Mr Karnes raises the definition of "enthusiast" by quite a considerable margin.

[@keithappleton]

Alex is exceptional and I hope we meet again.

[@BravoCharleses]

What a brilliant machine and a brilliant young man to tell us about it. Thanks Mr. Appleton!

[@scowell]

Love Alex and his passion, and his work. He has his own YT now, A. E. Karnes channel... and has recently taken over the Woburn MA Waterworks museum's big engine (FB channel there), which was recently steamed up. They call him The Steamist... for good reason. The U.K. has preserved its steam heritage to two orders of magnitude better than the U.S.A. has... very glad to have Alex working stateside to help with this problem.

[@keithappleton]

Alex is a Genius in his field }:-)))

[@duron700r]

This is the best showing of the difference of starting verses running action of the Geo. Corliss valve gear. You guys run at speed! A.E.K. is a gem at explanations on various engine parts and adjusting! Been running a couple of American Corliss type engines for a long time. One shouldn't be ran at governed speed, the other gets close sometimes. ALWAYS, you guys have us yanks beat at preservation and running of these sweethearts. They really are sweethearts! Another bit for my bucket list is to visit you folks. Thank you! I'll watch this again. Right now.

[@keithappleton]

Yes Alex is a true Genius }:-)))

[@AEKarnes]

Keith, extremely well presented. To all who read this, Support Bancroft Mill!

[@gary.solexa]

AEK is a living planetary treasure.

[@Rainhill1829]

That governor adjusting device is absolutely brilliant! Some day I wish to meet Alexander, truly a renaissance man who's heart is fully in the preservation of these magnificent monuments of the Industrial Revolution.

[@rexcadral3468]

That looks like a mesmerizing and incredibly dangerous place!

[@160rpm]

I was just thinking that. But they seem to know what they are doing.

[@christopherlawley1842]

The ones that don't are not there any more

[@Yaaayishere]

Alexander is a star. I've just discovered his channel, you should link it here. Thanks for sharing.

@@keithappleton you have made me understand engines like no other, and this collaboration with Alex K has me blown away with the way everything is explained. Cheers from Australia!

[@stephenrice4554]

Stunning pieces of machinery , and aren't we fortunate that Alexander is taking care of it . A specialist I'd say . Magnificent 👍🇬🇧

[@jandoerlidoe3412]

Interesting and in depth explanation of the engine's working & construction...

[@timbercreeksteamco.3734]

A.E. Karnes, love your videos, wish I had a chance to see some giant engines. Not many left in the U.S. thanks for preserving the ones you did.

[@RustyCarnahan]

Mr. Karnes did a great job explaining the various parts he showcased. I learned quite a bit. I would love to hear his explanation of the intricacies of the Corliss valve gear. I've studied it a decent bit, yet there are still mysteries I have yet to comprehend. In all, an outstanding video of an outstanding exhibit.

[@mikewinkelman7015]

Theirs no one more intense when it comes to steam than Alex.

[@jaylittleton1]

Bearing wedges. This is first I have heard them mentioned. Anyway, thank you for posting this, Keith.

[@ulaB]

That indexing governor though... what an ingenious mechanism.

[@dunebuggy1286]

Awesome. How does a person get to get that knowledgable about something so mechanical and so antiquated? It's astonishing.

[@keithappleton]

Yes, The amount of knowledge that Alex has is astonishing ......

[@theskepticalnegativist1004]

The mechanical beauty of this machine amazes me.

[@larrybarnes3920]

It's wonderful to see a young bloke with so much knowledge of and passion for the machine. And the quality of manufacture and genius of solution everywhere you look. Simply beautiful.

[@keithappleton]

He is very much a Genius . . . .

[@TimsBitsnPieces]

I love this sort of stuff Keith. I wish there were more of these engines preserved for the youth of the day to see how things were done without today's electronic technology. Great stuff.

[@Whatsinanameanyway13]

Fantastic little details that make these machines really interesting

[@stxrynn]

Thank you for posting this. Steam was a mature technology by the 1890's. Seeing the methods they used, is awe inspiring. Well done!

[@scratchdog2216]

This is really great. Thanx so much for the post.

[@petefletcher]

Brilliant! thanks Keith.

[@rebelcounty2078]

Fantastic Video.

[@willybee3056]

Wow,, and thanks for sharing your videos.

[@mikus4242]

I could watch this stuff all day.

[@comms9803]

This is awesome!

[@Chuckiewashere]

This was awesome! Love watching steam engines run!

