"This chap had his safety beard on especially to catch chains." HAHAHAHAHAHA
Just like Colin Furze's safety tie.
I stopped the video to write the same… and it came up immediately as the top comment 😂
My nephew caught a chain on the chin. No beard.
After they filled in a few gaps in his jaw with some bone from his hip, and a few fake teeth, he now always wears a safety beard. But I believe the intent is mostly cosmetic.
That beard comment has to be an all time classic.
Great video Adam.
No doubt he has safety squints to go with that beard.😁
Credit where credits due with all my shit filming that took some serious editing to pull it together, well done @mr Hewes
Great video Adam always entertaining.
Certainly not up to Joe Hewes standard. Roll on the next proper video
Damn Adam, had I known you were in the States, I'd have bought you a beer! Of course, that would have required a roughly 18 - or 19-hour drive by one of us, so...
Hope you enjoyed your stay sir
Cheers
It was good. Lord..Atlanta is the asshole of America. That's why the peacemaker on the hip. You go afew miles and you will always find better food,friends,beer, and REDNECKS!
...indeed Adam 👍
Having a 9mm on your hip at all times is the American equivalent of carrying a Leatherman
You'd probably be in trouble over here for an open carry Leatherman.
Haven't they seen the WWII cartoon by Bill Mauldin? When your tank "breaks a leg" sometimes you have to put it down humanely.
just in case you find a possum for dinner.
That wasn’t a 9mm,,, that was a .45. And it appears it was a Glock.
@@peteparker7396 I know nothing about guns Pete, I was just going by what Joe said in the commentary
Saw the tanks, saw the cops, saw an enormous train. Delivered as advertised. Outstanding!
..."Safety beard!" 😂🤣😂
Furze has his Safety Tie, why not a Safety Beard
A mate of mine was working next to a tensioned winch wire. It was running across the deck at a height of about 3 inches. The wire gave way and the resulting whip back smashed both his ankles. Took him a long time to walk again. So when I see foolish people standing next to tensioned chains or wires, it grates. They have no concept of what they are dealing with. I loved the film, it was brilliant. Great to see Adam and friend repairing the Chieftains over there.
Glad to see that wherever in the world they go, a Chieftain interior is an absolute crap hole. 👍
🤣
Narrated like an episode from top gear 😂😂😂 10/10
Who would have thought.When you guys started fixing up tanks. That you would eventually become INTERNATIONAL RESCUE.!!
Thunderbirds are GO!!!
Not many Americans get to run a MP5SD, and y'all got to play with one on your first trip. Hell yea
You dont know the right people. Or simply go to the Gun Range near you and rent one for $30.....
See that equipment struggle makes you realise how good the Foden is at the job
That train definitely identifies as a Foden, even got the same paint job.
Great vid.
Underrated comment
up big boys are very beautiful trains. im not about to get killed by english railfans here, but yall have to believe that i think american trains are much more loud and fun to railfan. wish we could have high-speed though.
No one cares mush......
Excellent, "Mr Hewes International ". Helping others all over the world to not know what they're doing.
Exactly!
Those Challengers and Chargers certainly belong as rentals
Yeah they also attract cops been one of the most stolen vehicles 😂 so any out of state plates draw attention and will likely result in a stop
Or as victims of the Arkansas State Police...
Yeah, I was thinking, maybe if you want a real car go with a Ford Mustang.
If you want a real car, don’t buy anything American. They drop to bits like a clowns car, two days after the warranty runs out. There’s a good reason that nobody in the developed world buys American cars apart from Americans. Japanese or German (which includes Ford Europe, designed and made by Europeans for Europeans)
@@John-yf8qh america did get foisted with Rover's at one point, badged as Sterlings. they also pay hilarious amounts of money for imported doggy old LR defenders..
Fire on, coffee and bacon buttie in hand and a fresh Mr Hewes. Marvellous, what a start to Saturday.
