Hello everyone,
Over the weekend Lawrie was invited to take part in the Long Shop's 40th Anniversary event by crewing the resident Steam Locomotive Sirapite, and by bringing his Dennis RS130 to join the festivities - will the notoriously unreliable fire engine make it?
If you want to find out more about the Long Shop, have a look at their website here: www.longshopmuseum.co.uk/
A video featuring:
Lawrie - Presenter, excited to get back on Sirapite,
Tom - Fireman/Chauffeur, excited for a day on the shovel,
Ben - Cameraman/cleaner, excited for a day on the footplate,
A video edited by Lawrie

You should take your old fire engine back to its original fire station. Be good to see.

@sawyerawr5783 6 дней назад

Once more there is proof for the phrase, "There's a prototype for everything." Including the two stretches of snap-together track we've all had at one point, running a lone engine back and forth.

@SteamboatWilley 6 дней назад

This looks like a very interesting museum. I want to visit now.

@Arkay315 6 дней назад

Sirapite is certainly a beautiful little engine, at this rate you'll soon have driven all the preserved railway traction engines in the English isles. First sir Vincent, now Serapite, what next? Blue circle?

Hats off to whoever filmed that shot at 13:46, that was a beautiful bit of video!

Omg it's the real Jupiter - 999, now that's how a uk fire engine should look in the show. Also, I saw Fireman Sam plush figure in the windscreen. I'm a huge fan of Fireman Sam and Thomas the Tank Engine, What a terrific video.

It amuses me that Garrett used a locomotive made by one of their main competitors.

How did I not know about these places when I was in Suffolk (late 1980s). I had to make do with the occasional steam fairs at the Stomarket Museum and they were mainly steam harvesters, bailers and tractors.

@user-tf1qi8cf4r 5 дней назад

This is pretty much exactly the same as Aveling & Porter 'Sir Vincent' from the Fifield Private Railway. Hope to see some more of that in the future, and great video!

@bentullett6068 4 дня назад

Those loco's were so interesting being pretty much a traction engine. I would be good to see a coffee pot loco on the channel next and I believe Beamish have a narrow gauge one and a few others have them still in operational use.

@laserhawk64 5 дней назад

Serapite... what a bloody great clanking thing, and I _absolutely_ love it :D Haven't we seen it on the channel before, though, in a way that wasn't mentioned in the video? I get the impression that Serapite travels, under certain circumstances... it accompanied that really, really big locomotive on its celebratory return to the UK, as I recall, the one where it was a private railway and you weren't allowed to tell us whose or where. I remember the other locomotive that day being just like Serapite, essentially a railway-going traction engine, and I remember commenting on that, after that video as well. I can't imagine there're terribly many put together like that...

@bwilesuk 5 дней назад

@sambrown6426 5 дней назад

That Stanley Steamer actually uses something known as a steam generator, rather than a conventional boiler. It's essentially a coil of pipe with a liquid/gaseous fuel burner at the bottom, with the flame going right up the middle of the coil. Cold feedwater goes in at the bottom, steam comes out at the top. They're very efficient and compact for things like steam cars, but they don't scale particularly well, so they weren't really used in locomotives apart from the various oddities of the Bell Locomotive Works (Which are genuinely quite fascinating to research). And that thing on the front of the steamer that looks like a radiator? That's actually a condenser to recycle the steam back into water for the steam generator. They're really cool, especially Jay Leno's 1925 Doble E-20, which apparently did 132.5 miles an hour back in 1925 when it was new, which is frankly just absurd.

@stuartkimhart6480 5 дней назад

Sorry mate you're totally incorrect. It's a fire tube boiler, has 600ish 1/2 tubes and is wire wrapped for additional strength. How do I know? It's my car and I restored it! #stanley21088

@sambrown6426 5 дней назад

@@stuartkimhart6480 Oh, my bad. Thanks for that, I really hate spreading misinformation. I guess I got my Dobles and Stanleys mixed up. Also, great job with that restoration, the old girl looks gorgeous, and I'd love to drive her someday, though that'll probably never happen! I'd also love to see some videos on her, but you obviously don't have to if you don't want to.

@nickm9123 5 дней назад

It's a shame that little engine only has that little stretch of track. She NEEDS more trackage.

@bwilesuk 5 дней назад

Not least to reassure me I wasn't going to run out of track!

@ajlawrence8983 4 дня назад

It’s Sirapite NOT Siraphite! Did you not consider wrapping some rag around the water gauges to keep them clean when you lit the boiler. What do you mean nothing else to do, you could always get some Brasso and a rag and have a polish up, does that explain why the visiting engines are all smart and shiny and the museum engines are filthy. Would have been nice to hear a few words about the Clayton, mighty fine engine that deserves a mention.

@lmm 4 дня назад

I'm sure they'd love for you to volunteer and help out

@ajlawrence8983 4 дня назад

Well that a ridiculous thing to say! There is an awful lot of pride with engine owners and volunteers and we always do our best to make the engines shine as we are only custodians and the old girls deserve to be looked after. We don’t mind videos but do your homework as you can’t change history
