being sponsored by a heritage railway is a life goal
Visiting said railway allows us to keep supporting Lawrie 🙂
@@FoxfieldRailwayOfficial shame i cant easilly get to you would love to visit
@@FoxfieldRailwayOfficialunfortunately it's a bit of a trek from Worcester 😢. Now if Lawrie was being sponsored by the SVR, we're going to their Autumn Diesel Bash this Friday...
@alanclarke4646 which I am
I am local!
Though its still annoying to get to despite being right around the corner.
That's a tidy little loco! If I ever have more money than sense (not that I have much of either), I'd have a 2ft gauge line running around the garden which I don't own, with one of those trundling round it. Nice to dream....
It’s 18”
@@derbyshiretrainboy235 yup, my mistake
Most people: sponsored by mobile """"""""Games"""""""" (slot machines) or scams.
LMM: sponsored by a hertage railroad, to get them more tourists and helping their goal of preserving trains which is shared by both parties.
I try my best to only take sponsors who are relevant to the audience - being sponsored by Foxfield is awesome
A wonderful little narrow gauge diesel.
Great video, Lawrie 👍
6:22 There's the beginnings of a potential model railway.
Ooo boy, a Lawrie Goes Loco video! And it's another little Ruston!!
Something about those twee, itty-bitty little Rustons makes me smile. Just smol lil fellas!
Yea❤
I love this nice, small loco. Really awesome .
Reminds me of the Egger Bahn model train we had in my youth.
Stunning little Ruston. I love the stainless steel exhaust it has.
The SGLR has really come on! I remember visiting it as a child, at least 15 but maybe as much as 20 years ago at this point. They have much more track now!
@@Mickulty we have extended all the way to Middleton now
From the sound, the engine is the same configuration as a 2 cylinder John Deere, with a 180 degree crank. It fires "Bang Bang Nothing Nothing". Most larger John Deeres had 2 cylinders horizontal fore and aft, with the heads near the front of the tractor. There were 2 2-cylinder verticals, the L and M. Coincidentally, the M engine was about 20 Hp.
Lovely beast!
A word on operating diesel engines. I was a truck driver, and the thing about those industrial diesels is they have a narrow operating RPM range, in the trucks I was driving it was from 1500 to 2000. The only time the engine was ever put under a load below 1500 was taking off from a stop, and that was done gently. The thing diesels like the least is being lugged, it sounds kind of cool but it's terrible for them, and older diesels are even less tolerant of it. I don't know anything about old British train engines but I'd be willing to bet they don't like to lug either. It's not like a petrol engine which revs to a high RPM but you wouldn't keep it there, if it revs to 1200 RPM that's where it's happy, that's where you can work it without hurting it, and you can leave it there all day.
Awww, you almost want to pick it up and give it a cuddle! It just needs top-hinged windows to make it perfect. I did like the carriage with those roll-down curtains to give the occupants some protection from inclement weather too. Great video to round my day off - thank you.
Lawrie the Ruston salesman
You have an infectious passion for these little tiny engines. Don't stop.
Thanks for visiting are railway. Sorry I missed you that day.
Tastefully done it it suits the role perfectly. What wonderful engineering!
Thaaaat's just lovely though, isnt it? I'm not sure why, but it's giving me vibes of a sort of... Porta-cabin on wheels ❤
So tempting to hang a roll in the cab!
For those in/close to The Netherlands:
This weekend(5 & 6th of October) the SSN(Stoom Stichting Nederland) in Rotterdam will not only open their doors but will run a service for 2 days again. You can visit them and step aboard to drive from Rotterdam to Gouda(Yes, the world famous cheese is named after that city, it's where it came from). You'll be able to see some beautiful German locomotives, the SSN's own 01 1075 and 23 023 and a gracious guest from VSM(Veluwsche Stoomtrein Maatschapij), the 023 076. Impressive, beautiful, elegant: i can tell from experience, they are a sight to behold. I am not in any way shape or form paid to say this, just want to spread the news. Planning on going myself, should be lovely! Warm greetings from The Netherlands! Would be awesome to bump into you there Lawrie, although i can understand that your agenda is filled to the brim already. :)
Thank You Lawrie, what a fantastic little engine indeed! Great review and all! Happy Railroading Sir
Awesome little locomotive, i do wonder if the Turkish Sauna Cab Problem can be solved by having the front and rear window removable, so you can take those out and enjoy a sweet, sweet Ruston exhaust fume scented cool breeze. I know it's a heritage loco but seeing the other changes it has had that should not be sacrilegious.
