Big Steam Engine

[@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

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

this engine is so perfectly tuned. it is in near-mint condition

[@8x56]

Furniture mills around my area had steam engines that recycled used steam into the dry kilns to dry the lumber. Hale Co. in East Arlington Vt. used theirs to power two Westinghouse ac generators along with belt driven wood working equipment. W.J. Cowee in Berlin N.Y. ( remember your old tinker toy set? ) used their horizontal and vertical steam engines just for generation of electricity.

[@markerbuoy]

Many thanks for taking the time to leave such a wonderful comment. I'm glad you enjoyed my vid. Best regards, M

[@8x56]

I was lucky in that I got to see all this equipment in place even though it wasn't running. Younger folks have no concept of these things unless they see it in a museum setting. So sad that so much of history is just scrapped and melted and the knowledge that accompanied it lost to the pages of history. You can never describe the smells of dry kilns or the whir of shapers and tenoners in a furniture plant.

[@markerbuoy]

[@willhall3440]

This museum has completely closed now, sadly. The future of the site remains uncertain. Hopefully a museum rust can be formed to get the site up and running again.

[@markerbuoy]

Thanks for the info Will, So sad the museum has closed. I can only imagine the cost and perhaps now lost expertise, required to keep the shuttle flying, as it were. Interesting then, that KZbin may keep this and other historical artifacts alive through the modern day magic of archived/permanent digital video. That said, good luck to all involved in potentially establishing a trust to keep history alive at Queen Street mill... Part of my heritage and I assume, yours too! Cheers and thanks again for the update, M

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

[@szymongorczynski7621]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@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/ .

I see what you mean, however, in this day and age we simply admire & appreciate but we don't have to shovel coal or oil bearings all day! Wonderful to watch and dream (magnificent engineering) but I would not have enjoyed the monotony of working in a mill,steam engine or no steam engine :-( Cheers,

[@markerbuoy]

Hey Andy, Unfortunately, gasoline engines are the most convenient form of power for the mass population...but one day it may all end, no? Perhaps electricity will take over some day... Flash steam boilers for vehicles are ready to go in two minutes and have always been an option, but the operator of a steam car has to have some mechanical knowledge & this is the weak link for the majority of people,

[@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

It seems like half of the complexity of this machine is an automatic oiling system. Cool that they still have a plant with mechanical power like this though.

[@rkshirey]

Ok, so now I have a question again. My hit n miss is 1.5 hp and 500 rpm. So (1.5/500)*5252 That is roughly 16, so 16 ft lbs of torque, how is that right? It seems like the engine has more power than that.
