  Great video! A lovely old engine! I love the beam rocking up and down, the big wheel turning and the little gizmo with the spheres spinning around! I just love simple, robust and elegant machines like this. Machines that are fairly easy to maintain and which will last for a few hundred years with some maintenance.

  Don't see any STEAM. Where's the STEAM ?.

• 
  @philquineАй бұрын

  It's a popular misconception that steam engines have steam shooting out from every orifice, but in reality these engines are very efficient and only a faint whisp of steam will be seen and this is indeed visible on some of the engines in the video. Also take into account they are in a warm environment, so even this faint whisp is hard to see. It is only the exhaust that would really show the steam, but this is piped away and condensed in some cases, so is not visible here. Also take into account they are running at slower speeds than they would in their working life. Think of it like a car engine, the only fumes you see are coming from the exhaust. You can see the steam being vented from the boiler at the start of the film, which is provided by a modern boiler. I hope this makes sense and reassures you?

  My comment: <<Apparently none are running "balls out.">> Your reply: <<Erm….that’s one way of putting it 🤣🤣🤣>> I thought that comment might be appreciated. As you are no doubt aware, the expression running something "balls out" (top speed) comes exactly from the regulator on a steam engine! As the engine reaches top speed, the balls are flung out and that reduces the steam and limits the engine speed.

  @philquine2 ай бұрын

  They are actually running on steam that day. Steam is visible on several of the engines if you look carefully. The exhaust steam is vented off by pipe, so there isn’t going a lot of steam being evident. They use a modern steam boiler and you can see the steam being vented from this at the start of the video. Don’t forget it is in a warm building, so you are not going to see clouds of steam. There was also plenty of water dripping from them. In fact one of the staff had to go up on the Diamond Rope Works Engine with a mop and bucket as the drip tray was overflowing. Plus I doubt the museum isn’t going to lie to the public, that would only harm their spotless reputation. Thanks for watching and comments. 👍

  Wonderful museum, great photography. This should be a much longer video, with more time spent on each engine. At 1:54 I wonder where the idea to use square cut gears? They were probably puzzled why the teeth tended to wear into an involute profile...! Clever to show the unused boilers, with the modern boiler out of sight. Thanks for posting! I'm past the age where I could travel to the UK, so I appreciate videos like this.

  I did consider adding captions, but to get all the engines in to a 15 minute video some are only on for a few seconds so it would have been a bit distracting to have captions. Not to mention the time it would take adding them, when I have lots of household chores to do 🤣 As the engines are clearly numbered I thought it was best to list them in the details. Thanks for watching. 👍

  Thank you for taking the time and trouble to create this fascinating video. I do not plan to visit Boston, ever again, so you have brought a wonderful cultural resource into my home. Prior comments complained about music, but when I listened, I heard the chorus of the featured machinery, so I guess you listened and updated your video taking into consideration the comments. That is being very thoughtful and to be commended. Now I can share this video with a Swiss steam engine enthusiast without any apologies. Edit: I wrote the above thinking the museum was in Boston, Mass. Turns out it is in the U.K.

  @@Brian-1948 I see what you are saying, but I'm still sceptical. I've had some experience with steam locomotives and have never seen one which was completely steam tight, even when fresh out of the maintenance shop. Gland packings always leak just a little - otherwise they are over tightened cause excessive wear on the rods.

  No, they are actually running on steam. Engines like this are often steam free, as the steam is vented away from the engine, not like railway engines that are noisy and sprout steam from every orifice. You can’t really see it here, but there was water dripping from a few of them. They are powered from a modern steam boiler. Hence the steam being vented that is seen at the start of the video. You can actually see steam coming from No. 21 around 5:39 mins in.

• 
  @randombloke8802Ай бұрын

  On steam days, all the small engines you see running are powered by steam. However the large engines run on the quarter hour at full speed on steam and then revert back to slow speed on electric drive for demonstration purposes. This is because the gas boiler cannot supply enough steam to run all the large ones all the time. Please visit and any of the volunteers will gladly show you in detail.

  Large and small all lovingly restored, some better condition than when they were working. I think of the work building them all, the Iron castings would have had a wooden pattern made to mould in sand. The molten Iron poured, often with waisters when the pour didn't work out. The machines pre computer age to finish the parts. Thanks for sharing your visit.