Should keep coffee in a cup ideally.. a lot easier to handle
😂😂😂. I have reached that age of slatter.
Why is your fire on?! 😅
Because it is cold in the very north of the country
Nice to see your reputation for fixing these 'beasties' has crossed the 'pond'. Good on you for the work you, the lads and Ted do!. Nice one!. Nuff said. 🙂
That Steam Loco was impressive. Known as The Big Boy, they only made 25 in that class and were later converted to run on Oil as opposed to Coal.
Amazing how people who like trains/railroad history/model railroading also love guns and military items like battle tanks, lol.
@@echohunter4199 That's me 100% anything train related especially steam and then Military stuff land, sea or air it's all good stuff. It's in the genes! Also throw in Heavy plant/Agricultural and mining equipment for good measure!
@@echohunter4199 Heavy Metal
Easier to pump oil than to shovel coal - and you can carry several tankers I guess.
@@wideyxyz2271 you said it! I have a wall full of battle rifles and about 60 HO Scale DCC locomotives (most are sound equipped and lots of steam engines) along with highly detailed rolling stock but I buy it on the cheap when I can find things at a good price or second hand on eBay, train shows or from our train club sales. I’ve owned and restored a LOT of MV’s since 93 and I can’t do that hobby any longer due to injuries from my 26 years in the Army having more of an impact now that I’m nearly 59. I actually owned and restored 4 M-561 Gama Goats, for some reason I came across some excellent deals in 94 then in 98. I’ve done some amazing things in my time with people I know but I never got into owning armored vehicles, mainly because I moved a lot and it’s not so easy moving those beasts, I did come close when a Bren Gun Carrier came up for sale for $3,500 and it had an engine from a Pinto and an automatic transmission but after a lot of thinking and test drives, I passed, I think David Wang got it along with the Dingo armored car that was for $5,000. The ones I liked the most was the M-151A2 and M-1009 and I used to drive them to work now and then while I was a Recruiter.
Union Pacific restored a Big Boy and it's up and running and does regular trips for the public. There were 24 built and the one running is # 4014 which was the best one left in preservation, situated in a railway museum in California. Work started in 2013 and took around 6 years to complete. Apparently there are 8 out of the 24 left and another Big Boy restoration is being considered.
That is good to hear and I am not that interested in trains but those monsters should be preserved. Cheers
There is a big boy engine in a park in Cheyenne that I know off that should be restored
@@jeremyshearer3885 If I recall correctly, 4012 at Steamtown (the one in the video) is the second best example and is in better condition than the others. However, it wasn't chosen to be fully restored because the bridges out of the area couldn't handle the weight.
Love America. It gets a lot of stick but it's truly a fantastic country with great people.
Lotta crazies too, unfortunately! 😠
@@john8451 We don't have the market cornered on crazies here. There's plenty of crazies throughout the world in every country😉.
Nice work there, our guy in the Americas.
8:49. Bloody hell that is a lot less armored than I thought it would be! I know it's a 1960s MBT but figured the underbelly armour would be thicker than that!
Bloody hell, Adam can talk a lot can’t he! 🤣 Great Vid! 😁👍👊😎
I thought the same 😂 normally he’s very quiet so you never know what he’s thinking 🤔
This reminds me old Top Gear
"it's not Mr Hewes.......... but it is Mr Hewes American cousin"
Nice work Adam 👍
so Mr Hewes is Stig. Adam - James May. Jack - Hamster. Ted - Clarkson
Credit where credit is due. Well done ADAM !! 🙂
Glad you got some trigger time at the range while visiting. America FSCK YEAH!
At risk of being uber-nerdy, it should be pointed out that despite the popular belief the UP 4-8-8-4 "Big Boys" were not the largest steam locomotives ever built, no matter how you measure them. They were not the heaviest, nor the longest, nor the most powerful, but they were undoubtedly very big and very wonderful. It is however said that theoretically a Big Boy's boiler would fit inside the boiler of an C&O or Virginian Allegheny 2-6-6-6. It is absolutely true however the Big Boy 4014 is the largest, heaviest and most powerful operational steam locomotive in the world.
