The Mighty Kempton Steam Engine

Steaming Day at Kempton

[@21jlxi]

How great it is to stand next to a giant machine and not have to wear ear protection, even though the workings are completely open. The only thing bad about steam, is the way the water is heated.

Great video, great music !

[@headstocktailstock]

Great engine, shame about the lousy music though would be nice to hear the engine!!

[@TheShowgirl25]

Watch my video of it on my channel, TheShowgirl25. Vireo at #128 - no music - just raw sound!

No accounting for taste

​@@cappokenneth (Irony's sword has no handle.) I especially love the long shots that gave a view of the whole machine and those little ants that were humans. Very dramatic, very beautiful. And though that song happens to be a favorite of mine, I think there ought to be a second video that has just the sound of the steam engine. And, of course, I'm so picky I would want that one to be done without an audience so you could hear just the engine. But that's in addition to, I certainly want both cuz that engine and the song go well together. song Haha, everybody's a critic. 😁 But honestly, thanks for taking the time to make that and put it up here I really enjoyed it.

@@2ndfloorsongs Thanks for the comment, I keep all the original footage so due to popular demand I will post a couple of shots with just the original sound, I can't help that there are people talking in the background, I only make these videos as a hobby really, it gets me out for the day and it's something I enjoy doing and something to look back on when I get too old to get about...

[@2ndfloorsongs]

@@cappokenneth Yes, understand the constraints. The guys running the machine in coveralls are important as having a few humans in there to illustrate the size is necessary since the size is unbelievable. Photographs for when you get too old... Well, I'm too old and I certainly appreciate them right now. 😁

A beautifully produced video of an amazing engine! Thank you!

[@TheShowgirl25]

So, I DO have ONE video of this engine on my channel. It's #128. but I could do another one with different unseen clips joined together. Interested?

[@Thiviru_premarathne]

Isn't this the engine used in the movie call "Saving the Titanic"

[@cappokenneth]

Having never seen this movie I'm unable to answer this, but I would be surprised if it has not found its way into a film or three.

[@Thiviru_premarathne]

@@cappokenneth I will send you the link so you can watch it

[@TheShowgirl25]

Treble music? Don't you mean TERRIBLE?

[@tonymercer7759]

Stupid ,inappropriate accompanying music, The engine is the music

[@cappokenneth]

why not go and make your own version, or do you just like mocking others.
