STEAM FIRE UP RUNNING 10 ENGINES AT ONE TIME!!!

[@barryphillips7327]

Our screwed world needs more like Jonathan W, he is Honest Hard Working No nonsense down to earth!!!! One day JW will have his own museum with all these machines!

[@frankwurth5375]

Jonathan, on your injector issues, a few cautions that you may already know. Those union fittings are usually individually lapped to the injector their on, may not seal on a different body. Also, their designed to operate in a specific boiler pressure, and temperature feed water. If the boiler pressure is above or below the rated work range, they will either balk or refuse to work. Same with the feed water temp. As a rule of thumb, if the feed water is above your body temp, it won't pick up. The injector don't need pre heated feed as the injector will heat the water at the delivery line. The piston pump is the one that can benefit from preheat. Now there are injectors that are designed for different pressures and temps, one would need to look the specs on the ones your using. These feed problems are the reason that we are required to have 2 means of feed water, in case one fails. Many times a bucket of cool water poured on an over heated injector will get it working. BTW, love your videos!

You sir are a brilliant man . Doing all this to old time engines. Sharing with the world the passion for these works of men long gone. Built America and made us the giants of industry.

[@barryphillips7327]

Well said! He is a great man!!

[@grande1184]

Jonathan you have amassed an amazing collection of steam engines. Its a beautiful sight watching them all running. Thank you for sharing the past in the steam era.

[@Hjerte_Verke]

We are still IN the steam era!

[@jamesbergeron8356]

I can't believe how far you've come, it seems like a year or two ago you were just getting your first engine.

[@stephenchamp-op2cn]

Your collection has gotten huge. Great work Jonathan 😎

[@billmoran3812]

What you have done with these steam engines is nothing short of amazing. Certainly this is one of very few collections this size in the US that are not only mostly operational, but privately owned and maintained. Years ago I worked as a volunteer at the New England Wireless and Steam museum in Rhode Island which was owned by the late Bob Merrium. They had a yearly steam up where all of the stationary steam engines were operated, but that took a large group of volunteers, and not as many engines as you have!

[@farmerbill6855]

I could've stood a half hour of watching that Bates Corliss run. So very cool. Best regards from Indiana.

[@stevesalvage1089]

Brilliant Jonathan ! Be nice to see more longer running films on all the engines , , especially the bates could watch that all day relaxing , therapeutic, work of art call it what you will ,

[@garymccord4277]

What a GREAT COLLECTION never have I seen so many steam engines that ran. Stay healthy those engines need you.

[@hackfabrication139]

I remember watching the video where you got your first steam engine. I was thinking: He'll just get that one running, and move on to other things. Boy, was I wrong. You've got a museum full of history, and I'm certain you're not done yet.

[@geraldharkness8830]

jonathan,you truly are an amazing guy! all those lovely old steam engines that probably by now be a pile of scrap,are having a new lease of life in their twylight years! thank you for sharing it all for us to enjoy!

[@OlysGarage]

I remember when you got your 1st engine. You kept saying- "oh maybe I'll make it run, maybe not... if anything I'll just inject it with air...." and- "I don't think I'll light light up a boiler as they are probably unsafe.... " HA! You've come a LONG way and its been fun sharing the experience! Now look at you! You're running 10+ engines on some of the baddest old boilers one can get their hands on. Doesn't seem to be anything you 'can't" do! Love the fact you've studied and preserved this old machinery!

[@deanross4090]

I remember you pulling that first one out of the thicket and figuring out how to put it back together and getting it running. Amazing. Great job.

[@nadenolam8368]

He works best under pressure.

[@williamoneal2763]

Or shall we say...”when he is steamed up and under pressure”

[@johnmccormick175]

Pretty amazing watching them all running thanks to you Jonathan..great video,thanks for sharing and stay safe.

