Went after two covid, no show, years. Fantastic day out. 9am to 11 pm for £25. Heavy horse ploughing, steam threshing and saw mill. WW1 trench recreation queues constant. Only downside was real ale was £5 a pint. Funniest part was commentator in HH arena saying some steam enthusiasts don't feel part of the steam community until they've been insulted by him.
I don't know if the three engines hauling the transformer were using special coal, but they were making impressive smoke effects when no one seemed to be making much smoke at all. I like the race up the hill @8:00 🤠 That engine at the end (I thought at first it was American, as the flywheel's on the wrong side, but it may be an export model McLaren) hauling the steam loco was putting up an impressive show, that must be well over a hundred tons with the Alleleys rig as well
Hi Mechanicman! I'm one of the members of the team that was working on the Ransomes Sims & Jefferies hauling the train. Would it be possible for you top send us a full resolution copy of the video for our own records? We were focusing on the task at hand rather then videoing it!
Lovely video! That engine at the end looks to be working hard!

Last engine in clip Ransomes Sims & Jefferies 60bhp RCT ( Ransomes Colonial Traction ) built in Ipswich 1925 exported new to Argentina returned 2004
There’s no smell 😥. We need smells on YT!
Did nobody turn up from the green party to kick up about the pollution?,
It's the bloomin Columbian coal, unbelievably smoky in comparison to Welsh stuff (now no longer available)
Yeah they did, the commentator had to apologize because someone complained about the smoke!🤯
They did turn up, and were given exceptionally good views by standing them in front of the traction engines!
@@hazzalandy that is strange. The commentator said it was Polish coal 🤣🤣🤣 Definitely gave good smoke wherever it was from 😁👍
Did the train no fuss!

What kit did you shoot this with please? The lighting on the climb at the start of the film is sublime.
Would the engine be pulling both lorry and loco ? If so very impressed,thanks for posting
Looks like it was, the truck seemed to be just idling
@@AndreiTupolev The truck engine is idling to keep up air pressure to release brakes. No air, brakes lock on.
😎😎😎😎👍
i love the heavy haulage area. go away train, youre drunk. am on sensory overload.
