just found you so looking forward to seeing all your steam adventures

Brilliant video. It would be fantastic if at some stage in the future if you were to do follow up videos on the present former sites of other steam engine manufacturers around England. It would be epic to see these as well

Unfortunately life and progress moves on, Councils can barely afford to keep the bare essential services going let alone trying to preserve buildings that really have long since stopped being used fior what they were orginally built for. There is still a large amount of preserved stuff I feel around the country, at the end of the day you cant save everything or the whole of the country would end up being just one massive museum LOL

Great bit of history you are documenting there mate. Sir Isaac Newton once said “If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants” this seems to be a sentiment that is lost on modern governance. Thanks for the mention too 👍🏻 Nick R

A very interesting video! Thank you for sharing

That large Firth road open site was only demolished a few years back. It was a giant factory building branded with large white RUSTON name on the tritton road end of the building. It’s such a shame that it wasn’t saved

Damn! I wish I’d known you were here!

Not ramblings Dan, that was very interesting! Not seen any of those traction engine manufacturers building before. It is a great pity that some of these building can’t be repurposed in some was to remind people what went on in there area years ago. Unfortunately I could tell the same story’s hear in cornwall. Like holman’s brothers of Camborne, once employed over three and half thousand people building mining equipment shipped all over the world. Little to see now in camborne of the three sites they occupied. Hope you do more of this type of video 👍

Lincoln crank were in operation in steam days, probably suppliers to Traction engine manufacturers. I'm sure I've read references to them in books. Lincoln has numerous Victorian buildings that are standing derelict and decaying. I visited there a few months back. There's some murals/posters painted on the wall at the back of the railway station covering the manufacturing history. The museum of Lincolnshire life has a good collection of steam engines and products of Lincoln. This museum is on the top of Lincoln away from the centre. Thanks for taking us on this mini tour of places, whose history we are all proud of.

Sadly the steam enthusiast is a very small minority and the majority of the people in Lincoln now won't have a clue about any of the companies, likewise the council, unfortunately the majority of buildings are no longer fit for purpose and it's cheaper to demolish and start again, especially with the potential for asbestos in the existing buildings. It's not just Lincoln, Carlisle, my home city was home to Cowans Sheldon (crane makers to the world) and with the exception of a pub opposite what was their works there is no references to them at all.

First, surely! :-)

Turn the jug the other way, so the opening I at the top when it is laid down. This let's air in as it pours and prevents the glugging and spilling.

Pour it with the spout high, not low.

You should flip the jug around so the hole is at the top when pouring. Let's the jug breathe, and you won't spill a drop.

Why not just syphon it with a tube?

Put a bendy straw in the blue container to stop it plugging. Long part in and the short part out pointing up. Unless you want to airate it.

Well that made me hold my breath. Never thought apple juice would be so intense

Fucking Isaac Newtons fan club out here all at once. Didnt realise there were so many experts on pouring liquid 🤦‍♂️

next time pour with the spout on the top. trust me you will thank me later. you wont fight air needing into the jug. it will pour smooth.

Dumping several cups outside the container... wasteful, but a interesting way to guarantee the liquid fits.

There is a lot of ways to transfer/pour that liquid and not waste a drop. Just saying.

Bukake fest at the start

I know you've had plenty of pouring tips by now, but I expect if you're brewing etc. you've access to a sterile tube/hose? In that case, you should definitely use it to siphon out your liquids; it'd be easier, safer, and quicker than pouring! Just pop most of the tube into your juice container, keeping only one end outside the container; then pinch/clip the tube near the open end you're holding (so that it fully plugs the tube), and pull some of the tube back out (it will be filled with juice but won't pour back into the container while you've your end sealed). You can then release the pinch/clip when the opening is over your pot (keep the pot at a lower level than the container, like in the video) and then the liquid will drain out to the level of the end of your tube in the juice (you can tie a sterile weight to the end, too, which should get you close to fully emptying it in one go). Once most of the liquid has been siphoned put you can more easily pour the rest into your pot :)

Gotta commit to the pour! Learned this as a very young kid, so id stop spilling milk 😂

Try to Turn the jug on the wide side and it won’t glug glug smother pour. This method works when filling my cars washer fluid and oil, so I’m certain it will work for this too.? It’s worth a try.

Nice, may I ask what microphone (if any) you’re using for your voiceover in this video?

Looks gorgeous. Those bottles are easier to pour when turned 180 degrees weirdly enough.

Try to pour it wide side towards the table ;)

wow and peace be upon you sir from me

You may need a test driver 😉

I had the privilege of steering this beautiful engine at a show at Powderham Castle in Devon this year. ❤

looks a nice set up there can you drive around the site during the rally

Hello I was the one shovelling the apples into the buckets at duck it was nice to meet you too

Brilliant day out with a useful outcome 😉 Just lacking some sort of steam powered press, and a glass or two of cider 😋

Are you planning on trying another New Year’s Day steam?

What a great idea for a gathering! Good time had by all by looks of it. And good to see you looking better too Dan!

Nice Video 👍🏼

Good to see you back on your foot 🤪

Sorry to hear you've been unwell mate, hope you feel better soon! Another great video! I've been waiting for this one since i saw the photo you posted on the steam it sunday facebook group! 😂👍

Nice to see you back. That ploughing engine is enormous for a 4 inch.

Thought we had not seen any uploads for a wile! Sounds like you have had ruff time of it. Hope your on the mend now🤞 Great turnout and interesting place too. Very impressed with the Fowler ploughing engine, just like the full size!! It’s odd that people don’t subscribe, fenland crusader was saying same thing the other day. Great video👍

That is a fantastic little machine! What a pleasure to watch !

Hello there i was wondering whether you were going to any other steam rallies this year and if you are which ones as I was at the Shrewsbury steam rally and I was part of steam apprentice club. I was one of the people on the engines in the arena. Anyway keep up the good work!

How did you get that?? I’m looking for 1 at the moment

Great video. Shrewsbury really do the grand parade properly. I was driving Pepperpot the Wallis simplicity roller

Have you tried banking the fire overnight? I’d be interested to see how that goes

Wow I've never seen such a huge variety. What is the biggest steam engine show? If it has more variety than this im 100% going. Keep up the great work ✌️

lovely poem about the engineering company's who made steam engines in England and when we where the work shop to the world

the scrollwork on foremost's flywheel is really something. Don't think i've seen one painted like that before, might have to copy it for my 2" 👀

Nice seeing you Dan when I was with my Maclaren grate video
