Tanks trains and terrible mud!

In this video, I have a move around while the weather is nice to make space for more vehicles turning up in the next month or so.

[@jasonjavelin]

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

[@ThePhoenix198]

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.❤

[@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...

[@kensherwood4866]

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

[@lawrencebuckley4750]

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

[@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 😁

[@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 👍

[@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

[@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 💪

[@tigertankboy2439]

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

[@MrHewes]

One day!!

[@GazC]

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

[@TheBekker_]

The Warrior is such a cool machine, too bad its just gonna end up as a gate guard.

[@frankmcgorman962]

Safety Officer Ted is doing a very good job!

[@ThirdDegreeWitchExplores]

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

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

[@Gibbo919]

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

[@jonathanking1576]

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

[@darrenhawken9766]

Great driving, low range 6x6 engaged, sounds good, thanks for sharing 💨💨👍

[@QALibrary]

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

[@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 👍👍👍👍👍

[@samrodian919]

Nice bit of pushing and pulling MR Hews. Really impressive HGV driving skills.Proper bits of kit are those Fodens!

[@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...

[@wideyxyz2271]

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

[@karldickinson2799]

Can't wait to see it when you build a train track round your farm that be cool

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

This is the most AMAZINGLY , BADASS CHANNEL!!! Keep it up Boyz!👊💪

[@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.

[@MrHewes]

There is a chance that could make its way to mine

Mate building a train track will be a sick project in the future but out of all the steel and iron I've just seen that pink horse box lol what's the story there, I saw the Tele that identifies as a Foden looking at her giving her a 😉 but the worrier flexed passed and cockblocked big Yella, could be trouble in the yard later 🤣🤣

[@samharvey6194]

That warrior sounds awesome! I want one and a muddy assault course 😂

[@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.

[@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.

[@dc-4ever201]

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.

[@Reaper4367]

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

[@TheGeezzer]

05:20 When Hewes said "....time to get the Foden" my bowels juttered everso slightly, yes the Formidable Foden _can_ have that effect on you, and you dont even have to be there!

[@fastmover45]

Love the videos but always wish we has more and longer maybe with a bit more talking too.

[@FrontSideBus]

That Foden does a good job at moving those MBT's around. I bet jobs like that I bet you wish you had that Cent ARV up and running!

[@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! 😀

[@Sbanar]

Massive shame the Warrior is ending up as a gate guard :/

[@markcherriman6136]

You should have an open day to allow your fans to come and see all your projects .

I go to shows for that. I like to keep where I live private for obvious reasons

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.

[@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.❤
