My Grandfather was the builder of this engine! I polished the bell and the brass, it was the only thing beside emptying the fire box was all I was allowed! Looks Great!! Fred Paul
@@scorpion-yt7ih Yes, but it also was sold. it was on a pickup truck frame boiler & firebox was rear mounted! It was later scraped, boiler went bad! That's all they built. This PC&O steam engine was run at one of the Purdue Football Games, they took my dad's plans and made the small one they use now!
The really cool part is that there is no clutch. Those pistons are directly coupled to the wheels. Admit steam, vehicle moves. Try that with a gas or diesel engine. Another neat thing is the walschaerts valve gear that can control the valve timing at the cylinders for power or economy or just throw it into reverse as a power brake.
Steam engines are also capable of generating significantly greater amounts of torque than diesel or gasoline engines can, as well as operate at very low rpms, and even run in reverse.
Sabia que é possível, principalmente neste caso, em que o peso bruto, foi viável de ser instalado em truques/eixos para rodas pneumáticas utilizáveis em piso carroçável existente em diversos lugares. Meu prazer é ver este resultado final, ma-ra-vi-lho-so. Felicito aos idealizadores e realizadores deste projeto. Que mais e mais sejam realizados mundo afora. Pena que não sei me comunicar na vossa língua mas, aqui vai no meu Português, na versão falada aqui no meu Brasil, Terra de Santa Cruz.
Doesn't look safe as far as the boiler being held too rigid and being moved around like that. Sometimes prototypes fail and lessons get learned. Looks like there's flexing going on where it shouldn't be. Very ingenious. Great idea but be very careful.
Lembro dessas máquinas rodando sobre trilhos, infelizmente quando havia um sinistro (tombamento) , os dois ocupantes morriam cozidos, ainda bem que estão fora de operação.

Did he build others as well?

Police officer: "Do you know how fast you were going sir?"
Engineer: "Was I moving already?"
I have found my dream car
I realy like the chuffing sound it makes
steampunk. got wild for sure on that one. i could see this working at a lumber camp.

Its Stephenson's valve gear but your point still stands steam is a truly wonderful thing!

Also, it's very easily accessible for maintenance.
I think a fast road diesel locomotive is something good to invent even if it is 6X6.
I love the newest train ever with car wheels
There were quite a few of those running around in the 1940s with some being restored in more recent years.
Wow really nice I would drive that every day 😁
I want to do this as my next project with a garden tractor.
Looks funny
Steam thing with rubber tires
❤️
Way Cool !!.. ok now, put that thing in road gear and lets go!!
Something for Jay Leno's garage....looks a bit like a Foden tractor, but here with a under type engine

신기합니다.
It is a steam train with a car wheel.
Wonder if they will use it to pull the. Thanksgiving parade float or some event
That is so cool man!!!!!!!!!,😁
who built that one. ?
Diese Maschine ist wirklich super
Incredible
this looks like the job for the Mennonite Marauder Lancasters newest hero ta da cape flowing in the breeze
🇮🇳💐🍁🌹♥️I love you road steam locomotive 🌹♥️🥰🥰👌🍁💐🇮🇳
Magnifique 👍😉

Ha! This thing is over one hundred years old!!
@@lmo1131 much younger actually! Built in the 1940s!
@@lmo1131 In another video's description, it's said that this road locomotive was built in 1958.
What you need!
Imagine if our civilisation was built upon steam instead of oil
It was.
I would keep hold of that with the price of diesel nowadays it will soon be the only thing on the road
Is it street legal and does one need a drivers license to drive one?
Someone restored the Adams family car.
Huh, this is very neat but why didn’t I think of this?
Any plans to test it out at a tractor pull?
Interesting steam traction engine
It's a road locomotive. Traction engines have large rear wheels.
Nice modal

holy FUCK I WANNA RIDE THAT
I know it’s a road steam locomotive, but my head just chirps with “traction engine” inspite of it not being that!
Maravilha 😁
wou.......
i liked........
Whoooooa
Wow
