Tanks trains and terrible mud!

[@sparkplug0000]

It’s a real oversight of the original architects of that farm to not plan better for large scale armored vehicle operations.

[@lawrencebuckley4750]

Wow, brings back memories, drove warrior for 10yrs during my time in the army!!! Brilliant machine

[@jasonjavelin]

Man that Warrior is so sick! Also very excited to see the final results on the Berlin Brigade Chieftain. Very nice piece

[@DraftySatyr]

Served in Berlin in 89/90 and the Berlin Brigade Chieftains (and 432/30s!) always stole the show during any Tri-Partite parade or exercise, if only because of the paint job!

[@marcfournier823]

Any one of your episodes that features a Foden is top drawer to me.❤

[@kensherwood4866]

My Sunday is complete, a 1 fingered salute from Jack, the promise of railway fun to come and lots of Foden action ❤

[@chrisdavies1336]

What a waste of a perfectly good warrior. I’ll buy it to save it from wastage. Always loved them.

[@richardthered]

I cannot wait to see the train and track around the farm what a incredible idea. These videos are excellent. 👍🏻Good job lads

[@ppf_services]

Thinking the same... Who would like to see the train re-bodied as a foden? Thumbs up and ill CAD up the design...

[@lesthiele4921]

There was no need for your colleague to give you that very gesture, he should be made to make the cups of tea for a month, another great video, bext regards from a Kiwi living in Australia 👍👍👍👍👍

[@johngreen-sk4yk]

I once did a tamiya 1/35 chieftain in Berlin brigade colours & that was a pain in the ass . BIg respect to you guys doing a full size one ! Can't wait to see it finished 👍

[@huwevans2653]

At some point, it would be great to see an in-depth look at the Fodens and why you like the White front better. Great video's and like your style. Keep up the good work.

[@Paddington60]

Totally agree!!! I was looking at the stern of Foden and wondering about all the pin holes and how they are utilised to pull all different sorts of things.

[@matsutermini8077]

The Foden was designed to recover vehicles up to 30t, but it doesn't know and tows a 50t chieftain 💪

Safety Officer Ted is doing a very good job!

[@jonathanking1576]

Love that Foden! Plenty of power! Most of the time barely off tick over

[@sparkplug0000]

I must say that when the warrior turned past the broken brick wall and encountered the rear end of that tank, I got Deja vu of Kelly’s Heroes.

[@ThirdDegreeWitchExplores]

That Foden eats its weetabix , bloody handy tool that . 100% fan here

[@locomotive110]

Saw a video by exploremore of a yard full of trucks etc.more importantly there was a Stalwart in the yard. Most of the vehicles had York on the names. Great videos keep them coming...

Love the warrior brings back loads of good memory’s, would love to have a drive in one again.

[@robinhadley]

Nice,2ft gauge. The pedal on the floor will be dead man's pedal. The warrior parked up between those walls looks like something from Normandy 😁

[@Rokonroller]

Being from Canada I’ve never heard of a Foden before connecting with your channel. Great trucks. We have ‘Bed Trucks’, Picker Trucks, wreckers with the same configuration as your Fodens, but your cabs are shorter, we had cabovers, but were phased out in favour of aerodynamic‘conventional’ tractors for long haul’s

[@davechipling169]

The American paccar company owned foden trucks until they sold it off and killed the name in the mid 2000s I used to work at the factory

[@GazC]

I love how easy the Foden makes shunting those hulls around!

[@Gibbo919]

The Berlin paint on that Cheiftain is going to look soooo good! Excited! Ted'll concrete that bit for you.

[@tigertankboy2439]

Would love to see the Challenger 1 added to your collection! one of my favourite tanks of that era.

Trains now we are talking! 2ft gauge? Good stuff.

