4. I think what I like the best are the steam engines turning over at about 1 rpm. Just so smooth... [EDIT: 1 RPS] [EDIT2: That and the barley-twist support pillars.]
   (Way too late to be commenting.)
5. Sorry if off topic, but can someone inform me what the music is at around the 2:30 part?? I was born in America and don't have any culture at all....I'm guessing it's a German composer....but I like it a lot...
6. Love it, Thanks John
7. Do both of the Tarmac waggons belong to Richard?
8. I'm speechless! Amazing works of metal art.Wow!
9. I live in the US and we used to have a large steam tractor exhibition every year at our county fair...until one blew up about 15yrs ago, killing 5 and injuring dozens. The blast sprayed hot water and iron shrapnel as far as 100 yards away. That was the end of that. With the strict UK health and safety regulations, I am surprised that you are even allowed to operate these steam vehicles among such large crowds of people. Many viewers probably don't realize that with the high pressures involved, these machines can explode like giant bombs if there is a mechanical failure or human error.
10. Very nice to see the care that people take to preserve these icons of a forgone era. Thanks for sharing.
11. You do not have to be a steam buff but a lover of well crafted machinery is enough---keep them coming John...E
12. There are a few old steam engines LIEING in paddocks around where I live, even a Ruston oil engine in the rest area around here on the highway they must weigh 20 tonnes so would be almost impossible to move ,they will rust way in PEACE. Thanks for great videos John I watch them all glad Debs feeling better and your dad too take care watch your weight with all that nice grub.cheers Keith in OZZI.
13. Beautiful machinery.
14. GREAT VIDEO !!
    WHAT'S THE BABY "TARMAC" BESIDE DADDY"TARMAC" IS IT SEAM , NEWER , WEAKER ??
15. Hi John, are those smaller traction engines scale model of larger machines custom built by their owners? Nice to see these steam rallies, we don't have these over here in the States. Sometimes you might see stationary engines for farm use but nothing like you have over there.
16. Real feast John. :) The gorgeous waft of steam being raised. Some superb scale models.
    Have been in love with steam for 71 years.
17. John,
    Live steam . . . you gotta love it! Thanks for the video!

18. Hi John, I always wondered how these things ever got around with rubber on the wheels that look to provide nearly zero traction. certainly they would never have worked in wet fields. can you give us a video sometime with some background?
19. 2:50 I didn't know I needed a steam engine but now I do.
