Hello John, I was a locomotive fireman in the 1960s the last decade of steam traction in Western Australia. Just watching your videos takes me back to where I can almost smell the emulsified cylinder oil and feel the life in the machine under me. Some one once said, "if the steam engine was invented today, it would not be allowed". Happily you and your friends bring these wonderful machines alive again. Thank you. Regards M.

Super video John - it's great to see the Sentinel back out on the road again. Good to see other steam wagons too. Love that green saddle tank. Looked like a perfect day's weather. What a feast.

I've seen John making parts for these monsters on his lathe, but I have to wonder what tools did they use back then. Did they rely only on casting and hand finishing? Were there mills back then? I'll have to turn to the gargler for this LE: Holy f@ck! lathes date back to 1300 BC (which stands for before chooch I think)
@jusb10667 жыл бұрын
there were machines called scrapers, which are a simpler version of the mill, abom and james kilroy use one in some vids, mills and lathes existed, but yes, they had to design things to use the tooling of the times too, bu casting was an art back then, very accurate castings needing very little sometimes, probably a quick fly cut on a face and some simple holes

what great machines, sadly when i was younger i worked in a scrapyard in bolton back in the early 70s, and i think i sent most of the contents of the cotton mills machinery to its doom with my gas axe, some of the parts were salvaged by fred dibnah to repair his collection of steam engines... thanks for the memories john

Steam powered road vehicles continued to be produced in Britain until the mid 1930's, so there was much greater refinement of the technology. In the USA, steam powered cars and lorries were largely phased out in the early 20th century because of Americans greater access to petrol.

In the old balers, the mechanism that compresses the hay used to be called a "Chinaman." We had a couple of New Holland balers with those compressors. My dad told me that in the early days of baling, there was a guy who would compact the hay before they tied it with twine. After the transcontinental railroad was completed, there were a lot of unemployed Chinese workers who would gladly worker for the farmers. Of course now, the name is politically incorrect.
