TOWER BRIDGE LIFTING & BRIDGE’S STEAM ENGINES (running on low pressure compressed air)

[@Dave.w-ev9qn1962]

That was fascinating James! Not seen any film of the bridge for long time. It sure is well maintained! Great video 👍

Thanks! Oh yea they look after the bridge very well

Another great video James. She just doesn't run smooth on low pressure low volume does she? You British have the most beautiful steam engines.

Thanks! Yes she’s very beautiful! Yeah it doesnt like running on air at all, running a steam engine on air or motor isnt good for them

Great video! Do you happen to know whether the machines are ever demonstrated running smoothly? This is barely enough air pressure to get them over top dead center - still better than being driven by an electric motor though.

Thanks! No this is how they are ran every day
