Sentinel DG4 Waggon to Coleham Pumping Station

[@paulpaul5606]

It’s amazes me that these Places were so important for the growth of our country. to imagine so many people Would’ve been working down there. And so busy every day

[@gustavoguti27]

I don't know why youtube decided to show this on my feed but here I am. I had no idea about those amazing machines!

[@iksexplorationsfollower2588]

That is one beautiful truck.

[@richardteale8203]

Wow! Nice!👌 It can sure do some speed on the highway hey! Well done for preserving these awesome machines! Nice to see the other steam engines at that museum too etc. Thanks.😀 Rich.😃 in Perth.

[@BlanCamCZ]

Wow, this car is great! I love the sound of steam :) Very nice video, thanks for sharing. Big thumbs-up!

This frantastic wagon was re-built by Channel 4's TV programme, Salvage Squad. A recommended watch.

[@matthewselby4524]

Ah well, there’s another programme it appeared on with a three way tipper behind the cab I’ll give you a few clues 1. Sir Charles topham hatt got him as a congratulate gift for earning his driver’s license 2. However, while they got on Charles wanted to drive fast, but she didn’t like it one bit 3. Years later when she crashed into and old shed, the titular e2 broke his coupling rods 4. It was all too much when his boss beamed with delight & the man who owned him after Charles discovered a dark truth of what would’ve been a new friend for the skarloey railway after (she helped to clear up after her storm) 5. Her name is Elizabeth

Surprisingly quiet at times! Wonder what one could do with fully modern recreation!

[@juliangoodacre]

Brings back memories as I used to steam Sentinel DG 4 Callow Rock YD6587 which was sold to Walter Fearnley in the early 1980's. Does anyone know where this waggon is now?

[@Andre_Thomasson]

I like how this one still has the original (right?) looking barrels on the back instead of just nothing

[@zacharyrollick6169]

I love these things.

[@leepalmer1210]

Someone please tell me how to buy one here in the United States.

[@IACooper]

There are a few Sentinel Waggons in the US, but probably your quickest way of getting one is to buy from the UK and export it yourself.

[@kristafoster7190]

@@IACooper how much one cost for me I'm looking for one for sale all restored

[@Pamudder]

What a marvelous display of steam! Did the Sentinel waggons (which were technically quite advanced for their day) have power-assisted brakes or steering using either steam or compressed air? I'd be scared to death to drive through town without some kind of assist on the brakes. Also, were the barrels on the back just decorative, or do they contain extra boiler water?

[@IACooper]

They do have steam brakes alongside the manual hand brake, ...seem to work fairly well. No assistance on the steering though, very heavy when stationary or maneuvering slowly. The barrels on this one are empty and serve as both a useful seat and a means of keeping the 'service' equipment such as tools, extra coal, packed lunch etc. hidden and stop them falling off.

[@keithwelton]

The wagon is sign written as Morrison’s oil company, still going in Shrewsbury with associated businesses, so the barrels probably were originally used to deliver their oils.

[@jacobhaussmann90]

it gos faster that i thought it would

[@IACooper]

probably 30-40mph on fairly level road. The later "S-type" model Sentinel steam waggons can trundle on nearer 50mph on fairly level roads. They all slow to a crawl up steep hills though! lol

[@Threadoflength]

0:58 you can tell that man has never cleaned a window properly in his life, lol

[@NathanEddington]

Exactly what I thought! Then uses the greasiest, dirtiest rag possible on it!

[@robert-oq9jq]

The great civilization that created these wonderfully machines and everything else this world enjoys is under attack, now who would be behind a thing like that?

There is something special about quiet machinery

[@douro20]

Not much horsepower but lots and lots of torque.

[@mechanicalmoron2251]

was this the one salvage squod restored?

[@IACooper]

Yes ...ish. The waggon was already "restored" - it was running before "Salvage Squad" were involved, but they did help with the over-winter job of replacing the firebox on the boiler of this waggon in 2004.

Where was the town in the last bit?

CLEANING THE WINDOWS WITH A FILTHY RAG AND AN OLD WIPER BLADE,?

[@IACooper]

The *new* spare wiper blade carried in the Series IIa Land Rover not seen here by the camera operator makes a very effective squeegee for cleaning condensation and dirt from Landy windows. ...alas, the eager volunteer who set to trying to clean the waggon windows clearly hadn't learnt the knack of using a squeegee for cleaning windows, so makes a fairly simple operation appear very difficult! - That in itself takes some level of skill Lol

[@Barmaley80x]

Not need gas station.

[@AsTheWheelsTurn]

cool except for the fake cheesy looking barrels on the bed.once you start putting fake decorative things on a historic vehicle it gets cheesy and not so cool. id rather just see an empty bed or some old rotting barrels strapped down appropriately not red painted fake barrels that are bolted down. it is not historically accurate and is just kind of disgraceful.

[@IACooper]

The barrels are definitely real, although were originally used for carrying spirits rather than oil. They occasionally have to be soaked in water to get them to expand and tighten up again as these days they are empty rather than full, so the wood dries out and shrinks. They are bolted to the bed, this stops them getting stolen when the waggon is left unattended for periods of time (as old barrels have become rather desirable these days). Being secured also makes them stable to sit on and means they don't move about. Clearly as you're interested in historical accuracy you will have already referred to the company's advertising literature from the early 1930's which shows the company's Sentinel waggons looking much like this, albeit with a second layer of barrels stacked horizontally on top of the first layer, and in some cases showing a DG6 on solids rather than a DG4 on air. The weight of the barrels alone was originally used to keep them in place, so strapping down would not be historically accurate and would be verging on just kind of disgraceful. The principle still remains that as seen today it is a pretty close match to the promotional photographs from 85 years ago. This particular waggon has been in the current family's ownership for over 40 years, so close to half of its existence and use has been in this ownership and form, which is longer than any of its previous owners.

@@IACooper Your reply was very interesting, and I presume this was the only reason you didn't give the written equivalent of the two fingered salute, that many of us think this ignorant fool actually deserved..........