Another great video, perfect blend of fun, fact and humour. Keep up the good work!
Total entertainment. Well done all. Dont you just love the tank engine sound. Bliss. ❤
'Merica, Fork-Yeah!!!
God bless America !!!
The safety beard comment made me spit out my cereal, haha.
International tank rescue. Good work chaps. Crack on.
It is a very long time ago now, but I remember as a young 20 ish year old I spent some time on a working cattle ranch in Wyoming. For a place with no NHS and a three hour if lucky drive to the nearest hospital predominately off road on dirt roads, the approach to health and safety could be sketchy at best, add in lots of guns, it was was quite a cultural shock, that trip was a pivotal moment in my life, I still remember those days and will never forget those few weeks.
sounds like Wales tbh
Adam always seems to have a permanent smirk on his face. 😉
Adam actually speaking! I am so used to the derisive glance from Adam saying all, that I assumed he was mute. So Ray Charles to sing us out. A trip to America. Firing guns. Chieftains broken and in need a of a fettling. Mr Hewes narrating. It was all good. Quite a blissful video. Thank you :)
Aaah! Cincinnati, the last time I was there was 1991. My auntie Margaret lived there, she was a GI bride, and to hear her speak you'd never know she was born in the UK!
She must’ve learned how to speak English the right way after she moved to the US. Brits invented the damn language so you’d think they’d know how to speak it correctly. 🤣
Mr Hewes, if you were flying Virgin would it have been more appropriate to send Jack? 🤔
Or Joe Bateman..
Adam the weather is just making you feel at home 😅
It don't matter if your video's are scatty , it's freakin awesome, it was something a bit differrent but keeping in the same theme. AWESOME Keep em coming , love it.😁👍
"We're sending a specialist"
Always, when I travel to somewhere new, people ask, "What was the most impressive thing you witnessed on your trip?" The answer is always: "The aeroplane that got me there and back again".
nice shot of Cincinnati in there. that view of downtown when you crest the cut in the hill on I-75 is always amazing, glad you threw it in there
I can see why you have him on your team such a good hand
Tanks, trains, hooning a rental car, full-auto fun, and a trip to Niagara.
These damn Brits “do America” better than we do
Awesome! Cannot wait for more US trips.
300 miles in the uk and you would fall off the edge 😅
Not if you go North South 😝😅
What surprises me about the chieftain is that the British army went with 120 mm gun while a lot of other western countries back in those early days mainly used 105 mm as their main gun the chieftain certainly had advantage in fire power
We made the 105mm L7, then went one better...
Murica! You gotta love it!
I do read the descriptions. It’s nice to see Adam wearing normal clothes and not his German noddy suit.
Great video well done Adam, good to see the English helping out where they can.😄
well done Adam and friend..and thanks for taking us along ..a very good video i thought...work and leisure.. always a good mix, (bet you enjoyed firing those weapons) i know i would ..thanks again, all the best to all...GL&HH... Gordon.
If Adam goes to Niagara Falls, I would have gone out to meet him. I'm only about 3 hours from there. (Syracuse) 🤝🤝🤝👍👍🇺🇸
Having been to the other side of Niagara falls I can confirm - well worth the trip.
juices or bodily fluids and then Adam shot his load down the range
took the British weather with you, no wonder it got sunny here
great video, loved it
i have been to scranton pa too and big boy is massive.
Brilliant, love the States & hope Adam enjoyed it. Looking fwd to the return trip. So satisfying to go to that far, let alone be asked, & sort out an issue. Well done.
I love the "Big Boy"...what a beauty and a beast at the same time
"..what video is normal for us ...? " Spot on. THAT is why we luv 'em! The Black 'And Gang strike again!!!
You can see how handy it is to have a Foden available from time to time.
