Starting the Weirdest Steam Truck Ever Invented

In this episode on Tekniq, let us indulge into the extraordinary display of steam powered 4 wheel wagons in the United Kingdom and the behind the scenes of operating them.

[@snubbedpeer]

This is a Sentinel DG4 steam wagon built in 1931 in Shrewsbury, where the Morris company is also located.

[@ruslanginiyatullin9582]

Sentinel prime?

[@DeliciousBoi]

1931!? I was expecting 1910 at the latest.

[@gordonpasha3126]

When I was a child, today I am 65 years old, in my grandfather's road company in Italy there were still two steam rollers. I remember the ritual of turning on and maintaining pressure on the boiler. In the evening there was a fire attendant until dinner time who at 4 in the morning would start feeding the boiler again to be ready to start after 5. In Italy coal was very expensive and the rollers were fueled with pressed bricks of coal waste. During the winter some workers worked to make tiles with a hand press for the summer jobs.I feel like I'm telling a story from 200 years ago but if I've seen it it's not more than 60 years ago.....

[@VivyX2]

you sure about the 60mph thing?

[@keithhooper6123]

Yes, though that's the model that replaced the one shown.

[@holysirsalad]

Older ones went to 50 MPH or so, these were built to compete with petrol lorries/trucks in the 1920s. This model was launched in 1928 but Sentinel kept making these monsters into the 1930s! You'd have to be nuts, of course, to go that fast... and know all the nearest watering holes.

[@johnfenton3699]

There was a road repair contractor in the 1970's in the county of Fflint in the UK was looking for a number of these vehicles to use as tar sprayers. He thought they were the best possible vehicle for the job - the steam from the boiler kept the tar liquid and supplied pressure for spraying, whilst the regulator could be set to creep up any gradient at a steady 2 mph. Doing that trick with a diesel lorry simply destroyed the clutch, a feature you wouldn't find on a Sentinel. Unfortunately I neither know how he fared in his quest to acquire more, nor do I know what became of the lorries he had.

[@duncancremin1708]

I had the sheer good fortune to speak to someone at a steam festival, this summer, who had a couple of steam tractors on show. He told me about his lorry and one thing I remember is that it was kept lit, so cold starting was probably a rare enough occurrence. But that practice was not reserved for steam. In the 1990s, diesel electric locomotives used to be run into sidings and left running overnight, to eliminate the need for cold starting in the small hours.

[@woodchopinbeekeeper929]

Talk about glazing the bores

[@wilsjane]

If the sidings were on a slope, sometimes it was necessary to maintain pressure in the braking system. If the train was coupled, this could save almost an hour, winding the mechanical brake on and off each carriage.

[@jodyreeder4820]

I would love to have one myself

[@JavierRodriguez-zb9ju]

I noticed that it has a battery. I assume it will be for the lights... // He observado que lleva una batería. Deduzco que será para las luces...

[@paulodasilvaandre7808]

I think it's cool just for display, even though a lot of the work was left in the great-great-grandparents' time, who knows in the future if the fuel will run out we'll go back to steam...

[@misterRobbi]

Dont worry about fuel running out before that happens the government will permanently lockdown the world and remove all freedom to travel so you wont need vehicles anyway.
