I model 0 gauge trains, and like to build loco kitsxand paint them. My particular interest is British Railways Eastern Region steam at the end of the 1950s
@@Ringer_SamuelOwenLiam He wants to ring at St Ann's. Maye we will ring a quarter peal one day and hopefully you will also be in it, I would love that.
@RingerThomas they are a fabulous 10 and not so great 12 The tenor is lovely, probably not something I would turn in due to my age, I l like ringing he 8th of the 12.
@@joanneamin2815 there is now a bigger bell in the UK, it is the 2012 Olympic bell at Stratford, however it is simply hung as an outdoor exhibit and can't be rung so really can't be counted.
@@maidstone10 They sound better as a 10 than a 12 partly because they are on two levels. St Mary's has an exact copy of Canterbury with the extra treble and flat 6 and they sound fantastic party because of the tower acoustics. My dad hung them in 1986. I want to ring at Maidstone,now there is a beautiful 10.
@@tulyar1043 I have so much stuff to build and finish. It is funny that many people who ring bells are also interested in model railways and trains in general.
@@RingerThomas you better come to Aus for a tower grab St Peters Adelaide, a 2 ton Taylor 8 the second heaviest but way better than Sherbourne. St Mary's in Sydney are a great 12 with a light 10. And then we have Pizza.
@mylxinjuneprologo1253 it is not for a Black5, this is a Thompson B1, but regardless I like it and I think it is fair to say that the Black 5 was one of the most amazing mixed traffic locos ever and whilst the Thompson B1 was not as prolific they did build 410 of them so it was also very successful and probably the Bla k 5 would have been the inspiration for Thompson.
@giubarabino23 thankyou, I also find Italian bells interesting as they have full circle ring and call changes, although not as advanced as English change ringing the fact is it is a cultural phenomena which only happens in Italy.
Hello Steve, can you please read the Quran or listen to it in English and become Muslim your old you seem kind and I just came to check on you after you commented on Liam’s reaction to the athan. I SERIOUSLY WOULD LOOK TO MEET YOU IF NOT IN THIS LIFE IN HEAVEN BECAUSE PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO ARE SINCERE WITH THERE SELF AND PEOPLE AND SOUL THE PROPHET PBUH WOULD BE VERY HAPPY . From your brother Abdullah 🤍
I don't believe it has but it has been rung manually a few times and there is a video on youtube showing it being rung, although not one of my videos. I think it's about justifying the cost to replace the motor.
@@Steven_Rowe Very nice to hear that it has been rung manually! Must take a lot of strength (I am assuming multiple people) to get it swinging. Hopefully everything is fixed soon so it can be heard more often, glorious bell to say the least!
He used to get in from the tower where the 12 are and walk over to the other tower but now you get in via a security entrance and walk along high above the nave of the Cathedral.
@@Steven_Rowe Sorry to hear that. Have you had a check up by your GP? Maybe if you started to, say, checking the rolling stock on your layout and do any repairs,tweaking needed this might help bring your mojo back.
@tulyar1043 i had a bone marrow transplant 26 years ago, the chemo really changes you, it's like it aged you 10 years but also damages other parts of you, in my case lungs. I need to get back into the A4, even a few bits a day will help.
It is Billy Clarke, do you know Billy? He lived in Sydney but now resides in the UK. Billy is a good ringer and a it of a heavy bell man too. A very humble and decent man if ever there was one. I know who used in ring at Clerkenwell a lot. One of my favourite 8s in London G&J of course.
@@RingerThomas I always enjoyed ringing with Billy, the other thing I love about Billy is he is not a member of the ringing elite who look down upon lesser ringers such as myself. One thing I have never been is a fantastic ringer I just like lovely bells and well struck ringing. The Perrins family here in Aus are cracking ringers
@Steven_Rowe Do you know James White? He is in charge of Imperial College, Windsor Castle, and St Margarets Westminster. Great ringer and he also called my first peal.
@@RingerThomas I know the name. I never rung at Windsor but have been up the tower with my dad in the 1960s as dad was a bell hanger for Whitechapel. When it comes to great ringers I know Brian Bladon, I have know him all my life , I can remember sitting on his shoulders watching the Lord Mayor show in 1956. Brian has rung in the vicinity of 5000 peals.
Algorithms has nothing to do with anything. The bell weighs 16ton 14cwt 2 quarters and 19lbs So in pounds that is 37483lbs. Metric would be 17002.003KG
@tulyar1043 Yes, I'm surprised you didn't watch my video. It's in the play list which I have linked below ru-vid.com/group/PLAptIJZrV7qZ5KWIMNSSQy7Lf9sfo5jvp&si=kvfCgIYB23C2nPel
One small that needs adding Steve, a safety chain to the smoke box door to stop it opening too wide and fouling or striking something. I saw this at Minehead forty years ago, the fireman took the chain off the door to shovel ash out, the smokebox door swung right out, as this happened the driver moved the loco forward, the door struck the front of the loco shed and bent the hinges very badly. The engine was out of service for nearly a week and this caused trains to be cancelled.
