Great pictures! You visited a lot of steam engines this year and made videos for them. Thanks 🙂 (I could still put one of the small steam engines in my collection 😁)
Thanks!! I wish J Evans stood for James but sadly it doesn’t, it’s Joseph Evans. A winding engine is a steam engine (or often an electric motor) which is built to haul goods. So in the video I show 4,, the Weatherhill winding engine was built to haul wagons of coal and goods up a railway incline via ropes, engines like this were very common in the early days of the railways when the locomotive wasn’t developed enough. The other kind of winding engine (like F Pit, Bestwood & Astley Green) were built to haul coal & miners up and down the pit shaft from a mine underground. Hope this helps!

Another great video James.
I noticed a J Evans Steam Pump and I knew that you had built it.
Oh by the way what is a winding engine?
