Cold Starting a 1912 Marshall Steam Engine "Uncle George"

Their dedication definitely paid off.The engine looks and sounds amazing.🚂❤❤

@ghoost does this explain the confused looks I get off women? 😮😂

[@WildFoxTails]

Old timely things such as engines and their counterparts (cars, trains, etc), are just so fascinating to me. Love it

[@cm4099]

Great video - very interesting. But the one thing that really stood out - he is a born speaker! No hesitations, no ums no pauses. He did a great job representing his club.

[@SiR2Dean]

I was shopping at Marshall’s yard earlier today, the shopping area built on the old site of the factory responsible for this amazing engine. The crane which would have moved some of the large parts is still on display when you drive in. Great to see one in such good repair,

[@BlueDually4x4]

Steam engines are working, works of art. They did a great job cleaning Uncle George up and keeping it in working condition. Thank you for bringing us along.

[@keeganplayz1875]

Whenever I see steam engines in parades or at fairs, I always smile because they remind me of the amazing engineering that humanity was capable of in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

[@OlinBryan]

Eoin, I love watching your videos. I inherited my great-grandfather's woodworking hand tools. Thanks to you, I have taken on a love for these century old tools that I am figuring out what they are and how to use them. Blessings! Bryan

[@artic6015]

Great looking steam engine. Thank you for the tour.

[@UberGringo]

That fellow is carrying on a tradition that died nearly 100 years ago. Never would I have anticipated watching someone drive a stream tractor. Very cool!

[@bushratbeachbum]

Epic. An absolute credit to Ben and Ben. Beautiful machine. Thanks for keeping traditional machinery alive and spreading education on the past, a noble task indeed. Nice one!!

[@edwardhayden4626]

Thank you from the US for keeping us grounded in our history. You are right, no steam, no progress.

[@1943L]

I love all steam powered machines and appreciate your time an money keeping this engine running. Thanks for the video too.

[@Stack-o-dice]

These stuff are always entertaining

[@richardparkersmith4810]

Great restoration! I grew up with a Burrell showman's engine (Nero) and had a lot of duties for my uncle in terms of the cleaning, lubrication and polishing brass. The payoff was being steersman from the age of 12 and sometimes raising steam so she was ready for the road when he got back from work. We had loads of trouble with fitting rubber to the wheels. Good luck to Reliant Rubber, they seem to have done a great job.

[@jubjub6761]

I used to watch old model train videos with my dad and they had black bars on the sides that made this feel nostalgic. Anyway great content as always keep up the great work!

[@ForEverInvested]

Sick video!! Keep up the strong work brother! Love from the USA!

[@PlebeianGoth]

It never occurred to me that there would be steam-engine vehicles that weren't train engines! Thank you for sharing this, it's delightful to see such an old vehicle which has been taken care of very well, and to watch it in action

[@blueitalia4100]

Thank God 💯I'm glad you're doing longer 🙏💚🤍❤️

[@cptkirkyoung3269]

Just want to say I love all your videos and shorts mu daughters love learning about "old stuff" and so do I and this video was wonderful even I learnt alot so keep going you doing a marvelous job

[@willlancaster4023]

Such a wonderful video, my old man gets me around to car rallies here in NSW, Australia. So cool to see how its done around the world and with such an awesome engine. Love all the other vids too!

[@Kirt-Davis]

Fantastic! The steamers on that side are a bit more fancy than what we have over here. I'm glad I have had the opportunity to operate some the past few weekends.

[@fractode]

BEAUTIFUL restoration job! 👍⚙❤

[@MrBanzoid]

Thank you for this. I just love watching and hearing these wonderful works of engineering art.

[@HaddaClu]

Its a beautiful looking traction engine. I find it surprising how "cramped" the cockpit area is though compared to a similar sized US engine from Peerless or Cass. Here in the states the coal and water bunkers are kept off to each of their own areas on the sides with the immediate rear usually being left open as a platform to stand on. This provides lots of room for firing, and in general comfort. I have fond memories of attending many steam traction and antique farm equipment festivals while as a kid. Thanks for the video.

[@dnlproductions7667]

i love your videos keep up the good work

[@JDski]

My Dad was born in 1912. What a piece of art. Thank you for preserving history.

Im a volunteer at the umgeni steam railway Im the engine cleaner So i kinda know how much work goes into these things That traction engine really is beautiful

[@naredngowsakul8692]

It looks beautiful

[@caoimhenimhuireadhaigh1303]

Fabulous video Eoin, I learned more than I ever have at a steam rally.... I think because I wasn't keeping an eye out for pups or food 😂😂😂

[@RedVRCC]

It really is surreal watching these old beasts starting back up and running once again, especially while surrounded with modern technology. The technology we wouldn't have if it weren't for this important stepping stone in industrial history.

[@SandJ-Adventures]

What a terrific video! Well done to Ben (jnr) for his presentation of the engine and the information that he passed on. I've wanted to get to the Innishannon rally for some years now, and this has increased that desire! If I do, I'll be sure to drop by Celtic Steamers tent! Thanks!

[@AHMW5541]

I own an 1895 Buffalo Pitts steam traction engine, still working on getting it show ready.

amazing video talks thru whole process well done

[@artificercreator]

9:00 that narration is a time capsule on its own!

[@leenewman4344]

I've been to quiet a few rallies over the years. You can't beat being stood by an engine for a bit of warmth outside a beer tent with the subtle smell of gear oil on the air!

[@commonsense1907]

Greetings from the United States. Great video. Good point regarding steam. Among many other uses. Steam generates reliable electricity 24/7 regardless of the weather.

[@GoingtoHecq]

Beautiful engine. I really appreciate the demonstration of how it works. Also you said it was 7 horse power but you must have some truly giant horses.

[@timothypeck3640]

Wait that's not a normal thing anymore? Dude I've named all of my cars in my racing games, even the car I actually drive irl has a name

[@douglas_drew]

A lot of people still name their machines, but I know in my house it would just cause problems. Imagine me sayin' to the Mrs. "I'm goin' to spend the day with Uncle George". She would likely say "Oh sure, the day with Uncle George! Yeah, I bet! Better be, and not polishin' up to no hot steamer someplace out in the fields! Oh, and now you're invitin' me along! Just like ya, always sayin' "the more the merrier!" I'll be havin' nothin' to do with it, no thank ya! But the next time I see Uncle George, his and your stories better match up!" "Wait a minute, who is this Uncle George? You don't have an Uncle George, and I don't have an Uncle George... Ok, that does it! I am comin' along just to see what you're REALLY up to!"

Eoin, I have a question unrelated to this video. I was watching your video on making a bird house and I saw you talk and use a shooting board. My question is this; what is the difference from your shooting board and Rob Cosman's? Thank you for your great video's I really enjoy seeing them.

[@terrancemiller8350]

Thank that was fun. Afriend.

[@40spinup]

May sound a silly question but do you always wait for the safety valves to blow before using the engine? What a stunning machine that is. Love it.

Hi Eoin I'm really curious about the 4:3 aspect ratio you're now using! Is it a different camera or is it just cropped?

[@EoinReardon]

Cropped! You like it or no?

[@somdov]

​@@EoinReardon I get the feeling the average viewer wouldn't even notice consciously but I happened to be sat here appreciating the videography of your restoration videos. After a lot of wondering about WHY it works I really do think it makes a positive difference and at the very least it's COOL!
