John, there are thousands, and perhaps even tens of thousands, of steam powered machines, and they are all wonderful in their own ways, but that Marshall engine is a real jewel. The owner's pride in his work and his care of his machine is obvious, and I thank you for showing us this beautiful machine.
You are lucky John to be so close to this reminder of the past, so much these days is a determination to forget history, and they never learn from past experience, so forever repeat the same mistakes. So nice for you to also share it with all of us elsewhere as well, only thing missing is the smell of hot oil and lightly steamed coal smoke.
How good was that,talk about nostalgia,70 years ago in my home time of Keswick I remember watching the steam road rollers laying new road surfaces past our school.keep it up John Fabulous video.Cheers from Oz.
Fantastic story here John. From fire-up to cleanout the work day of a steamer. You video skills are really improving. It was great to ride along with you. Thank you! Fred USA
A great record of a very enjoyable day John, nice to be able to see & hear it in action. Be good to do some more filming with you next time I have the engine there, Beamish Museum is a fabulous location to operate all these old machines.
Lot's of work to keep them running that well. I'm surprised they didn't have a dumping ash pan though. Or is that a cover over one that keeps any strays from hitting the ground?
This is brilliant, real engineering... , (*deleted comment) on behalf of the snowflake generation that doesn't know what Real work is.. Nice one John , all the best and free Tommy Robinson!

Great videoing John, lovely restoration on the Marshall, and a very good driver.

That is a magnificent machine. Thanks for taking us with you on that trip.
Two kinds of people there. Those making memories and those reliving memories. Fantastic

That is one very well kept piece of machinery. Good film.
Thanks for that, John, very interesting to watch.

really nice filming and editing John. Don't know how long the editing took but I much appreciate the result.
I'm always amazed at how quite those are.
I think you mean quiet! ?
Great camera work.
Thanks

Wow, those opening shots were magnificent. Shame Dibnah couldn't be there.
Loved it!
This is why UA-cam has that fullscreen option.
If bandwidth is available in HD as well.
Wonderful old machine. What year was it built?
Thanks, it was built in 1914.
Does this by any chance have a sister engine called jingling Geordie?
Yes, Jingling Geordie is the same type & 1 year younger.
ya just don't see that kind of stuff in idaho! thanks.
Does that tractor use any type of engine braking going down hill?
Yes the engine relies on both engine braking & rear wheel friction rim brakes when going downhill.
I have a vague recollection of you casting a few name plates, wasn't that one of them (Marshal)?