[@harrycatrell1471]

Absolutely incredible, Jonathan! Thanks for sharing! Bro Harry

[@MattBrownbill]

That was a fantastic demo of all those engines at once. I have a soft spot for that little Eerie Steam Shovel engine, such a compact design. 😊

[@dwebster50]

Man oh man Jonathan, that’s quite remarkable. The big machines are quite incredible. 🇨🇦😊great video !🏅

[@lyndonwortley6329]

Jonathan. Once again I have to say thank you for sharing your passion for steam and iron and thank you for keeping these old machines alive!

[@duncanfrere2656]

Love watching them run! Thanks for letting us watch!

[@danellsworth7102]

Steam engines just seam to come to life! I love watching them. Thank you Johathan!

[@tresfingeros]

Jonathan Sir, you have an impressive display of history👍 Was that a steam tractor I saw at the beginning of the video? Steam engines, car fabrication it doesn't matter to me ...you are a talented man.👍 🤔 I'm seeing a new power source for your wood saw.

[@hensleyshobbies-doug7761]

Love seeing all the old engines running, that's just fantastic! All history buddy, history!

[@royhaught9516]

Steam power forever, from a old boilermaker!

[@santaclause2875]

Wow, Jonathan, you've created an AWESOME setup there!! It's just amazing, and something you and your family can be proud of!! I'd love to come see it some day !

[@anypryers]

I am awestruck. Your hospitality exceeds most I've known. Thank you gentle sir.

[@markhouck1671]

Jonathan you are the history man, Preserving the steam history in your fine examples. What made America in the industrial revolution! The power of steam!

[@MartsGarage]

Wow Jon, seeing all those motors running is fantastic. Also seeing the things you have collected all laid out is very impressive. If I could achieve 1/100th of your output I would be pleased. Keep on keeping on! All the best, Mart in England.

[@xozindustries7451]

That’s awesome! I’d love to see them all running in person, great job!

[@danasixty5402]

This collection is Amazing . Outstanding work Johnathan . Maybe you can open a Steam Engine Museum .

[@awkwarddude]

Love the sight and sound of all those steam engines running, keep saving the old iron, Jonathan!

[@jeffbrannon9680]

All the engines are very interesting but the Bates is one of my favorites. I like watching the big fly will go around on it

[@RobertBrown-oe2vi]

Your collection of steam engines makes for an impressive Steam Park! Thank you for sharing.

[@kentmckean6795]

Love it! If the exhaust is putting water onto the roof, go to a larger diameter discharge pipe and extend it 4-6 feet. This will allow the discharge to cool and the condensate will drain back down the pipe rather than being spit out onto the roof. 🙂 Or, decrease the size of the discharge pipe and insulate it. This may allow the exhaust to remain steam and force it up and out farther away before it condenses.

[@huntm7592]

Another awesome video. So cool seeing the engines that helped build America running agin and saved from the scrap yard.

[@jorgefernandez-mv8hu]

Great Job getting them all working. It's cool to watch them all working at the same time. It's always a pleasure watching your videos.

[@frankkirby5763]

This was a tremendous video. I have followed you for a few years now. I see the passion you have for steam. I appreciate that. Best wishes.

[@davidvansickle563]

The school system’s in NC should be bringing field trips to your property. This is great information. I’m fascinated with your work. Are you able to generate your own electricity with the steam engine?

[@rogercamp6071]

I agree with you, show todays kids how it was done before the advent of modern technology,I had the opportunity as a teenager to observe old traction engines,tractors and the farm machinery from back then, I could just imagine how fascinated my dad would have been to see Jonathans collection of steam engines.

[@djhscorp]

Great collection,very talented man. First class to see these engines saved for the future.

[@donschneider7252]

Thanks Jonathan Love them all ! I especially like the turbine and would love to have one of my own... Maybe some day

[@paulcorkum2105]

I’ve always watched every video you’ve ever posted I enjoyed every one of them I love these steam engines videos very much it’s amazing to fortitude you have to put these big steam engines together it blows my mind what you’ve done with them keep up the amazing work Cheers brother ❤

[@theodoredugranrut8201]

That is awesome to see Johnathan. Great work thanks to all involved . Central California watching.

