all day

[@basculalibra]

great movie. so nice to see the complete process from heating to application of weaving

[@markerbuoy]

I agree...so often, only the engine is left. Queen Street Mill is the real deal: well worth a visit should you be over that way. Thanks for watching & commenting. Regards, M

they built such beautiful engines back around the turn of the century

[@JimTLonW6]

Very impressive to see that; Lancashire had probably thousands of these mills at one time.

[@markerbuoy]

Thanks for watching Danielle!

[@superrodder2002]

most people don't understand the true meaning of the industrial revolution, these machines represent the peek of mechanical engineering on a local level. steam still rules our lives but we never see it because it's tucked away in electric generation plants. I wish I lived in the 1890's to see the machines like these working on a daily basis.

[@markerbuoy]

Thanks so much for watching and your kind words. Cheers M

[@danielbedrossian5986]

An actual work line is hooked up on a museal steam motor and it powers museal loome lines, wow I hope this miracle still up and running in 2020!

[@ibrahimabdullah7793]

GREAT ENGINE, OLD TIMES ENGINEERS WAS MORE INTELIGENT THEN TODAY, GREAT PEOPLE'S OF THE TIME,

[@ZainulAbidinDevelopers_hub]

Unbelievable, the engine was actually handling 1000 looms and hell of entire factory load, the beauty of mechanic architecture. What a perfect idea no more separate motors for each machine. although the extension may b complex in this type of central engine architecture

[@BillSikes.]

Looking at this Magnificent piece of history makes me proud to be English, The Industrial Revolution began here, evolving from Thomas Arkwright Mills and his Water Wheels in The Derwent Valley

[@steveashcraft718]

We had a Cross compound in a grain mill here in Indiana. Sadly when they tore the mill down the engine got scrapped. Only thing that was saved was the flywheel.

[@markerbuoy]

In an era of planned obsolescence it is a pleasure to witness a machine that will run indefinitely, given prescribed maintenance (like so many others of that era). I drive a ford E150 van that I bought new in 1980...gas mileage is still fine but the body is looking sad...believe me, I'm trying but it will never last as long as Peace :-) Cheers, M

Young are like that because they have grown up with those engines if you know what I mean. Im 19 and also love steam engines. I wish there would still be steam powered ships like in 1900s.
