The lack of health and safety equipment around the big saw was quite refreshing to see. When something is obviously dangerous, people tend to pay more attention to what they are doing.
@@GryphLane Then they would likely learn and not do it again. Or natural selection would work as planned. Would you stroll up to a roaring lion whilst not paying attention? How about sticking your arm down its neck - essentially what you're suggesting someone would do to this machine? Its loud, quite obviously dangerous and has big sharp things clearly on view so has much in common with this machine. Should we ban cliff edges? How about large bodies of water if you can't swim? I'm all for keeping things safe where its reasonable to do so but if you look at that and care so little that you put your arm in its way then I'm sorry but there is only one person who can reasonably be blamed.
Accidents happen and Health and Safety helps reduce that. It's lunacy to suggest we just let dangerous things happen. Not many people deal with cliff edges for a living and those that do are thankfully well protected.
@@HubNut I fully agree when its an accident. However I think sticking your arm in that thing would require more than a little lack of common sense. There were working practices around them when they were actually being used - such as pushing the log with another log so if it slipped it was only going to hit the wood. Similar things to this - though usually not steam powered - are still in use all over the world and in most places have no health and safety aspect even considered. If it was being used in a primary school I agree but in context you're much more likely to gather damage from the fumes you were standing in. "lunacy" to suggest we just let dangerous things happen? I would say its lunacy to imagine we could live in a world where they don't. Thats like saying we're all most likely (by a massive margin) to die from cardiovascular disease or cancer but we should ban 2cv's because they don't have any kind of crash protection. Would it make 2cv's safer? Of course. Would it be reasonable? You can do all the h+s you like up but if the new nuclear plant at Hinckley point C goes bump it won't make much difference what part of Wales you're in. What if a tree falls on you in high winds? Should we ban trees or wind? What if you choke on food? Should we ban food? Honestly with some of the things you get up to its a bit rich to hear you talk dangerous things down. The two biggest killers in the world are cardiovascular disease and cancer and you spend a decent amount of time with oily hands in garages breathing in old exhausts. Thats pretty hypocritical.
Brilliant video I really enjoyed that a lot, some wonderful trucks i remember from my childhood like the Ford Cargo's Bedford's and wonderful wonderful steam engines as well.
Thankyou for sharing this Mr HubNut.. once being local to that area we used to do that festival every year and camping! Happy memories and good to see the festival is going strong
Splendid stuff, traction engines were always a thing at shows up north when I was a kid and they're still special to me now. ~I could smell that parade :D
Lovely show. Fantastic! My Grand parents were in the showman and travelling show business and had travelling shows, trucks and stream engines. Great video !
It's amazing the number of commercials that have survived considering the hard life most had and the hours and money in the restoration of them as many would have been total wrecks when found.
What a fantastic show. Thank you so much for your coverage of this event and the amazing machines that were in it. Wish I could have been there firsthand
8:05would be a wartime Bedford OW, or wartime design anyway. It has the Scammell automatic coupling to enable it to pick up and dtop off trailers quickly, like the Mechanical Horse
That "telephone: 181" sign on one of the hoardings got a good chuckle out of me. How small phone networks were back then! The belt-driven saw is another fascinating example, it's a lot slower than many might expect. Water-wheel driven ones were even slower too, but not by much. Modern (ie in the last century) hydraulic and electric saws of similar size have really spoiled us for speed!
A good variety there and no mistake. I think my favourite was the AEC Matador with the lump of concrete strapped on the fifth wheel, presumably to aid traction
There are plenty of interesting steam cars in the UK. Stanleys for example, my favorite Model 735B from 1922 its in the UK! Also you can built your own steam car from a kit from Model Traktion World! Its a copy from an original Stanley Locomobile from 1900. I whish I had the money, time and workshop to built such a car. You see such replica chuffing on the playground behind one of the traktion engines!
@@HubNutI do remember very well when you arrived with Elly on a hill above Überlingen. To see my homeland in a HubNut video was quite... weird. See you soon - Martin
My dad did his lorry driver license test in one of those Saurer lorrys in switzerland in the 1970s, he says that changing a wheel was parte of the test.
I live within East Sussex, which is where the Hellingly Festival of Transport show is based. I went to last years show and it was truly wonderful to see all the old cars, trucks and buses being paraded and being able to walkaround them. Unfortunately not able to go to this years show, due to other events that have occurred for me. But would like to thank @Hubnut for making good videos of the Festival of Transport at Hellingly.
Interesting what you say about the Sentinel being hard work. My late Grandfather was a second man on a Garrett steam wagon as a young man and his last job every day was to shovel several cwt of coal into the bunker ready for the next day. BTW need more power for a steep hill with a heavy load?..just tie down the safety valve!!!
Great to see this variety on the channel. I think the algorithm struggles with variety - at least that's my excuse for the low view counts on many of my videos 😂. Personally, I'm as fascinated by my 90's T4s as I am 1920s road steam. Maybe I'm odd! Great video, thank you.
at 8;05 the scammel Bedford , tis a Bedford truck with the patient scammell trailer coupling as used by brs and post office normally on a scammell scrab 3 wheel urban tractor
I had the most scary moment in any bigger vehicle in a Ford Cargo back in the 90s. A front wheel puncture (right side) in a underwater tunnel, on the way down. And it was in a left curve. Not fun at all.
It makes a fleeting appearance in the previous video I think, just as I looked at a Land Rover chassis. I was shattered at that point and only noticed it in the edit suite.
The lack of health and safety equipment around the big saw was quite refreshing to see. When something is obviously dangerous, people tend to pay more attention to what they are doing.
Until they don't, and they lose their arm...