great vlog on channel thanks for the cool vlogs you do thanks lee
Gloddfa Ganol. A slate mining museum if I remember correctly. Went underground there when it first opened in the late 70s. The pronunciatuon of the Welsh dd is too difficult for most English most probably. But you wouldn't go far wrong if you pronounced dd as a rapid 'the' sound. And the f as a vee sound. ;-) Nice loco, nice youtube! Having learned to drive with diesel tractor engines. I would now love to learn to drive something like a Ruston or a tram in my retirement.
I thought the most famous Rustons were Midlander and Rusty! Cool!
But were they listed in the Ian Allen ABCs? We still have visitors who were train spotters in their youth and missed bagging ZM32 then and want to tick it off in their books now! 😆
would be funny to try to fit Mark or Brett into something tiny like this
*A week later the engine mysteriously disappears and Lawrie mysteriously has 4 in his fleet* 😉🤣
Reminds me of those little Lister locos. Well, when I say little, I mean 2' gauge. (I might make a 10 1/4" gauge one by the way)
Good Moring
Lawrie's Mechanical Marvels
Thermo siphon cooling its called. Many early tractors and others were the same.
Old 1940's-1950's Farmall Cubs have thermosiphon.
Very nice little loco. What was causing the snapping sound as you were driving? It seemed quite regular but I couldn't figure out what it was.
It's the pressure release valve on the air system
@@lmm thanks for the reply :) hadn't thought of that
@@lmm It sounds like a hit-and-miss engine
You dont have your own, Lawrie. You have three of your own 😂
Where will Lawrie stop... I see him owning the biggest collection of Ruston in the world - maybe he end up with all of them!
6:16 seen wren but not in ages pet is at york NRM tucket away aside 2 full size steam locos
Love your videos man
12:00 Supermarine Spitfire.
Every 5 seconds the loco just sneeze
What is the tiny steam engine behind the ruston at 9:03?
That is the aforementioned Wren
Finally again!
Why does she sound like she has a hit-and-miss engine hidden under the hood somewhere? EDIT: He said it's the overpressure relief valve for the air system in a reply to someone else's very similar comment
At startup it sounds like the two pistons of that inline twin 4-stroke are running alternatingly, so one is at TDC when the other is as BDC. That would make the engine vibrate intensly and have uneven power strokes. Or is it in fact a Parallel twin where one Piston is at TDC finishing compression where the other is at TDC finishing exhaust (Like a Fiat 500)?
A well presented and informative video. With good historical and technical content. What is the history of the coach please?
Manrider out of Bevercotes colliery. Notts. The railway has two.
Horwich mentioned! \o/
I l ive in Horwich,lancashire
am a driver for there
I have been on here
Heheheh liquid dinosaur 🦕🦖
Can you do a video on midlander
Now it's fixed, yes
Nice lil ting aint it ... Hi algorithm :)
first off it's volts not electricals and second instead of reaching under for the reverser just reach over the throttle for the reverser
Next you'll be saying it's "oil" and not liquid dinosaur

Nothing is funnier than listening to someone exclaim the non-existent virtues of a completely mundane piece of equipment.

UP 4014? Yeah, that’s an impressive engineering and manufacturing feat.
This Ruston? An impressive LACK of any engineering and manufacturing skill displayed.
Hey, good things come in small packages, at the very least that semi-auto gearbox is pretty nifty
@@DownEastSaw ZM32 is an amazing engine. It’s the pride of are fleet at steeple grange. It’s a brilliant runner so I don’t know where your getting your knowledge from but it’s brilliant. Just cause it’s small doesn’t mean it’s bad.
