Hopefully this was converted to an all solar panel engine. With some wind driven turbines on top to help power it. Or else the sea urchin Greta Thumpberger will say HOW DARE YOU.

TO START THAT HOLY SHIIIT RUNNING,. YOU HAVE TO BOIL YOUR TAIL OFF

So...not just turning a key, then.

Silence is golden, but in this video giving us a short description what's happening would have gone a long way to more appreciate the effort you put in

You mean fiering up an steam engine, lighting up is something different.

Этот видео почти на моём возросте 😯👍

Sir how that 10 wheels turns in curved track it's amazing great engineering it's all geometry

Australia?

a

How much air goes in the wheels?

Great detail

That is not a steam engine it is a dock train

Great stuff. Thanks mate :-)

Great sounds engine of EMD G12

You can tell they love it 😊

Wow alot to it lol

so there must have been a loop to use at Rotorua at the time? the train didn't need the locos in top-and-tail config like the Farewell express 3 years later

You are not explaining what you are doing!!!

Gr8 video love it😃

The editing was done very well.

BT's always work better under pressure ;)

now i know how to turn on a steam engine locomotive

and so another ANOTHER video where people apparently can't talk in order to describe what's being done and why

Steam engines are a pain in the ass. Any really intricate machine tasked with heavy work requires procedures, concentration and experience. The B-36 strategic bomber that flew just after the end of the Second World War had ten engines each with its own complicated starting and operational procedures. From the time the crew of ten boarded the aircraft to the time it was cleared for take off was often thirty to forty minutes plus another forty minutes to reach cruising altitude where the mission really began. The B-36 could fly half way around the world and return to base. That is a distance of about 25,000 miles.

Steam is more interesting and even magical when I don't know exactly how it can hurl a million pound steam engine and a hundred loaded box along no a steel track at up to a hundred miles an hour day after day for fifty years. There is the magic.

Hai ! Friends I go back to my teen age in 1965 iam school boy daily travel by this train really I enjoy four years with my friends "oh"what a sweet day I thanks to indian railways and treir staff thankyou from tamilnadu sathya.

A very interesting video. I worked as a stationary operating engineer for over twenty years for a large hospital. I ran a battery of four 150 ton Scotch marine boilers. All of the boilers throttling was automated. Just about the only thing I had to do was to make sure the boiler feed water had the correct chemicals and that the deaerator was functioning properly. I had to check boiler operation once an hour, but these guys had their work cut out for them. Very labor intensive compared to what I had to do with managing the boiler plant.

Loved the video. Thanks so much for sharing with us.

is that a detroit diesel engine

👍Great video. The beast is ready. Thank you, loved it.

You "played" well , a fine video ! Thanks

love the Vanderbilt style tender (what we call them here in the US) Good ol' PN dynamo whine, and the NZ 5 chime whistle (GREAT sounding as are the South African 3 and 5 chimes). Glad to see you backed 1/4 turn off of the turret. That way if someone jumps up there, there is some slack to let them know it is already open instead of them trying to force it open. There are enough video's with commentaries. I just like hearing the sounds of the engine being brought to live instead of someone talking over it or worse yet, using a computer generated voice to narrate it. Great job!

Fascinating - Thanks...! Gordon

Looking at this again, what was on the shovel askindeling? Some kind of cloth?

At 4:35 you have steam,but don't have fire....What the f......

Guess there would be no traffic jams if operating a car required so much knowledge and effort.

Doc! The red log's about to BLOOOWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!

Steam the only way to gp

Is the train going to King's Cross Station?

What was that loop antenna looking thing he put in the stack? Was that water?

I had got to known that it takes around 12 hours to start a stone cold steam loco. Is that right?

The same start up process is used to get a woman in the 'mood'...lol.

Interesting. Coal fired loco with an oil fired smoke box. Was this converted from oil to coal burning?

Verbal or written descriptions needed...

love it and good

Steam engineer's lives matter.

Old steam engines are amazing! I'm stymied at the amount of lubricants that these beasts use and without that life blood very bad things can happen. I can only imagine what would have happened if a bearing seized up on one of the main wheel bearings where the piston arm is converted to power.

We see you pass through Shannon most Saturdays. Fantastic sight.
