Real feast John. :) The gorgeous waft of steam being raised. Some superb scale models. Have been in love with steam for 71 years.

There are a few old steam engines LIEING in paddocks around where I live, even a Ruston oil engine in the rest area around here on the highway they must weigh 20 tonnes so would be almost impossible to move ,they will rust way in PEACE. Thanks for great videos John I watch them all glad Debs feeling better and your dad too take care watch your weight with all that nice grub.cheers Keith in OZZI.

I think what I like the best are the steam engines turning over at about 1 rpm. Just so smooth... [EDIT: 1 RPS] [EDIT2: That and the barley-twist support pillars.] (Way too late to be commenting.)

Hi John, are those smaller traction engines scale model of larger machines custom built by their owners? Nice to see these steam rallies, we don't have these over here in the States. Sometimes you might see stationary engines for farm use but nothing like you have over there.

I live in the US and we used to have a large steam tractor exhibition every year at our county fair...until one blew up about 15yrs ago, killing 5 and injuring dozens. The blast sprayed hot water and iron shrapnel as far as 100 yards away. That was the end of that. With the strict UK health and safety regulations, I am surprised that you are even allowed to operate these steam vehicles among such large crowds of people. Many viewers probably don't realize that with the high pressures involved, these machines can explode like giant bombs if there is a mechanical failure or human error.

You obviously do not have "the correct answer" . In the UK steam boilers of all sizes are subject to annual steam tests and regular hydraulic testing by the insurance company or their authorised inspectors. Accidents can happen with any machinery but the Anerican incident IIRC was an extreme case of negligence. The last failure of a railway loco boiler in the UK was in 1921

+spentacle The last UK locomotive boiler explosion I found referenced happened on British Railways January 24, 1962. Steam locomotives have not been in widespread use in the US for over 100yrs. We never had steam powered trucks (like the Sentinels), and steam farm tractors (traction engines) were abandoned in the very early 1900's in favor of internal combustion engines. Since the UK was still using steam powered vehicles into the 1950's, perhaps there are still people who know more about operating them properly.

That would probably have been a firebox collapse rather than a boiler barrel, but yes, I was trying to make the point that we have ongoing knowledge, and youngsters coming on with an interest in preserving steam and operarting it correctly.

yes the annual safety tests are the answer, in the USA they do not even annual test their cars, i would expect an untested 100 year old boiler to be an accident waiting to happen.

Hi John, I always wondered how these things ever got around with rubber on the wheels that look to provide nearly zero traction. certainly they would never have worked in wet fields. can you give us a video sometime with some background?

A lot of them where mainly used as an engine for powering machinery such as threshing machines via belts.

yes, for ploughing, you had one engine at each end of the field connected to a big drum of cable, so the engine would only have to travel once on the more solid outside of the field, never have to cross it.