Love the sound of old diesel trucks. Really enjoyed this. Thanks Ian
That series 3 patination - Coooorrrrrrrr !!! Wanty want want
Brilliant video I really enjoyed that a lot, some wonderful trucks i remember from my childhood like the Ford Cargo's Bedford's and wonderful wonderful steam engines as well.
There is no replacement for the sound a big healthy diesel can make. Thank you, Hubnut!
I was once overtaken by a Sentinal mid 1990's outside Uxbridge on a dual carriageway i was doing 55 and it rolled past me well above 60mph
Impressive!
That was different, thanks! Nice to see youngsters on the steam engines.
I love the way the Traction Engines leave ruts in the ground. It shows you how heavy they are!
Thankyou for sharing this Mr HubNut.. once being local to that area we used to do that festival every year and camping!
Happy memories and good to see the festival is going strong
Fantastic. Saw four of the traction engines outside the Kings Head in Hailsham on Saturday evening.
The old lorries were lovely i remember many from my childhood. loved the Anglia vanas the first car i drove was aa Ford Anglia.
Nice show.
Really enjoyed all of this video, especially the commercials.
I wish we had smellovision for this! 😀
You gotta love a bit of steam ❤
Splendid stuff, traction engines were always a thing at shows up north when I was a kid and they're still special to me now. ~I could smell that parade :D
Lovely show. Fantastic! My Grand parents were in the showman and travelling show business and had travelling shows, trucks and stream engines. Great video !
I love seeing all manner of steam vehicles. We need to get Lawrie from LMM to get you a drive on a steam traction engine that would be great
I second that !
It's amazing the number of commercials that have survived considering the hard life most had and the hours and money in the restoration of them as many would have been total wrecks when found.
What a fantastic show. Thank you so much for your coverage of this event and the amazing machines that were in it.

Absaloutly fantastic video Ian ❤👍what a fantastic show those trucks were amazing especially the mack brilliant
Brilliant video Ian, fantastic retro/futuristic airport fire truck - gorgeous 😍😍
8:05would be a wartime Bedford OW, or wartime design anyway. It has the Scammell automatic coupling to enable it to pick up and dtop off trailers quickly, like the Mechanical Horse
Nice to see the old regulars there once again
Wonderful stuff yet again, thank you once again. Many memories rekindled 👌
Awesome show!
That Atkinson!
Love what your bringing us wish I was there. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
8:20 Saurer is Swiss, yes. Produced their own range of diesel engines over quite a long period
That "telephone: 181" sign on one of the hoardings got a good chuckle out of me. How small phone networks were back then!

