The vehicle SRV 1 at 8.42. This was Suspension Research Vehicle 1, (there was also a SRV2 with tracks). It was built for Mobility Branch of the Military Vehicle and Engineering Establishment at Chobham in the mid 70s. It was built purely to research vehicle handling resulting from varying suspension parameters. I can't remember it all now, but it was hydro-gas suspension, had 2 wheel or 4 wheel drive, it had some 30 inches of suspension vertical travel ( it could sit down!), it was 2 wheel or 4 wheel steer, you could alter roll stiffness and roll stiffness ratios, etc, etc! I worked on it as a technician, with others. I helped fit a lot of its instrumentation and carried out some of its earliest basic trials. Good days, great fun!
Great video, I love learning about all this type of things. I am from Puerto Rico, always lived in the island, was very surprised to find the Culebra tanks in this video. Awesome!!
At 12:45, I have been in the sumpter dredge, it’s a cool, it’s huge and hard to tell from the video. I like the sumpter valley railroad that runs through Sumpter though.
There are so many gold dredges that are sitting at mine sites in the Yukon still waiting to be fired back up, but unfortunately many dredges never came back to life
Wrong. Very wrong. So very wrong. The Hunley to which you refer was actually the second tactical submarine built by the Confederacy during the Civil War to bear that name. The first went down with all hands during a training exercise and was presumed lost. The second successfully attacked its target and promptly sank immediately afterward leaving no survivors. Neither can really be called successful. However, neither was actually the first tactical submarine ever built, let alone used in combat. Nearly a century earlier, during the Revolutionary War, the Turtle was designed, built & deployed against a British fleet that was anchored in harbor. It attacked an enemy ship but failed to destroy it. However, the fear incited by a surprise attack from an invisible enemy lead the fleet commander to disobey orders and leave the harbor. The sole operator survived the skirmish and lived through the war, making it the first successful submarine in history. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turtle_(submersible)
The red tanker is not a diamond T. It is a dodge streamliner. Yes they are very rare. There are two down the street from my house in the BC vintage truck museum. Check out their website
The second v Class train is on display as well the only train left i n the river is believed to be an AB class but with many preserved it is likely to stay.
I've never heard of an Ab being dumped in the Oreti river, or could it be a derailment? There are still more locos at the Branxholme dump site, including another Rogers K class.
5:13 it’s kind of funny that this Russian vehicle has American made Bridgestone tires on it i’m starting to think the reason why they abandoned it was because America found out about it at the time. Believe it or not those are the same kind of Bridgestone tires that the Clark 675 loader used.
I think they mean it was built in 1885, and was sunk in the river almost 100 years ago, they say that after WWI it was considered worthless junk and scrap was so low
Vehicles that are "found" in someones barn, that are still owned by someone, are not abandoned. A plane at a "airplane museum" is not abandoned. Trains purposely sunk for artificial dam barriers are not damn abandoned. A ship that drifted away during a storm and took years for financial obligation to be worked out to disassemble and dispose of the ship, is not abandoned. I tried to "abandon" a car that blew it's engine on a road trip since I needed to continue on in our friends vehicle. I'm abandoning this channel....but is it really abandoned??
how is 1895 almost 100 years ago? sorry ya lost my interest there... this is 2020... thats well over 100 years ago, 125 to be exact... must have been edited on a friday lmao

Man your videos are awesome 👌

Wow! The Tatra 600 is a gem of a find, great upload 👍
The m17 you mention in the yard in pieces has a full version just under the marker for the museum. Fun fact.
The Maz 7904 is now my favorite truck!!!!
Mine too self!!!
the texco truck is on display in bill richardson transport world in invercargill in new zealand
The diamond t tanker I saw at the Henry Ford museum
There are so many gold dredges that are sitting at mine sites in the Yukon still waiting to be fired back up, but unfortunately many dredges never came back to life
Probably fortunate that those dredges are not fired up as they destroyed the areas they dredged.
The narrator is mispronouncing Czechoslovakia at the 3:30 mark. The narrator is saying "Czech(lo)slovakia" instead of Czech(o)slovakia.
Good video
This is very impormative.
I like turtles
@@FriendlyFuckFiresOfFury 🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢
Actually if you want to get technical the funds to remove the second train was there they just couldn't carry on because of Covid-19.
This is great
I like turtles
Always salt your water before boiling pasta
Fun topic, well done.
Cool and interesting stuff. But you didn't mention the Buran from the abandoned Russian shuttle program. It only flew once and still exists today.
it was crushed when its hangar colapsed i think in 2011?
This was good, narration great to
If you look off on the right hand side of the screen at 1:26 you can see the USS Yorktown
So technically the first sub did fully submerge in to the sea...
Technically, yes. It was an unplanned submersion

Culebra - 14:15
You show three different trucks for the texaco tanker
Larry Hullinger and a hot wheels
Larry. there were many Texaco tanker streamliners. they were real craftsmanship when built !
The red tanker is not a diamond T. It is a dodge streamliner. Yes they are very rare. There are two down the street from my house in the BC vintage truck museum. Check out their website
There was a diamond and a dodge tanker shown in the same clip.
First submarine was built in the 17th century by Cornelius Drebbel
Nice
Dont know where you got your information from but the Hunley was found in 1995 by Clive Cussler Not in 1970 You got that one way wrong
pretty sure the one on display is a replica.
Right on! You are correct. I didn't think anyone else would catch that mistake👍 Clive's books are great, bummer he is gone.
@@peterwill9660 I've read everything he wrote Always waiting for the next Dirk Pitt story Isaac Bell was another favorite story line
You forgot to tell the listeners about the roll CLIVE CUSTLER played in the hunnles recovery.
Two days. Only forty-one comments. TH-cam is officially Broken
60 tons on each axle with a 6 axle vehicle weighing 120 tons....🤔
Dang great places in history
the train is a 2-6-2.
1:54 What year was this video made?
I've seen the HL Hunley
The second v Class train is on display as well the only train left i n the river is believed to be an AB class but with many preserved it is likely to stay.

I saw the hunly a a museum

Hi
What was that about the Soviet M - 17 altitude record of 71000'?? That doesn't sound right
"Almost 100 years ago in 1885" 🤔
Almost... try 135 years
🙈🤣😅
yeah i was like wtf did i miss
Shonash ravine
I think they mean it was built in 1885, and was sunk in the river almost 100 years ago, they say that after WWI it was considered worthless junk and scrap was so low
Ha I've been to the Sumpter dredge pretty damn sweet. Way bigger than a guy thinks that's for sure
My weiner is smaller than anyone would think.... Waaaay smaller
7:46 is that a fucking vautour?!??? Wtf is it doing there????
If it failed to submerge. Then it wasn't the first successful Sub.
Maybe a semi-sub?
Profi, When Permission Granted! 👻🏃🦋
Lived some of ur videos! 👻🤗👍💯
I lived in charleston sc before
What is this music called?
not land rover or range rover, but discovery's too
so a discovery isnt a land rover then okay
This is the last one of its kind and its currently being restored now slowey...
"Shows a video of people walking around it fully restored"
Yes, I visited the truck museum in Invercargill a decade ago and it was probably my favorite truck there. I love the art deco styling!
@@73Datsun180B you sure you visited it a decade ago?
Oh wow im one of the first to comment only 7 have commented
