It's really surprising to me every time I watch your videos. Jonathan that you only have 117,000 subscribers. That's seems like a crime. I mean because you're making these videos that are really really good and you're showing people and inspiring people to go out here and do some of the stuff on their own. As I usually say another excellent video

I totally agree. Of the vast YT transport genre I’ve seen including all the million subbers with will it runs, and ‘builds’ and collaborations and new shop bs--my thinking of that there are 3 that rise above: At least in English language. 1. coldwarmotors (which is almost a smoke-filled, genius variety show that is funny, brilliant and very unique but takes an investment of time. 2. Jonathan W (the purist. most “real” and you can tell he could do anything and people would watch but he generally and steadfastly pursues his steam engine passion and takes us along. Unique as well. 3. Mr. Goodpliers (just a guy and sometimes his buddy going to auctions but has a depth of knowledge and/or a delivery and passion that makes the channel compelling. A clear respect for history and vehicles. And saving some. 4. Rare classic cars and automotive history. Super smart. Highly knowledgeable about the entire industry and history An amazing collection and incredible access to former auto execs. Excellent, but may be running out of ideas and thinking about the algorithm lately. Clearly, he doesn’t need the views to sustain the channel. 5. Hubnut, and others once better who have changed some and become more “commercial” ie sponsored, uploading shorts, merch

I hope one day soon - you can get BIG Steam Traction Engine. That would be the Cherry on Top of your collection. I just LOVE watching these videos about what you've acquired and put back into action. We already know you can build a car from scrap, and I suppose that's fine. But, how many other fellas are doing what you are here with these steam engines? I'd dare say NONE. Funded Museums don't count. Also, maybe one day you'll get the chance to acquire a Huge Fairbanks Morse engine.

I love steam even though I've never really had a chance to mess with a steam-engine nowhere near the size of the engines you mess with but what I was thinking I would like to take the steam exhausting and run it through a condenser and let it turn back into water and pump it right back into your boiler I guess that would be a little more efficient thank you for all you do you really make my day watching this stuff!!!!!

It's always a good feeling when you open up a "new" old engine and it's better than it looks from the outside. Of all the engines I've acquired only one was beyond repair. It was a 13x18 Houston Stanwood Gamble automatic. The cylinder had been broken when the crosshead failed. Water wreaked havoc on the the internal finishes. Too big to repair and otherwise manage it was donated to a local farm museum. HSG engines were popular in North Texas for running cotton gins before diesels took over.

I appreciate how you go about explaining things, sharing the knowledge which could so easily be lost, if just one generation looses interest it would make it so much harder for those to come. There's a story and history that comes with every machine and a lot of satisfaction uncovering the pieces, both human and mechanical. Thank you again, I intend visiting your country and you're certainly putting in tremendous effort with this collection,I've watched probably
