North Wales By Steam

Its like watching dibnahs old shows, brilliant

Have you ever watch Thomas Edward on here? he's spitting image of Fred with his accent and dress.

You can't help but love these old machines.

[@nicholaskemp2246]

Superb cinematography. Even if you don't have an interest in steam, this short film will, at least, make you see Wales in a different light!

[@trevorjfoster8171]

I was involved with these as a young man in Australia about 55 years ago, now heading into retirement I'm getting the bug back again. Than you for a wonderful journey

[@hornetscales8274]

Got a recommendation if you're looking for more. I first caught an interest from a video called "Steam on the Lakeland Pass", featuring an engine called Western Star. Might still be here.

[@lewiemcneely9143]

Visions of the old chimney man, God rest his soul! Thanks! Well done!

[@andrewjones-productions]

Well, that was a sight for sore eyes! I was born in Llangollen, was brought up in Glyndyfrdwy and the building behind you in the car park at Corwen is the Health Centre where my now deceased mother was the Practice Manager for many years. There used to be a traction engine or two (perhaps even three) on our farm, although they had long gone before I was born. What did remain however were the implements such as a belt driven sawing table, two threshing machines and few more which I believe were used with the traction engine(s). I now live in Futtsu-city, Japan and have been in Japan for the past 31 years and haven't been back to Wales for nigh on 10 years.

What wonderful memories the family will have in years to come of this trip. Thankfully they have this film memory to keep.

[@toneault7499]

SEDDON FAMILY.. oh so many thanks for a great trip though the valles. the way it was meant to be done. !!!! thank you stay safe and well .. ill look you up on my trips round. atb tone

[@scottross617]

Such a beautiful country! Cheers!

[@SomeplaceOrAnother]

Very cool to see the steam engine running down the street 😀 The tires are definitely more street friendly then the ones I’ve seen.

[@maxnex7676]

Choice of holiday, two weeks in the South of France or two weeks of traveling by traction engine in Wales........... Traction engine all the time. Great video, thank you.

[@rudycarlson8245]

This shows you that steam power will never truly go by the wayside!

[@jonathoncary6097]

Superb film,felt like I was there. Wish I were there!

[@alindanaomi9101]

Absolutely brilliant, thanks for sharing. Special kudos to a camera person👏

[@johnkerr1953]

Well I Really enjoyed this video it was just tremendous to see these old steam traction engines going along the road, so thanks to the person who made this video, l say well done.

[@roboftherock]

I recall Fred Dibnah had a trailer very like yours. Lovely to see this example of steam engineering in action.

[@eliotreader8220]

living van actually not a trailer. Fred brought his off a farmer who wanted to set fire to the woodwork so he could sell the metal bits for scrap. in Fred's own opinion it was in a right old state.

[@rok80r]

Absolute Gem of a video, really enjoyed it! 👍 😊

[@jakebuckley7911]

Good video i volunteered at llangollen railway when i was younger with my grandpar Collin Daintith who was a painter/signwriter nice to see it still going

[@IACooper]

Given their troubles announced earlier this week, let's hope they can get kick-started again soon.

[@darylephillips6778]

I love that part of the country thank you for sharing

[@Mister_G]

I enjoyed that, thanks - very nicely filmed.

[@IACooper]

thank you

[@garyevans5335]

Lovely, lovely, lovely! I know that road so well, so the "slow" approach looked fantastic. Nice 👍👍😁

[@TimberSurf]

Delightful! Great camera work too!

[@TimsBitsnPieces]

I think it is awesome to do something like that... good on ya, great stuff.

[@kendavies945]

This is stunning, the camera work is brilliant!! Thanks from NZ. Definitely O for oarsome!

[@seanskinner8354]

Absolutely brilliant video, we have a 7nhp ransomes and planning to do some decent roading this year, may have to have a go a at little video myself 👍🏻

[@IACooper]

Have fun out on the road 🙂

[@schoeneggbahn]

Great Movie! I hope I can make such films from showman ;Bertha‘ soon!

[@alainboullard7942]

Le domaine du merveilleux, bravo messieurs , votre passion m’enchante, merveilleuse machine à vapeur !!

[@simonread3124]

What an entirely beautiful video!

[@IACooper]

Thank you, glad you liked it.

[@frankwurth5375]

Beautiful! Too bad we can't road our engines to events here in the US. One time it was possible, but not now. Traffic is too impatient and todays drivers would as soon hit you than go around. Our engines weren't designed for fast travel, and no nice rubber tires either.

[@Gearz-365]

Honestly wish we manufactured our traction engines the same way the UK did. Probably would make road travel much more comfy

[@dianeboyling7298]

My grandad used to own iron maiden/kitchener and my mum and dad own A fowler tiger tractor

[@GasoliniASMR]

lovely video!

[@IACooper]

thank you

[@juneyoung6357]

Very nice video Ian, a few glimpses of your Land Rover! I suppose you didn't fancy doing it on your roller!

[@IACooper]

If it had set off 4 years ago, I think my roller would only just be arriving now in 2020!

[@roterakaten636]

Steam technology we should of never abandoned it. Such a beautiful thing

[@tsuaririndoku]

Fun fact we still use Steam... it just more deadly as we used most of them in Neuclear Powerplant

[@roterakaten636]

@@tsuaririndoku we also use steam technology in ships and more power making facilities. As most power is created by the steam turbine connected to a generator. Coal plants use this. I was talking about locomotives. And cars/trucks. I feel most of our climate issues could be solved if we converted steam technology to electric heat instead of fossil fuels. At that point all your doing is releasing water into the atmosphere. And this is totally possibly assume countries in ww2 converted there steam locomotives to electric boilers. And if you closed the system using a condenser. It would be a way more efficient system. Like the Alberta dolbert cars.

There's a train museum in Penrhyn Castle

[@rudycarlson8245]

I would love to do this on a CASE 75 HP!

[@howardgoy9568]

She's a beauty!

[@TheDefiantPirate]

This thing looks very similar to the basis that was used for Trevor the Traction Engine in the railway series

Well if you can hook up a generator to that thing during the blackout you'll be golden

I really want a traction engine. Though I'm pretty sure they aren't street legal here in the States.

[@kavinduheshan6229]

Lovely 💐💐💐

[@rudycarlson8245]

Fred Dibnah had an engine like this I wonder what happened to it after he died? I know one of his sons has the steam roller Betsy I think it’s name is.

[@IACooper]

The steam tractor he had, along with pretty well all his belongings apart from the roller (which was retained by the two sons Jack and Roger, who take it in turns to run it) needed to be sold to pay for costs. One of his daughters was able to buy the landrover to keep that in the family as well.

[@rudycarlson8245]

@@IACooper do you know if Betsy the steam roller is running? If it is, is there any videos of it here on KZbin?

[@IACooper]

@@rudycarlson8245 i believe it still is, but don't know of any specific videos that feature it. It will sometimes be at steam rallies around the manchester area, astle park, cheshire steam fair etc, so may briefly appear in people's videos taken at those events.
