  • A Video showing various engines tackling the infamous engine hill at Porthtowan, Cornwall. This road run happens every 5 years as a way to remember Alan Thomas who helped make the west of England steam engine society (weses) and the Cornish Steam & Country Fair grow its popularity and success. The road run itself consists of 17 miles of country roads from Chacewater to Stithians showground with engine hill being the highlight for not only the engine owners but for the enthusiast and for those who just want to see a spectacular event. One stand out highlight of this road run was three Burrells, 3903 'Excelsior', 3937 'Janet' and 3919 'Susie' hauling a 17 tonne stationary engine house beam up engine hill.

    Thank you for posting this, so soothing to listen to steam tractors. And such power they still have. And those mini's are great works of art in my book. Thanks again.

    Well done to those miniatures for making it! That must be a real challenge for the boilers. I love that miniature heavy haulage convoy.

    That Marshall roller at the beginning is beautiful. Those rollers must have virtually zero grip on wet roads.

    Great video. You caught a UFO at 0:56 just above the tractor. Very very fast

      Max Davies guess you don’t know how to stop the video at the right time to get a good view of the UFO. That’s a funny reply

    How many shows has that engine beam at 15:30 been to? Just about every time I watch some British steam rally video I see it.

  • @barryphillips7327

    Old Fred Dibnah would have this event, and maybe entered his own one. three traction engines three trailers = steam road train at aprox 15m in video.

    Excuse me, but I'd like to know who the idiots are that parked their cars in the road, blocking traffic both directions. Despite low traffic volume they could have caused a major wreck.

    • @SouthWestSteam
      @SouthWestSteam  9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      As to who were parked in the lay by, i am unaware of, but yes they couldve parked somewhere else where they weren't blocking some of the road, however as to limited parking in the area, many who came to watch had to find the smallest of spaces as to which park their car in.

    • @bitsnpieces11
      @bitsnpieces11 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Burly Boy Ok, I was cross. But if you look you can see they are parked two abreast and some of the steamers had to stop and wait for oncoming traffic to clear before going on.

    • @AndreiTupolev
      @AndreiTupolev 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +bitsnpieces11 The people strolling down the road on the curve with their backs to oncoming traffic do make one go :-/ ; a bit, to be sure. I think it was them that were causing an obstruction.
      And the old feller at 7:30 who went strolling in front of the camera, standing in the road, wondered if he might stroll across the road right in front of the oncoming engine, but decided not to ... *rolls eyes*

  • @aceoftrainsproductions745

    Is it me, or does the roller at 16:06 sound like a gasoline motored tractor.

    • @59TR3driver
      @59TR3driver 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Not certain, but I think that is because that model has twin cylinders (one on each side). Since each cylinder delivers two power strokes per revolution, it is the equivalent of an 8 cylinder 4 cycle engine. (Each cylinder on a 4 cycle only delivers power every other revolution.)
