Nice bit of Nostalgia there John, thanks... Wasn't so long after that, that some of the lads started coming to the Victorian Extravaganza in Llandudno (my home town).
Great to see these old films and video and looking forward to seeing more in the future. Marvellous!! Hope you are your familiy are well, particuarly Deb's and your father.
I would say all of them. Unless owners are a old and struggling to find any younger guys to drive them. None of them would have gone to scrap since. It was the sixties that were when they were disappearing
Great video, John and Edd! The crop of machines looks quite different than the ones in your current rally videos. Seems odd, where could they have gone? Both you and your dad, as well as your son(?) are looking quite dapper and are obviously having fun. We can sure see where you got the bug for this...
John, What a great time you guys must have had! That's really neat that you converted those movies to TH-cam. Portable video tape recorders were just getting a start then but 8mm film was still also available. Which format did your Dad use? That was really a treat! Thanks so much to you and your Dad! Have a good one! Dave
I can see you were drooling at the sight even then, and not a swearword in sight. lol. when i was studying for my skipper ticket in south shields nautical colledge there was a vaux horse and cart still delivering barrels in the town. On another note what would one of those engines cost nowadays to buy?
Thanks for the video of all the fine traction engines.

Great to see the head-gear hasn't changed much :-)

Bet your dad never imagined his video clips would be seen all over the world 20+ years later :)
Thanks. That's a lot of history right there.
Thanks for sharing John. Good stuff! Hope you and your family are well. Cheers.
Thanks! To you and Ed both.
Wish I was there thanks for sharing.

8:45 first time i have ever seen a steam engine with truck tyres
I wonder how many of the steamers een here still show at the shows today?
I would say all of them. Unless owners are a old and struggling to find any younger guys to drive them. None of them would have gone to scrap since. It was the sixties that were when they were disappearing
that's a cool memory to have, bet you where suprized how it all came back .
Great compilation John :-)
Thx for sharing

What a feast for the eyes!
Hi John . Was that tradition engine at 12.15 the same company as Richards steam wagon. Thanks for sharing your trip down memory lane. Great video
Excellent
Lovely old iron and not a single mobile phone to be seen.
yeah it was 1993! no phones then! just terrible fashion sense
Huh, no mobiles then, the first call I made on a mobile was in 86 (ok, it was a Luggable and it wasn't mine) but I had a mobile of my own in 93
well sure they existed, rockets to the moon existed in 1969 but everyone didnt go around shopping in them!
My point is these days you can't go anywhere without seeing people using their phones. Phones were around but not like today.
maybe in another 20 years we will look back and wonder why everyone stares at this small black box in their hand all day
That's really nice John, you looked dapper. Who is the youngster with you in the footage?
I can see you were drooling at the sight even then, and not a swearword in sight. lol. when i was studying for my skipper ticket in south shields nautical colledge there was a vaux horse and cart still delivering barrels in the town.

Oh, John, were we all so young and handsome 25 years ago?
What happened to everybody?
Where is Richard?????/ I bet he was 100lbs lighter and had more HAIR!
My regards to whoever hauled the camera around; I have a feeling it was some tens of pounds.
