Running My Showman's Engine - In The Garden. Friday the 16th of July 2021 was a very fine day, a good time I think to play with my Traction Engine, so it's out of the Workshop for me to get some fresh air and spend time fighting off Horse Flies.

I don't understand why someone would leave nasty comments about your engine. She's beautiful!

@robertpearson8798 2 года назад

There’s always one or two of those folks…..

The anonymity of the Internet brings out the worst in sad people with unfulfilled lives, and from my experience as a RU-vid Creator, there are a lot of them . . . . . some of the comments I receive are unbelievable }:-|||

A true mastepiece. I hope you signed it. In Canada we have horseflies. Here's a trick from an expert: put some sticky tape sticky side out on the back of a hat. The little buggers gravitate the the back of your head and get stuck.

@robertmclaughlin9637 2 года назад

people who leave nasty comments are just pissed that they can't have one of these beautiful engines, they are simple and lavish at the same time. The love of steam that Keith has fills me with AWE with his dedication and love for these engines. I have watched many of your videos and will watch many more Steam Master with the same respect and awe as the first. If you haven't seen it watch the how and why video, enough said.

@robertpearson8798 2 года назад

I just showed this to my Wife. She appreciates you naming it after her, she’s not at all steamed.

20% Picaridin saved me from the horse flies this season. It makes it so they don't know you are there - you basically become a rock to them.

@tommytelecasteralaska7998 2 года назад

Keith, That is a beautiful engine I love the dynamo on the front.

@donaldvincent Год назад

Nasty Comments about this engine???? A-Holes!!! Many of us can only aspire to have an engine so nice. I for one must do with a Mamod Road Roller and a Wilesco Traction Engine. I own a large house, but we are a family of 5. This would take up too much room, not to mention money.

@robertweldon7909 2 года назад

Keith; This is one of your more fascinating models. A bit on the large size and its original purpose (the electric generator, and the just pure fun of running it, shows how much you like the thing. Take good care of it. You have done a lot of TLC to make it so nice. ;-)

@thehoodedclaw9837 2 года назад

Always a pleasure to see the engine running, a beautiful thing indeed!

@henderson2394 2 года назад

That's a wonderful engine, i would love to see it fully lit up and driving around.

Great video, really appreciate your commentary. Must prod dad into steaming his 3” Burrell.

@AustNRail 2 года назад

Funny as an Australian I have never associated flys with England, even during my visit to my ancestral homeland didn’t see a single fly. If you ever visit Australia and in particular Lake Mungo, NSW, you will know about flys, as your back will be black with the little buggers. On another note, loved and always have the Showman’s engine. Going to start building one now.

Horse flies here in South Carolina literally tear a chunk out of you if they can. I'm just glad they're not here year- 'round. One landed on my buddy to the left here. He's still freaked out about it.

@1978garfield 2 года назад

Thanks for sharing this. I had never heard of showman's engines before. I did some reading. Fascinating history. I just don't think we had them in US. I love steam tractors (or road locomotives if you prefer). My grandparents and my father worked the fairs for years. They had a couple of old Ford trucks. Most everything else was hand made. I was reminded of them while reading about the various cranes and other equipment that operators would make for their engines. Thanks for the education.

Yes it's a good old film. I have a small Fowler Showman's engine which is similar to the one in the film, although they used a few engines as the 'Iron Maiden" in the film.

Lovely engine Keith, keep up the good work. Regarding flying pests, you could try Skin so Soft by Avon. Not sold as a repellent, but allegedly used by Royal Marines for that purpose. Works pretty well and smells good too

@ghl3488 2 года назад

Really nice video so thanks very much Keith. Lovely looking engine and great to see it in steam. Is there a sweeter sound than a steam engine just sitting there ticking over. Whenever I have the luck to see one in person I always have the impression that they are living thing.

@demonic477 2 года назад

I never will understand the attraction for trolls to making negative comments on videos do they get some kind of satisfaction out of it . If you don't like something go watch another video about something you do enjoy. all it does is show there low intelligence I tend to feel sorry for someone with nothing better to do then piss and moan about someone's hobby. I think this is a very beautiful engine and I was hoping you would take it out for the summer but at the very least you did get it out and steam it before winter.

@roterakaten636 2 года назад

Hey Keith Appleton, flys are drawn to the color white and yellow also. So if you get a trap put white or yellow paper into it. It makes a large difference.

@stevejeffryes5086 2 года назад

Lake flies love steam oil, I'm sure some horse fly's do too. It's the 10% animal fat in the steam oil that they love. Lake flies get stuck to my Swift hydrostatic lubricator on my steam boat.

Just a thought. I would not mind watching you at a swap meet picking through various steam operated machines. Could be good info.

@jaylittleton1 2 года назад

I can not understand anyone wanting to make a negative comment about this engine. We do enjoy when you do shots of yourself standing by it, really brings home the size of it. Do you know the weight of the unit?

@keithappleton 2 года назад

Haters will always hate, no matter what the video is about. I don't know how heavy it is but I wouldn't like to run over my foot with it.

@fallingwater 2 года назад

Took me until I saw you on it to figure out this is a scale model and not a full-size one.

ever built an engine from scratch?

@quintrankid8045 2 года назад

It's nice looking. I wonder if you happen to know how much power it could produce if you used it to run a generator?

@keithappleton 2 года назад

This one produces 110 volts at 7.0 amps

@jamespowell7302 2 года назад

For those of you who are electrically challenged, that's around 1 HP(e), (770w, where 746w= 1 HP).

@Brad-sk4ks 2 года назад

Nice one Keith thanks for that, might be a silly question but if you could afford it would it be better to run a model with distilled water.

Yes I suppose so . . . . a bit impractical though isn't it?

@mareky1234 2 года назад

G’day from Oz. I’m not saying that it’s the same (as I simply don’t know) but however, this fantastic model reminds me of a well loved movie. “The Iron Maiden”, as it’s a very similar style, at least as far as memory serves. I liked that movie ever since I saw it as a kid, in fact I saw that and the Titfield Thunderbolt at about the same time, and it’s what got me interested in steam in the first place. Even though both movies had glaringly obvious logic problems. But they are both still fun and enjoyable movies regardless. Do I would like to know just how similar they are, if at all.

@keithappleton 2 года назад

I watched "Titfield Thunderbolt" movie when I was a kid too, bit only recently saw "The Iron Maiden". I just love the combination of Yellow Wheels and the LMS Crimson Lake boiler.

@davidhayward5207 2 года назад

Does the engine actually move any where, or does it just get rolled in and out of the workshop ?

@keithappleton 2 года назад

What a strange comment . . . . It is fully road legal and I have driven it on the road but I was unable to video it and drive it at the same time. There will be a video of it running on the road when I find someone to make the video. I have actually shown me driving it in the garden in a previous video.

@autka_me 2 года назад

@Tocsin-Bang 2 года назад

With most of your shots its pretty much impossible to say whether the engine is full-size or not!

@keithappleton 2 года назад

No, it is a copper boiler and it doesn't rust .......

@TheHatMusic 2 года назад

Horse flies are just awful things. They are largely sight hunters, and they are drawn to large dark shapes so the canopy on the engine is likely what's drawing them in from a distance. The things will hunt you too... I've been hassled by the same one for ages, constantly swatting it away and failing to hit it. They're also irritatingly sturdy. You need to hit the thing to the ground and stand on it to finish them off. I've seen them pick themselves up, straighten their wings and start flying after me again following a swat. 'Orrible buggers are horse flies! Of course, they might just like the engine, in which case while I still dislike them intensely, I do approve of their taste in engines.