[@MegaChekov]

Thanks for sharing all the best from John in Texas

[@nickshamla347]

Great videos with A.E. Karnes, they have been very fun to watch!

[@jr4062]

Looks not only dangerous at the locations he was standing, but the work he has to do. It’s a job for a young person with a good memory.

[@keithappleton]

He knows what he is doing and the potential danger of Death .......

[@railroad9000]

Great explanation. Thanks

[@Rustinox]

Magnificent machines.

[@_Synthesize_Me_]

This video absolutely made my week. Thanks Keith! Would love to see more videos like this in the future :-)

[@htmagic]

Fascinating! I have learned more about steam engines from this channel than anywhere else! Thanks for making this available!

[@rogerwilliams2902]

Lovely video with excellent explanations along the way. Clear and informative. Thanks.

[@NathanielKempson]

Poetry in motion. and not just the engines either.

[@ponkkaa]

That was an excellent presentation!!! I never realized how complex the oiling systems are on these old beauties. Biig thanks for posting this!!

[@clham612]

Thanks, Keith, for including this very interesting video. While I knew a lot of this already, I did learn some new things, and that is always good. Models are always interesting but the real thing is even better!

[@cdyblu]

outstanding!

[@Latheman666]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing.

[@michaelcerkez3895]

Very nice and informative. I do know what I'm going to do next time I visit England...

[@mamodsteamreturns5492]

I actualy enjoyed that :)

[@donaldasayers]

That ratcheting governor is an integral control system as opposed to the strictly proportional system of the Watts governor. Does anyone have any more info on it?

[@mathuetax]

I love watching a Corliss.

[@tomcook5813]

Kieth, nice work on the steel mill commercial piece, thought I recognized your voice..

[@160rpm]

Interesting seeing a large steam engine. Many elements are familiar from all the models

[@joemartignetti9214]

Keith; Is there anything this gentleman does not know about steam engines british-american or otherwise? The last few videos you two have collaborated on you have been so informative. I never knew there was that many large steam engines still around this world today, I knew there were quite a few in Britain but I had no idea there were so many in America, if he doesn't have parents you should adopt him. I suspect he is the American version of you when you were his age.

[@keithappleton]

His knowledge and mechanical skill is very impressive considering that he is only 26 years old, he is like a steam version of Google }:-)))

[@slopcier]

Great video, really interesting to learn about bearing wedges and the different types of big end oilers. The indexing governor is very interesting too, but I felt as though the description went above my head a bit. Does anyone know where I can find out more about it? And did I understand correctly that it is making fine adjustments to the valve timing via the vertical shaft shown in the background? And when he turned the handle, was that intentionally altering the engine speed to show us the mechanisms action? Thanks in advance

[@Pipe-organ-recordings]

Wonderful. Wish you would do more like this. Do you have the ability to make any parts of something this scale?

[@PALM311]

Beautiful Engine!!! Is the young man from the USA? He sounds like a fellow northeasterner to me.

[@160rpm]

Almost a bit of a Boston vibe, a bit of a surprise :D

[@SAM-zt2uy]

Keith, I think you found America's Fred Dibnah.

[@keithappleton]

Having met Fred in person a few years ago and spent some time with him on a couple of occasions, I would agree with you on that. There are some similarities, and the Knowledge Alex has is very impressive.

[@TA-xj5we]

👍🐿😎

[@kaibroeking9968]

The footage of the Corliss valve gear could be flagged as almost pornographic. Just right for a break from programming. (Some gleaming brass and steel to compensate being stuck in front of a monitor.) And the explanations are just great! That being said: That Lumb's governor is clever! Unfortunately, this also means that the governor on a telescope drive by Zeiss/Jena from the 1920s, one which a friend of mine has been doing a lot of work on (most of which was spent on understanding the mechanism), might be slightly less inventive than we always thought. Interesting.

[@superowl91]

3.11 tom cruise?

[@cjb7575]

Fred Dibnah + Guy Martin = A.E.Karnes.

[@aaronhorn6849]

How do i do 3 thumbs up on youtube??

[@willi-fg2dh]

Keith, he calls that a "small" engine . . . what does he call yours?

[@keithappleton]

Tich ......

[@machiningbasics1729]

Didn’t follow him to clay mills ? Best one in the world but I’m abit bias

[@keithappleton]

No, I needed to get on with some work - ! next time maybe

[@bigkat1919]

But has he ran your loco? 😅
