Takes me back to my childhood and the steam rallies my family used to go to here in Australia. Sadly long gone. Those machines were a true work of art... truly amazing. Thank you for posting this!
Thankyou so much for posting this. I have recently lost my father from cancer & this bring back so many happy memories for me. He used to drive a Foden steam waggon at rallies, mostly in the East Midlands and the Sat eve road run used to be a highlight of the weekend with me, my mother & my brother sat in deckchairs in the back with my father & his mate in the cab steering & firing ( this was before all the health & safety malarky of today). The only thing missing was the smell of the hot steam & oil.
The fact that this superb display of fantastic machinery is still maintained in such pristine glory suggests that there may be some hope for our monstrous species. Kudos and salutations to the individuals who care for them and preserve them. I would dearly love to be able to see this live.
There are good rallies here in Cornwall all the time, with classic cars and sometimes military vehicles. I used to go with my family as my uncle always brought his steam engine "the Chough" to show off, always fun.
1:43 Can someone explain what sound that is and hows its made? I keep trying to describe it to google and they dont have a clue! seems its something not covered on the internet haha
SPLENDIDO......Only in the UK are such things done. Perfect vehicles kept new ... then ......... the small scale replicas drive me crazy ..... the cost of a tractor and a truck how much it can be .....
Lol @ 0:15 blow the horn and blind yourself! Lol. Play at 2x speed they look like they're going 10 MPH! At 4:05 the first steam roller, @ 3:12 is that a clock on the nose of the tractor? Is it 2:15 pm?
Those clock hand looking things are part of what's called the Smokebox Dart. They are the handles used to open, and lock shut the smokebox door. One of them you hold on to, the other you turn. Some engines used a wheel with a handle instead.

What a beautiful show you have on the other side of the pond from me. This will be on my bucket list for sure. Good day too. VF

There's just a little thing about watching these little things roll along

Its a steam siren, a lot of traction engines have them as well as whistles, ships also have them but generally sound a lot deeper
Traction Engines: like steam locomotives, but they can go anywhere! 😊 @0:13 The blue one is my favorite! 😍 @0:37 @0:59 @1:11 @2:12

kool
in USA & Canada we gotta use a orange reflective triangle to indicate a slow moving vehicle
all this is super radical!
The UK enthusiasts have to have "slow moving vehicle" on the back of their living vans.
4:26 a legends legacy lives on
Is it wierd that I want one? How much, gotta be 100k?
A showmans engine sold recently for £900,000, which is about $1.2m
1:42 that whistle is hilarious it made me laugh
LoL my god so funny
It's a siren
Красота то какая! Подкинул дровишек, чух чух и поехал! Не быстро, зато дешево, а сейчас быстро и дорого!
Sunnyboy looking good 👌🏼💪🏼

For what purpose were these built?
Working and hauling and lighting.

When gas is too expensive so you use coal or wood for your car.
