Freds engineering skills are even better than his steeplejack ones, people forget he would rather restore something than destroy something.

@Lones555 Год назад

The kid at the start was dressed up in traditional garb for the Victorian era as it was an event for Fred's last demolition. One of the best parts of this series is when Fred's second wife divorced him she refused to let him see the kids ("She went away from here saying, "I don't want your antiques, I don't want your house, I don't want any money," [...] But what she did do was take my lads away from me and I can't forgive her for that.") and in this series he gets to finally bond with them as they agree to join him on this farewell tour. I'm sure knowing you are going to die soon is tough but he was able to bow out his way with the people he loved.

I’ve never seen this, and I bloody love Fred Dibnah! So happy for him that he got to do this before he died. Fred represents the old school working class Northern man…like my Dad. It makes me really nostalgic for my childhood home. Can’t wait for more episodes.

@blackbob3358 Год назад

That nostalgia is sign of getting old, IN MY CASE. i would'nt presume your age, flower. I'm of the same stock as the Fred, a bit later. Never the less, i remember the artisans coming round the houses, knife sharpeners, carpet cleaners, rat catchers too etc.. We were skint but happy.

@bluesrocker91 Год назад

For me Fred Dibnah always brings back memories of my grandad... He was from Barrow-in-Furness, so had a similar sort of dialect. He spent 8 years at sea with the merchant navy as a marine engineer, looking after the ship's steam engine and boiler. After he died in 1999 I found his old engineering books stashed away in a cupboard, full of these beautiful diagrams of every intricate part of the ship's engine, with all his handwritten notes and calculations in the margin on boiler pressures and all sorts of stuff. They really are a relic of a lost era, as well as a direct connection to my grandad, and I've treasured them ever since.

Fred’s Traction Engine was auctioned in 2010 and sold for £240,000. With Auction fees the total Paid was £264,000. I used to work in the building where the engine was made originally (Aveling and Porter in Kent) after it was turned into the Headquarters of the local council.

@chrisdzisiak7540 2 месяца назад

Great to know the engines home yard. Here in N American our “steamers “ are quite different and most will not know the difference. In America they were mostly agricultural units and many powered steam sawmills. Where as in Britain they were the original heavy truck trucks.They delivered heavy cargo around the major cities and industrial areas.

I'll have you know that the Top hat is, and has been for at least 200 years, the standard uniform of the "Honker", or "Warning Scally", and is always worn by the youngest member of the crew in the UK. A traction engine was generally used as a mobile engine to power, or pull other machinery, rather than pull or tow itself, it as in modern agriculture. For example, a plough would be pulled across a field by a long chain wound in by the engine, or a threshing machine would be connected to it by a long belt. The Traction engine would remain static at the side of the field.

There aren't enough "like" buttons for you guys. Thanks for taking me back to late 70's with the Fred Dibnah TV series. Despite the variety of programs available today, we were better entertained in those days with only 3 or 4 channels. Here's to you Fred, we miss you, and those days.

@TobyLerone-yn3rr Год назад

You will absolutely love the original series Fred. It follows not only his work but his family and him building his home

@fegman Год назад

Fred Dibnah was from my hometown of Bolton, Lancashire. The man was an absolute legend, and a complete eccentric, stuck in the Victorian days - yet was completely approachable, and talkative, always ready to talk about how things worked and always dressed in his overalls covered in oil, cig hanging out of his mouth, a pint in his hand and the friendliest smile on his face. He built a coal mine in his back-garden, and used to drive round the town centre on his Traction Steam Engine on a Sunday at 6mph. It's the perfect excuse, 'I'm sorry I'm late, I'm stuck in traffic behind Fred Dibnah;' The world is a sadder place without him, and we even have a statue of him in Bolton as we all loved him and his lovely nonsense so much. RIP Fred, I hope you are blowing stuff up in heaven mate :)

We were pissed of at traveling at 8 mph until we realized it was Fred we were honking the horn and shouting GO ON FRED we had a smile on our faces for day's after. Egremont is famous for the CRAB APPLE FAYRE with the gurning championship where people pull ugly faces to win it's been going for 753 years if you 2 enter the gurning I think you've got what it takes to win it 👍

@jncg2311 2 месяца назад

You have to watch the whole series, each of them in fact to gain a fuller insight to the man. He was a fabulous engineer and an artist really. What wasn't entirely evident in this episode is that this isn't his only engine, he had previously restored a steam roller and driven it around the country at about 4mph, the traction engine was an upgrade for him, it went up to 12mph or so. He also ran his line shaft workshop machines from a stationary steam engine in the workshop. This was what he blamed some of the 27 years on, every night after work he had to go home, light a fire in the boiler and make steam before he could do any forging or machining. What a man.

@wildwine6400 Год назад

That scrapyard he is at looks like Doyle's scrapyard in Westhoughton, on the outskirts of Bolton. They have a rusted out old train there on display.

You fellas will be pleased to know that there is a steam apprentice club which is the junior section of the National Traction Engine Trust - it was founded in 1979. Obviously the chief aim of the club is to encourage and support young people who have an interest in steam engines. Close to me is the annual Rempstone Steam Rally and country Show - this year it will be held over the weekend on the 8th-9th of July. You can see a fair few of these young lads and lasses getting their hands dirty at the show. Hopefully the old skills will continue to be passed down the generations...

It coul pull a plough, harrow, seed drill, harvester, and then power the threshing machine to seperate wheat from chaff. Then power the conveyer belt lift into the granary! And tow all the kit from farm to farm! He bought it from a scap yard and fully restored it. LEGEND!

As the film tells, he restored the Traction engine by hand and made many of the parts..& had the knowledge to improvise & create & overcome problems all the way through. I became interested way back about 25 yrs ago after helping a pal restore a smaller version- A 'Foden Timber Tractor' and so I went to a few Steam Tractor Fairs, and actually saw Fred in the flesh, a humble charming bloke. I did not get to meet him as he was constantly surrounded with fans, so I just stood back & smiled at the admiration & love the crowd had for him. He was quite simply just as you see him here, one of Mother natures gems.

I saw his old Land Rover at a steam fair a few years ago, I know the engine is still around but not been able to see it myself yet. There's another channel I watch of a bike builder who is a big Dibnah fan, he has a vid from a couple of years ago when he got to see his old house and what's left of the workshop etc. It's a bit sad to see how empty it all looked, especially when you know how it was all cleared out and just sold off, but I believe the new owner was trying to do something with the place that would hopefully bring back some of that old stuff as some sort of museum.

That was one of the things with steam engines, that they needed constant maintenance, and new parts making to fix them, all custom and by hand. When British Rail switched from steam to diesel-electric locomotives, dozens of different kinds of jobs disappeared, because the new technology was so much simpler to maintain. Electric engines have vastly fewer moving parts, so that many fewer points of failure, and so many fewer skills required.

This documentary was filmed whilst he was seriously ill but as was Freds nature he cracked on and made a wonderful documentary.