Great content. Thanks Ian.
Many of these vehicles i ran through London's ULEZ compliance checker...guess what all ULEZ compliant😅
Lady Mary the Foden at 8.55 that was chuffing out claggy reek...yup ULEZ Compliant.
Someone tell Greta.
Fabulous show, off to Arley Hall on Sunday to see Tasty Classics Panhard.
Best video to date love it thanks 👍
Stunningly beautiful
A good variety there and no mistake. I think my favourite was the AEC Matador with the lump of concrete strapped on the fifth wheel, presumably to aid traction
A truly amazing show, so many fantastic vehicles. I drove a Cargo years ago, six speed I think it was.
Looked like the air was as thick as a county durham village in mid winter there, so much smoke from all those coal fired beasts... :P
I learned to drive in an HA Viva van that my Dad got from work.
HubNut should review a steam car one time...
There are plenty of interesting steam cars in the UK. Stanleys for example, my favorite Model 735B from 1922 its in the UK! Also you can built your own steam car from a kit from Model Traktion World!

Can't beat big old mechanical monsters!
Cracking presentation.
Another great video. I used to go to these sort of events but can’t any longer. This was a great substitute. Almost like being there! Many thanks.
Saurer trucks were built in Arbon in Switzerland at the Lake Constance. Vis-à-vis, on the German shore is the village were I did grew up…
Cool! Visited Lake Constance with Elly four years ago.

16:20 I'd never heard of Saurer. Seems they were Swiss.
Reminds me of an Old Fred dibna documentary for a second lol
Interesting what you say about the Sentinel being hard work. My late Grandfather was a second man on a Garrett steam wagon as a young man and his last job every day was to shovel several cwt of coal into the bunker ready for the next day. BTW need more power for a steep hill with a heavy load?..just tie down the safety valve!!!
The Fred dibna crowd will be excited 🤓
Looks very similar to the Yesteryear Festival in Malpas Cheshire… runs mid-September also.
Recommended for next year…
I can smell it from here ...smashing 😀

Ford Cargos are getting rare here too in western Canada. But a number are still in service.
Absolutely fantastic. I love this kind of content. 😎
As Fred would say did you like that 😂
Bit of goose fat ladled on and they will do that all day 😉
at 8;05 the scammel Bedford , tis a Bedford truck with the patient scammell trailer coupling as used by brs and post office normally on a scammell scrab 3 wheel urban tractor
The van models of the 105E Anglia were named (numbered?) 305E.
AY UP MR HUBNUT
Some smells you wouldn't mind bottling there, I bet! 🙂
I had the most scary moment in any bigger vehicle in a Ford Cargo back in the 90s. A front wheel puncture (right side) in a underwater tunnel, on the way down. And it was in a left curve. Not fun at all.
Eesh!
Ford Cargo with Cortina Mk 4/5 headlights. Fun fact
Steam rally wrong‘uns!
6:15 Little tank Hubert Jr.
Ian you should test drive a steam car
You've done a few buses for subscriber milestones. How about a steam lorry for the next one?
Another brilliant video, Thanks for making the video. Are there any shows near where you are based which would be good to attend?
We don't get many steam rallies here. Shrewsbury is probably the nearest.
@@HubNut I’ll have to look into that one, what weekend is it usually on?
I thought Sentinels were "Steam Waggons" (note the double 'g')?
Did you see my Acadiane ?
It makes a fleeting appearance in the previous video I think, just as I looked at a Land Rover chassis. I was shattered at that point and only noticed it in the edit suite.
Speed regulator? Governor in steam speak....