[@Rl469]

Earth (iron), Fire, Air, and Water and you get some awesome power! These engines are fun to watch and hear. Put them to work, Jonathan! Cheers! I

[@seano2178]

I love the steam videos, Jonathan. My daughter is starting to watch them. She is six years old and very intrigued by the steam engines.

[@totallyjonesin]

Show her an old western movie with the steam trains.

[@fester73666]

Cool to see some of your steam engines running again Johnathan, takes us back to great period in time and history 👍👍

[@sjduncan69]

Your collection is so awesome. Saving these engines for our future to see.

[@randomyank7777]

Awesome ! Looks like a great day , sounds like one too . Definitely have put a button in , for the Grandson to ring that bell . Lol . God bless !

[@greghamilton1638]

Love your collection of wrenches Jonathan!

[@Andy-ql9wh]

I really like your channel, it's like going back in time

[@JustinKohl]

I enjoy all the steam engines . You are saving apart of your history.

[@jacksimpson710]

I just love it, looks like it's doubled in size since we came over. Thanks for sharing

[@duron700r]

The lever oiler on the steam pump: Our club has one very similar on a Vilter 18x36 Corliss engine and it works real nice to give a shot or two while running. Maybe theres a check valve I havent noticed underneath. Excellent as usual!

[@stijn2472]

Absolutely wonderful to see. Amazing collection.

[@kb9oak749]

You have enough of those running to power a small factory. Good work!

[@Dwayne7834]

You have a good collection and it is certainly growing. Thanks for sharing.

[@Sam-dm4kz]

Please go 170 miles and buy everything asap before it goes to scrap. 2 generators and control box disconnect these are gems. You have come long way bro. I remember subscribing your Chanel few years back I think you had 3000 subscribers. Lonve your steam collections.

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

So neat. I love how you preserve history and teach us about it.

[@daved7024]

Nice collection of steam engines 😊 great to see em all running 👍 thanks Johnathan. Hello Nanna 🐈 Scan 😃

[@cliffhaupt5413]

What a set up Johnathan. You come along way.

[@terrycole9427]

It's looking like a museum. Thank you for sharing with us

[@Pohleece222]

Would you consider hooking up the steam boiler with old school radiators to heat your shops or even your home? My stepdad still resides in the home I grew up in in Baltimore and that house (built in 1927) still has those old caste iron radiators. Naturally they have a relatively modern natural gas fired boiler, (it was an old asbestos covered oil burner when I was a kid). Staying up there in the winter and hearing those old radiators pop and clank as they heat my old bedroom sure brings back fond memories.

[@frederickrodger7249]

Excellent, I enjoy seeing these machines run.

[@mickspencer4171]

Very impressive steam show Jonathan, love it.

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

👍👌👏 Absolutely fascinating! The big, heavy engines are somehow graceful, especially if running slow. Best regards, luck and especially health to all of you (including inspector Nana Catscan of course). 😁 ;-)

[@daviddamico4288]

Awesome setup Jonathan, love seeing your videos on projects…

[@hfdzl]

Me being so mechanically inclined, what a total candy store or iron marvels you have collected! A-mazing!

[@deanross4090]

The engine that is painted gray sure looks nice.

[@craiggraham8790]

Been watching your videos for years always interesting always learn something I didn't know before

[@ervingoertzen7233]

Love the steam power , and your personal museum ! I hope to see it one day !

[@majicmancoo]

Pretty cool jonathan. thank u for saving these historic items.

