Used to see one of these,on a regular basis,as a lad,delivering coal in Walsall! I’m 78 now,so,around 1950 ish. Great to see some have survived to this day.
My late father worked on these vehicles in the 30s. He was a regional manager with one of Scotland's major hauliers (Muttar Howie). He said they kept on a few steam wagons right till he left, because they would go up hills that the IC vehicles then just wouldn't look at (even in reverse.)

Kerosene burns too hot for steam usage. It would destroy the temper on the boiler plates! That said, I am curious if any of these had been converted to be oil-fired.
I will convert mine to burn fuel oil for the boiler so I will not have to shovel a lot and I can go out by myself, without anybody else. I will have a steamy good time!

Steam is just so different so simple and kind of magic driving that truck was really hard work not like todays trucks specially on the roads they had back then.
I can remember years ago, there was a business near Halifax in West Yorkshire that had at least 3 of these parked up in their yard. This is back in the 60’s when vehicles were a lot smaller, so these seemed huge at the time.

I was lucky to see SS United States, SS Canberra, RMS Queen Elizabeth, RMS Queen Mary, LaFrance, Fairland, Fairwind, SS Neu Amsterdam, RMS Queen Elizabeth 2, SS Capetown Castle and many big crude carriers.

Sandra Weindel You're not aware how much of an issue was replenishing the water supply on steam locomotives? Range was mostly limited by water before coal. Presumably it would be a similar story with a road-going vehicle.
Unsafe Velocities I think she meant that her miles per coal lump was funnier. It was funny enough for me to reply. Old steam engines did need lots of coaling stations and water towers to keep running. I remember an experimental Buick (GM) that ran on powdered coal, but it kept on fouling out the spark plugs.
Buddy Clem Oh, yeah, I realised what was meant. I just thought the significance of what you said had been missed. Because a mainline express locomotive usually has between 8 and 10 tons of coal (some more, some less) in the tender. That was, I believe, enough make long distance runs between stopping stations. However, in Britain such a locomotive would have around 5000 gallons of water. In Australia you can roughly double that figure, sometimes nearly triple, but for the same about of coal. Line-side water tanks must have been further apart, and that was the problem. Probably took on coal at more stops in Australia than Britain anyway, but the ratio is the key. I think I remember reading about that Buick too.
Great lvog John, love these, makes a change from engineering jobs. Many thanks for sharing over the year and may I wish you and Debs all the best for 2024 and more success. Stay well.
Don't see many top loading boilers. I bet driving that around town gets plenty of looks! Thanks for taking us on the ride! I think I would probably try to modify it for a better forced draft system to make it burn cleaner an d so it wouldn't blow back on ya when the throttle is closed.
bcbloc02 Is that what happened @8:37? doubleboost I certainly enjoyed the ride along John, thanks for taking us around on the food run. I noticed everyone on the round-about gave heed when you gents steamed into town, LOL! BTW, do all 4 tires up front steer that lorry? Beautiful Beast, laughed the whole video like a wee child! Aloha...Chuck
bcbloc02 I wonder if any of the latter models, or even other lorries had a coal feeding system. Even a gravity fed funnel with a spring loaded flapper valve would be a nice upgrade and may allow for a one man operation. I can see it in my mind's eye, but not knowing the finer points of using coal may be leaving my design wanting... Thanks for the reply Brian, and it's a shame neither of you can make it to Stan's Summer Bash, it would be nice to truly "make your acquaintance" with a firm handshake and even a treat for Bailey, if they're allowed.
The big locomotives used augers with steam jets controlled by the fireman to blow the coal around the grates to keep the fire even, I have never seen a setup like that on a little engine but I see no reason it couldn't have been done. Baily has never ridden further than Kansas I am sure he would enjoy Ca! yall are gonna have a blast.
Bailey + Swimming pool = big time fun! I will keep you in mind while we talk shop, is there anything you'd like me to look for specifically during the tool trading portion of the party? I can be your eyes for that if you like...Aloha, Chuckles.

Because a mainline express locomotive usually has between 8 and 10 tons of coal (some more, some less) in the tender. That was, I believe, enough make long distance runs between stopping stations.
However, in Britain such a locomotive would have around 5000 gallons of water. In Australia you can roughly double that figure, sometimes nearly triple, but for the same about of coal. Line-side water tanks must have been further apart, and that was the problem. Probably took on coal at more stops in Australia than Britain anyway, but the ratio is the key.
I think I remember reading about that Buick too.
Great stuff! It helps you understand the old expression "Pour the coals to it."
Great lvog John, love these, makes a change from engineering jobs. Many thanks for sharing over the year and may I wish you and Debs all the best for 2024 and more success. Stay well.
imagine driving a small car and you come across this at a roundabout lol
That's a bizarre truck. I think it's lovely.
such a beautiful sound
Молодцы техника супер,а нанатехнология это всего лишь временно, а наугле это вечно молодцы👍👍👍👍👍
Imagine driving that truck all day,, Holy shit that's work !!
Wonderful!! I had no idea they went so fast.
Don't see many top loading boilers. I bet driving that around town gets plenty of looks! Thanks for taking us on the ride! I think I would probably try to modify it for a better forced draft system to make it burn cleaner an d so it wouldn't blow back on ya when the throttle is closed.
bcbloc02 Is that what happened @8:37? doubleboost I certainly enjoyed the ride along John, thanks for taking us around on the food run. I noticed everyone on the round-about gave heed when you gents steamed into town, LOL! BTW, do all 4 tires up front steer that lorry? Beautiful Beast, laughed the whole video like a wee child!
Aloha...Chuck
Yep steamers use steam jets into the exhaust to pull draft, when the throttle valve is closed the draft drops.
bcbloc02 I wonder if any of the latter models, or even other lorries had a coal feeding system. Even a gravity fed funnel with a spring loaded flapper valve would be a nice upgrade and may allow for a one man operation. I can see it in my mind's eye, but not knowing the finer points of using coal may be leaving my design wanting...
Thanks for the reply Brian, and it's a shame neither of you can make it to Stan's Summer Bash, it would be nice to truly "make your acquaintance" with a firm handshake and even a treat for Bailey, if they're allowed.
The big locomotives used augers with steam jets controlled by the fireman to blow the coal around the grates to keep the fire even, I have never seen a setup like that on a little engine but I see no reason it couldn't have been done. Baily has never ridden further than Kansas I am sure he would enjoy Ca! yall are gonna have a blast.
Bailey + Swimming pool = big time fun! I will keep you in mind while we talk shop, is there anything you'd like me to look for specifically during the tool trading portion of the party? I can be your eyes for that if you like...Aloha, Chuckles.
Bravos homens ! Aqui de São Bernardo do Campo - Brasil agradecemos sua competência !
Полёт по шоссе на драконе! Настоящем драконе. На нём даже прокатиться - не для слабонервных, что на малых, что на больших. Я представляю ужас, тех кто на "встречке"!
Can you please post a video with walk around, interior showing the steam guage, regulator, brake, reverser etc. TIA.
I love how everyone just stops at that roundabout when they see you pull up lol
Can't say I blame them haha
Паровоз на колесах... Оригинально. А процесс прогревания авто завораживает.
This makes me smile very much!
HAhahahaha, overtaking in a steam engine made my day @2:17
