1. I'm not convinced your oiler's working - would have expected to see the 'winding' handle creeping round. 2. Six speed - well-impressed. 3 travelling speeds and 3 neutrals ! ;) LOL
Now THATS a beautiful thing an accurate steam truck going to the pub. That's even more british than that Nimrod crew trying to plug a cabin pressure loss with a teapot.
Greetings from the U.S., Samuel...totally amazed at your lorry...a true work of mechanical Marvel !! I can totally appreciate the amount of work you have there, and what a thrill it must be to go down the lane...being followed by a '27 Ford T model. In short.... I 💘 Love it !! Please feel free to post more videos....you made MY day! Thanks ✌☺
Thank you so much. It means alot to see that people are enjoying the video. You are right indeed. A 1927 Ford model t. That car is ace. There's a video of it on the channel if you haven't already seen it. I need opinions on what to do with the channel. I'm nit sure what videos to make next. We have a collection of model Ts and vintage tractors that would be good. But I want to know what the people want to see.
In reply to your reply?!? A nice overview of your collection would be nice...I'm sure whatever you decide would be nice, after seeing the content of your first video. We Americans crave this kind of stuff, and I look forward to it. Thanks....✌☺
such great machines and your putting co2 back in the air which our plants need great to see strange how thats such a great car you have following but we did not see much of it please show us
Well done! congratulation, sure - it can run 60kmh because of good engine, but oven must be more powerfull, and i think you need termoisolation, because steam instantly(0.05second or even faster) loose its power on contact with cold wall... with same volume - my recomendation of super fuel: you need to make a mixture of wood sawdust and potassium nitrate, as a binder - you can use sugar syrup(without water - you can boil sugar and acid(winegar or citric acid) and a little of water - to melt - so you can get syrup with glass like sugar glue - slowly became solid(without acid- sugar will be cristalic after water boils out of sypup) - a little bit of water as posible, the sawdust should not be very small - not dust but pea-sized, most likely, so that combustion proceeds at a moderate pace, like gunpowder it will not burn without sulfur in any way - even with sugar, get a “chipboard” burning in a few seconds even under water ...
sodium nitrate will work good too, i think, but not ammonium nitrate - it will not act as oxidizer definately ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PE8lcdNh3g4.html this russian constructor made steam car, fast - because low weight your weight more - but it means strongerness- result can be faster - with enough of fuel - 20kwt... 2liters of conventional moto-petroleum burning in one hour or so - you can try it simple methode for test
I nearly commented on not having a number plate. Then I saw that you've got one. I suppose you've got road tax and insurance all sorted in case the old bill stops you?
@@samuelbygrave I am glad we are in the world of imperial measurements here! Is that a legit number plate? Or as plausible as the 'Manchester to Liverpool daily service?' For comedy value I think it needs a Tesla battery in the boot with the electric motor so you can take on all-comers at the lights and benefit from re-gen braking. That said, I would prefer that 1930's car of yours rather than a Tesla for a daily driver, that vehicle is cool and a lot less cramped than the Foden. Utterly charming vehicle though, I so want one!
@@pdsnpsnldlqnop3330 if you mean the small one on the front, I believe it's real. We have a miniature traction engine gala every year at the miniature railway I volunteer at and they match the yellow one on the back
@@pdsnpsnldlqnop3330 yes the number plate is real, it has to be registered, taxed, and insured like every other road vehicle, the Manchester Liverpool is just for decoration as its a scale model of the full size thing. Over all its just abit of fun. Thank you so much for your comments!
It's in the van because it's an expensive price of kit. Also its to you can go to a show with a caravan on the back in one trip. It could be transported on a trailer but that would then mean 2 trips to the show to get all the kit there. You can't have it in steam on while it's being transported as you need someone tending to it constantly
Good question, here in the UK you can go online and buy them, that are around £15,000 or you can buy a kit for a cheaper price and build it yourself. If you are in the UK some websites include Berry broke steam and livesteammodels. A good start is to type in "4inch foden steam waggon for sale" in Google and see what pops up. I hope that helped.
Even full size models were often rated at 10 HP or less. Fortunately it's torque that matters. The torque 'curve' of a steam engine is basically a flat line with full torque available from just over tickover all the way to the 'red line' on the pressure gauge. Interesting factoid: The first person to drive a road steam engine to the pub (Richard Trevithick) had 'one too many' and the boiler blew up! That was as early as 1801. At least one full size working model has since been 'reconstructed'.
4 inch is the scale, as this is a working scale replica of the full sizer steam lorry. So for example, every foot on the full size lorry is 4 Inches on the scale model
So free that you can't drive a steam lorry or traction engine down the street...so free you have HOAs...so free if you're ill you can choose death or bankruptcy, so free you can choose to elect one crooked dogcatcher or another crooked dogcatcher? fuck that for "freedom"