[@WayneGiguere-d9f]

Hey Jonathan your friend from Florida it's amazing how much you can run off of that one boiler and all the new equipment I Saw The roaster in the background looks pretty sweet can't wait to get up there and see it in person one of these days I'll get to see it running you have a good day my friend

[@leepatton1180]

This is a great collection of steam engines thanks for sharing

[@SteamCrane]

Wonderful stuff! You should set up a camera facing the Bates valve gear and let it run a while. A 5 hour video would be about right. Then do the same with some of the other big engines. Looks like quite a few other people are thinking the same.

[@p.thadeushornswoggler4987]

I like your Moto Guzzi California!! That's my ride. Oh, and your steam engines ain't too bad either. Love the boys!

[@scottcarter90]

I love seeing steam engines. You have a neat group of engines. Good job!

[@nickpopelka]

That is a beautiful place you have there john what a collection so awesome

[@mikewinkelman7015]

You could have your own steam show, great way to showcase your collection.

[@SMoore-js6fy]

Wonderful! Thanks for the update at the steam power Museum ~~

[@nightlightabcd]

Love your steam engines and I like that yellow roadster back there to!

[@DAPwny]

Who doesn't love old steam engines so cool buddy.

[@AndrewHCann]

Excellent video on Steam Engines you have Johnathan W :) and got all working super and boilers too so cool too watch videos on them ! I bet temperatures super hot 🔥 when running them too and say drink water time Lol!

[@jerryking2418]

Very interesting video. The stone and brick foundations are a work of art.

[@jtelliso]

8:40 if you close your eyes and listen to these things working this is what a factory 200 years ago may have sounded like.

[@JamesDavis-to1hn]

Your collection of steam engines is awesome!

[@robmatthews7972]

Great work Jonathan.

[@ZMadtrapper]

THANKS fer postin lad !! LOVE IT EH !! Ya gots a lot of them runnin GOOD !!! THANKS for the updates EH !!

[@rogergoodman8665]

Are you planning to have open house day events in the future. I bet people would love to come see your stuff. I remember when you brought the first engine home, now you have enough to qualify as a living history museum!

[@patrickduley405]

Place looks amazing incredible running that many steam engines at once. I enjoy your videos so much. Can’t wait to stop by sometime to check them out sometime if that’s cool with you.

[@JMassengill]

I never knew I needed to know about steam engines but I never miss a video of your steam engines

[@mikeembrey9176]

Nice setup you did great 👍🏻🇺🇸

[@dougscott8161]

Hi, Jonathan, I think I first found your channel on a hot rod, and I remember when you first acquired the first Bates Corliss Engine after trying for over 20 years. You then got your Steam Certification and now you have one of the largest collections of Steam Engines in private hands. I'm sure it rivals many commercial museums in both quantity and quality.Congratulations, and I hope to some day get up there to see it and meet you in person. God Bless and continue to stay safe, Meow to Ninja Catscan.💯👍

[@bigunone]

I wish my grandpa was still alive he ran the steam engines at several mines in New Mexico back in 1920 till WW2 then he went to work in Clovis NM at Cannon airbase

[@lateefcarrere1649]

A steam symphony!👍

[@mikahakkinen5651]

great video fun see those steam engines running

[@nickjervis8123]

JW you've come a long way. Nice to see the Elcar. Do you still have a wooden chassis Franklin? The Willys? The Elcar is a fascinating machine as some had a Lever engine. The collection of steam engines is beyond just admiration. The Eerie is from a steam shovel? All the very best to you Nick Jervis UK 🇬🇧

[@jlletaw1954]

Westinghouse sign looked good...l think we need one shaped up like a historical marker that says Winans Repair Shop 🤔

[@brianmalone4168]

Hey I got one of those little air compressors next to the gray engine you added drain valves to. Came out of a dentist office i tore down 40 years ago.

[@bkrgi]

Love to hear a load put on one of them big engines and make it work.

[@danontherun5685]

Gonna be really cool when you take home a 16 wheel big boy.

[@rodney1818]

I like the big steam engines to But for some reason I really like that little turbine engine And the ship anchor engine
