I'm not sure if there's a name for this particular genre of ASMR, but I've always found ASMR videos featuring finely crafted tools or machinery, demonstrated by someone knowledgeable in them, to work fantastically well. You've done an excellent job here -- perfect for winding down at the end of a busy day. Not sure there's a large enough market for something like this on a regular basis, but definitely a nice treat from time to time.

[@lmm]

Thank you very much!

[@Peppercorn60163Tornado]

this is quite satisfying tbh, just the ticking of the flywheel and cylinder

[@NathanielKempson]

I think you have found an un tapped market here Lawrie!! As an advid consumer of ASMR content, this was great! Its clear to me that you actually did some reaserach before you made this video and it shows. Brilliant. Soft speaking isnt normally my thang, i prefer whispers and stuff but this was GOOOD. Instant tingles.

[@lmm]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@4ntig3n]

A few months ago I set mine/ours on the dining table to just chuff along solfty and beautifully - just for the relaxing sound. I really can appreciate this video Lawrie :)

[@lmm]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@numptypootis8012]

Now this is something different and i do enjoy an ASMR video, of course people are going to say "this is freaky" or "im uncomfortable" because they dont really understand it which is fair, but i wouldn't mind seeing some more of this out there

[@emmamayne3999]

Tell you what Lawrie, my kid and I watch your channel and absolutely love it. I listen to ASMR every night to fall asleep and I just added this to my “best asmr” playlist (which has very high standards in regard to what asmr gets added to it!) The people saying that this is creepy or awkward must not watch asmr (and I get it, it can seem really weird at first) For someone who hasn’t done it before you are so relaxing (even more so than some other older ASMRtists!) and I’d love more of this type of content!!! Looking forward to bedtime tonight! Thanks for this :)

[@lmm]

Thank you very much!

[@VikxMasha]

Well done for giving it ago and branching out into the strange world of ASMR, for people who do not follow or know what ASMR (autonomous sensory meridian response) is this will come across as something a bit freaky and weird. I found it totally relaxing, and I normally dislike repetative sounds, but this was rather nice and soothing, I put it on whilst writing emails for work. I doubt this will be something you will ever do again! I am also shocked that Lawrie can indeed be quiet at times :D

[@Cookie-wc8su]

fell asleep as soon as i played the video

[@tamhazan3015]

So pleased to see this - just completing building this model (in New Zealand).

[@lmm]

They're great aren't they!

[@notexan182]

i honestly think this is great

[@poppystrains]

Good to see it running. I had a steam roller version many years ago.

[@lmm]

They're good engines

[@Northerner_Transport_Hub]

I like the steaming up a traction engine part, the ASMR not so much. I like the idea of just letting us listen to the engine while it's running, but the rest of it... not so much. A nice idea though Lawrie

[@neilgen2003]

Well, didn’t see this coming , 2 of my favourite KZbin content in 1 video, LMM & ASMR. While im sure this is a pi$$ take video, honestly Lawrie if you ever run out of railway content to video then you definitely have an ASMR channel career in front of you, up there with the best of them ‘gentle whispering’ & ‘whispers red’ to name but 2. 😂😂

[@lmm]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@danwilson1040]

I need to watch this after my anxiety peaked watching your other video reviewing the death trap face maimer ,find a happy place 😢

[@Skenay]

That was amazing. I would be more than happy to hear something simular in the future

[@lmm]

Thank you very much

[@W.Afton154]

What tablets are those I can't keep my engine running more than 6 or 7 min before I run out of steam

[@ronaldlake5592]

I have my late fathers Wilesco Old Smoky steam roller and his Wilesco D16 stationary Steam engine that I want really steam them up after watching this video but some for reason my wife won't let me run them in the house. It's to cold out side right now so I have to wait till spring.

[@Rickyboy428]

I like it very relaxing reminds me of those old documentary's that you can just fall asleep to

[@lmm]

Thank you very much

[@stevensolway1054]

At 04:56 when you light the fuel tablets, we also need Smell-o-Vision with the match and Sulphur and burning 🔥 wood and fuel tablet smell!! Also the Smell of Hot oil 🛢 and pressurized steam also has its own unique aroma!!!! I also have a used WILESCO steam tractor 🚜 (*), and I removed the canopy to let people watch the valve gear ⚙ from above!! GOOD SHOW SIR!!!!! OK.SUN.JAN.28.2024A.D.!!-!(Q). HI FROM GREEN BAY!! GO PACKERS 🏈 IN NFL!!!! HOORAY!!!!!!

