I thought it would be good to push myself in to a longer road run, and as Bloxham is only 15 miles from home I decided it was a challenge I wanted to take on.
I've also been asked about which rallies I'm taking to Tilly to, so at the moment the plan is -
Rona Rally - 8th-9th July
West Oxon Steam 14th-16th July
Gloucestershire Vintage Extravaganza 4th -6th August
Fairford 19th-20th August
May add to this list, but that's it for now.
If you have ideas about other things you'd like to see featured in a video then please do let me know in the comments.

Great video & great weather ... Hoping to pick my first 3" engine up next week although I won't be doing this with her 😂

@SteamOTR 4 месяца назад

Good luck with the collection. It's great to get on to a rally, but best to start applying ASAP.

@richyg2851 Год назад

Absolutely brilliant mate! What a great way to get to the rally! I bet you really enjoyed that! I'd call that a success. 👍😁

@SteamOTR Год назад

Thanks 👍 It felt like I earned a beer that night!

@johnmullen1955 Год назад

Excellent video I really enjoyed it . Well filmed interesting and drama.Nice to see somebody game enough to try a long road run.

@SteamOTR Год назад

Glad you enjoyed it. Just need to fix the tyre now!

@heartland96a Год назад

Slow and steady works in lots of setting but , out on the road , slow and big are better than slow and small .lol Glad you made it , thinking you will get home OK.

@SteamOTR Год назад

Got home fine, thank you 👍 Tyre now fixed and ready for another rally this weekend. Standby for a new video early next week!

Well for starters I’m jealous of your gorgeous house, let alone the engine!

Ha. Cheers. Been here for 20 years now.

Love watching your RU-vid channel really great footage and what a beautiful Garrett traction engine

Thank you very much! Really glad you enjoy it.

Excellent stuff, true 'adventure' steaming; I'm sure your local ATS could find you a remould 😉

@SteamOTR Год назад

Did try the on-site tyre guy. He didn't have any stock :-)

@QuarrySteam Год назад

I bet that was fun! I helped with Simon’s big Fowler at Lydiard park, the run to and from was fantastic! You’ve got to be careful with Mr Nuttall and whistles, he seems to be somewhat cursed!😜🤣

Sorry to hear about your problems Dan ,good to see you at the rally Dave

@SteamOTR Год назад

Not really too many problems - got to expect a few. All apart from the tyre are sorted already, so all good.

Awesome video, glad I found this channel! Morgan, get those guys to wipe their lenses on their phone before they start recording.

Glad you like the channel. I'll give Morgan his instructions :-)

It certainly felt like it! Really enjoyed it though.

Yeah, that's an on-going project!

@solarusthelonghaulerrailfa3226 Год назад

Interesting what they would allow on the road compared to over here 🇺🇸

@SteamOTR Год назад

Can't keep me off the road 😂

@MmmHuggles 3 месяца назад

You might be surprised at what is allowed, but you will have to usually jump through a lot of hoops and such to get it on the road. Don't expect much help from the DMV either.

@aperson9950 3 месяца назад

I am extremely new to anything steam related, what I wanted to ask is, did you make this yourselves or did you buy it somewhere?

@SteamOTR 3 месяца назад

Yeah, I bought it. Have a look back through the videos, it's all there. I knew nothing either!

@antonyburlison1775 Год назад

Yet another top video who's making ya new tyre

@SteamOTR Год назад

We can refit the tyre. Hopefully before Rona in a couple of weeks.

@caldaq219 Год назад

how much water coal and steam engine oil did the 15 mile trip take to do please?

@SteamOTR Год назад

I used about a bag of coal - 25kgs. No idea how much oil, but it's very little. Certainly less than 100ml.

@caldaq219 Год назад

@@SteamOTR Thank you how much water do you think you used during the trip? Also how long does it take to get the boiler up to pressure from cold?

@SteamOTR Год назад

Not entirely sure on water as I didn't measure it, but probably 150 litres. She take about an hour or so to get to pressure from cold.

@caldaq219 Год назад

@@SteamOTR thank you again, I haven't watched all your videos yet but every one I have seen so far I have enjoyed.

@BigLMedia Год назад

you should get your tires vulcanised onto the wheel they wont come off then

@SteamOTR Год назад

Yeah, been looking at that. Only trouble is that I'll need to repaint the wheels and get them relined. Best way to go undoubtedly, but also expensive.
