Join us as we test and prep out vintage crane for transportation. Short video this week but something a bit different. let me know what you think! Cheers
Them ol fellas certainly earned their wages working these machines probably 10 or 12 hours a day. Nice to see you keeping our heratige alive keep up the good work 👍
Nice to see the steam crane working Norman👍 can you imagine back in the day when the boss man said this was what you were going to use and it’ll pick 1.5t up!?! In an age manpower would still be dominant 🤯😁
Great bit of engineering, thanks for sharing. Didn’t realise you guys owned that Aveling Tractor - she’s a beat! If you feel inclined next time you’re taking her for a run down the pub stick the camera on board, be great to see her on the road from a drivers eye…. Keep the steam related vids coming, enjoy South Cerney!
@@simonwhite9258 cheers Simon. The little aveling is a newish addition, we have a video of a little trip earlier this year on here. She gets on alright down the road. 👍
Are You Alice? Is this Wonderland? I thoght You was gonna use an air compressor but no- along comes a traction engine to give some proper steam! I love this shit, the little crane is awsome, I wish You and the boiler well, Kind Regards
What nice bit of mechanical wizardry you have there. Steam cranes of any size are a bit of a rarity here in my part of the world. I assume at one point in it's life it had a house built over it. Must have been a hot job in the summer.
@@warrenjones744 I recon it would have took a while to master the operation. From what I’ve seen of the old Isles catalogues only the larger cranes had houses. Likey would have got wet in the winter and burnt in the summer. More wet than burn here in the uk