[@QALibrary]

I am very surprised that Ted has not got his own KZbin and Twitter account

[@DelticEngine]

I don't know it it's just me, but I felt a wave of sadness to hear that the warrior tank would end up nothing more than a gate guard. It seems such a lovely piece of machinery and runs nicely too, although it appears some instrumentation is not working. Maybe I'm starting to understand why people like rescuing, renovating, restoring and running such machines.... though I'm not sure how practical some of them would be as a daily driver! 😀

[@Reaper4367]

Give Ted a well earned belly rub for us! Great effort, is exciting with 'what could be' with the 'Concrete Chieftain'.

[@DraftySatyr]

My wife 'caught' me watching the channel last night and passed some remark about 'tank porn'. Good job she didn't realise see all the lingering shots of Ted.

[@LazurusEnterprises]

I’ve always been fascinated with the heavier type of war / commercial vehicles, SCANIA, SCAMMEL, FODEN, FORDS, LEYLAND, MAN, MACK, UNIMOG /MERCEDES etc but beginning to like the looks & sounds of your tanks as well. Daniel.

If you guys need any Hydraulics sorting on the trains, let me know. I'm local to you lot. Love the videos, keep it up!

[@Tai1g]

Great video as always, makes me jealous to see all of the vehicles you work on on a daily basis! This has probably been asked many times before, but has there been any consideration to the Challenger 1 'Prototype' that's been listed on a certain military vehicle site for a few years? Would be an interesting one for sure, though I can imagine not the easiest logistically!

[@paoloviti6156]

I'm really jealous too that he's driving all around those vehicles!!

[@jamesbarker4808]

It’s strictly not quite a Challenger prototype but ATR 1 which was used as an automotive test bed on the Shir programme.

[@jamesbarker4808]

And then MBT 80.

There is a chance that could make its way to mine

[@swagmanexplores7472]

Tanks AND Trains ! - awesome 😁

[@aserta]

1:15 you can use wood or cheap seam pipe to make tracks for those and make it into a water delivery system. My grandpa had a similar, but smaller mine loco and he'd move heavy equipment and water all over the farm with it. He used whatever was around to make the tracks, which weren't permanent, he'd switch them about wherever he'd need them. Best part, no holes in the soft soil, using boards and whatever to displace the weight. Super farm friendly.

[@big5tu99]

love watching you all play with tanks what a job , out of interest how much weight can the fodens push or pull . keep up the good work 👍👍 carry on !!

[@musicnerd1115]

Hey joe🙋 your regular sub here, I have a pretty good idea for your Renault car video.. You can change the thumbnail and replace it with time stamp 7:19 of that video. It will attract a lot of new viewers. And you can also change the title to "tearing a car apart with two trucks" or "testing a Renault clio's durability". Hope you'll find this helpful.❤

[@MrHewes]

I’l try it bud

[@andrewwww7684]

Great video as always Joe, wanted to ask though how do the towing hitches/clamps work the two piece ones you always you the A frame on?

[@kiwidonkeyk1656]

Those shackles on the front of the Foden look big enough to use to hang the whole truck up.

[@MrHewes]

They are!

Foden or Lanz Bulldog at 10:50????? Jokes aside n they are an impressive bit of kit. The gents who designed them did a good job. Not sure if they made it to here in Australia.

There's a Challenger 2 sat outside the Discovery museum in Newcastle, used to be the gate guard at Vickers Scotswood Plant where it was built, I believe it was a trial one, it sits on a ramp in the car park now, sadly it's also full of concrete apparently.

hey guys for us over seas viewer can you do a bit on the Fodens, I.d like to know what the drive line and engine is in ti and who its manufactured by if not Foden them selves?

[@scottessery100]

2:00 Is it a track inspection “train” used by pway gangs?

[@JRM-VSR]

Trains around the farm - sounds interesting. Are you planning on hauling farmed crops, or just using them as toys? Yes, they are surprisingly heavy/dense - they have to be. Metal on metal doesn't grip, so all that weight is essential for adhesion so it will pull loads. And that pedal isn't the throttle, the throttle will be hand operated. That's the safety cut-out pedal. You have to keep your foot on it all the time or it will stop.