The 9mil is so you can tell which ones are inadequate in other areas😉
You were at Steamtown National Historical Park, in my back yard.
Definitely need more international repairs brilliant video
SAFETY BEARD COMMENT HAD ME IN STICHES JOE, THANK YOU. SOZ CAPS CBA GOING BACK TO RETYPE.
It's Murica to you son 😂😂😂
Until you visit the USA you can never understand how big every thing is there
Great voice over as usual Mr Hews.
that speed limit would drive me nuts in the states. at least we can drive with a bit of speed here 😅
Believe me, we don't exactly adhere to it until the officers make their presence known
Murica! Hell yeah
Mr Hewes and team going international is pretty mega
I subscribe mostly (solely) for the descriptions so please keep them.
🤣🤣
Wicked ! Great stuff.
Very impressive and fantastic experience guys, you’ve certainly got lots of knowledge and confidence Adam.
I have good friends that give me confidence, I wouldn’t of done it if it wasn’t for them
9mm is clearance hole for an M8 bolt. I’d open carry one just for that.
Brilliant!
Hi I always read the info on what I watch . Cheers
16:00 ......his name of this loko is "Big Boy" heavy steam machine for fright trains!!!
gosh ‘calling International Rescue’ and Thunderbird 1 (aka - Adam) is launched! just needs Lady Penelope and Parker. Great video.
Safety beard, I'M going to use that one!
the descriptions matter but more like getting an extra cookie they always have a bit of info and some fun in them (i think on the UA-cam side they help a bit with searching)
Love the safety beard comment.🤣
I Loved this one! I just hope you all were able to get a tase of some of our great Tennessee Moonshine while passing through on I75.
A damn fine bit of field work there with bonus US 'bigness' in all things mechanical.
Adam in remarkably convivial form, didn't loose his compassion once !
And the adventures continue.
Cool to see Adam in my neck of the woods!
To be honest i WASN'T expecting this video .... BUT IM SO GLAD YOU DID !!
Love the ‘safety beard’ comment!
....aye Georgia's an eye-opener fur damn sure 😳
Im from pa.so cool to know ur team got to enjoy my neck of the woods!!!surprised you wasnt working on whistlen diesels rig as hard on eguip..he is,glad you had safe trip.welcome to america,snooky pa.😊😊😊😊
What a great trip…tanks, guns and trains ! 👏🏻👏🏻😎
Yes I read the description. Welcome to America and seems like you had a good time. I like the customer's aircraft collection. It's something to experience to see the Pacific Big Boy run. Come over to the west coast sometime.
It wouldn’t be a Mr hewes video without at least a little rain and mud. 😂😂😂
Amazing video, it’s fantastic that the work you all do is recognised and allowed you to travel. Adam looked pretty badass with the guns.
Can’t wait for a follow up video, keep up the good work
Great video ! Something a bit different, loved the music, fitted the surroundings 👍🏻
8:55 scary how easy hee drilled through like it was mdf lol
Great vid thanks for sharing 👍💨💨
I'm sorry Mr. Best had to deal with the Atlanta airport twice. I live 90 miles East of it and it's faster and easier to drive there and back than it is to go through airport security to actually get on your flight. And I will cut him some slack about getting pulled over--I-75 is an easy road to go rapidly-fast upon. Most parts of it are very well maintained--smooth surfaces and gentle curves lend themselves well to one's gas-pedal foot turning to lead weights. --Dan
Chieftain doesn't fit as portable lugage 😂. Luckely for the owner.😊
Safety beard 👌🏻 😂😂
6:55 made me spit out my coffee, brilliant 🤣
Awesome video , Mr best got to pop over to our side of the pond. I hope he really enjoyed his stay and will be back at some point 👌🏼.
As an American that serpa holster made me cringe a little lol. Sweet recovery though! Crazy you were in my neck of the woods for a short time. Love the work.
nice to see he made it to my neck off the woods i about a hour drive from niraga falls in new york