[@bentullett6068]

This is as funny as the rival Bentley ASMR videos you do, its the calm voice you put on that makes me laugh. Need to do one of those vehicle ones with Humpty next.

[@frankieboitv619]

I’m sleepy as fuuuuuuck rn man

[@DriverClarkson]

I have the original steam ASMR all on Argo Transacord and the original Transacord Label. Every single album ever made including some from Australia, USA and some Eastern Bloc countries

[@fishw]

Im just over a minute in and ummm i feel weird Lol

[@lmm]

Excellent!

[@eliotreader8220]

this is a lot better than the last live steam model that he reviewed

[@lmm]

Significantly!

[@TheMostUt]

Like and comment for support, but I can't do that 'talking so low I can't hear it' thing. PTSD from shrinks as a kid, probably. lol

[@lmm]

Much appreciated!

[@eliotreader8220]

the safety valve looks like it needs a washer on it

[@regpain3811]

If it was me I would liven things up by blocking up the safety valve

[@HughJarse1968]

Maybe I’m missing the point, but I watched at 1.5x speed & all seemed normal 😂 (I came here for the steam engine, as I’ve no idea what ASMR is.)

[@lmm]

It's a thing you listen to. People find it relaxing. Watching it at speed will negate the point

[@nicoloncke6846]

Nice! Now do it with a real engine! Don't forget the safety valves :D

[@michaelhayes1678]

Thanks for this video. It was delightful, though must have taken some restraint on your part to curb your excitement.

[@FATTY_BATTY.]

some of these comments make me sad, Don't listen Lawire you tried something new it shouldn't be this hated 😭

[@lmm]

It's a bit of fun, and different to what we normal do

[@FATTY_BATTY.]

@@lmmYes exactly 😁

[@admiralekul8303]

This had better not awaken anything in me.

[@jbhtrams]

Wilesco models are what Mamod should have been. Mamod are solidly made, but very basic and haven't changed much in 60 years. It's a shame really as they could have been excellent by now.

[@bentullett6068]

being German made they are built for their high quality standards. The Mamod ones are great but I know what you mean they don't have the features like these Wilesco models have. They even have a traction engine with a crane jib in the Wilesco range.

[@karldickinson2799]

I don't know if your being serious or taking the piss lol

[@gs425]

Just a bit weird lawrie. Especially because we all know how fast and very well you normally talk

[@alexthewoo]

is this a parody video? lol

[@dalecherne5377]

This is VERY different for you lol. For you doing an ASMR video almost feels like a satire. But hey.....if this gets enough views and likes, you could make it into a separate video channel. "Lawrie's Steam Whispering" ;-)

[@CrazyKitBuilder]

The creepy voice is scaring me I should of not watch this before bedtime but toy traction engine was cool

[@rafchris]

I thought ASMR was just for people talking dirty to you for money..... i mean im not saying I didnt enjoy it but wasnt exactly what I was expecting either!

[@lmm]

I'm happy to accept money 😂

[@CathodeRayNipplez]

The quiet talking isn't creepy at all. 😬

[@chrissavory9959]

I understand the asmr part. but talk normally with the instructions then just go quiet and let the engine do its thing

[@41241ivatt]

In my opinion it just seems very awkward

[@RHTeebs]

That's just all ASMR

[@gs425]

Totally freaky

[@M_ADAX]

@@RHTeebs😂

[@lordluffington2351]

What the flp is this

[@WISDOMDUCK69]

Ther some oun with a inappropriate picture that has comented

[@johnmarks2408]

You feeling sick Lawrie ? Alot of info but the way you are speaking is flat . I love the way you have passion when you do these videos please go back

[@VictoryWorks]

That was the most weird, unnatural speaking on a video I've ever seen - I had to skip forward through most of it. Which is a shame as I'd love to see the firing of a Wilesco done in normal Lawrie style.. please don't ever do that again 🤨

[@Northerner_Transport_Hub]

This Just this I agree with this so much

[@kentishman5179]

Sorry but this is the first of your video's i have given a no from me.
