Here is my footage from a rally held by the Calders at Halkett. This was a great chance to let the engines have a good buck at doing what they were built to do.
In my opinion, this is preservation at it's finest. Its fine to see these things sitting in a museum, being hauled around on a trailer, or parading around an empty lot, but seeing them being used for their intended purpose is really where it's at. The best way to appreciate a machine built for work is to actually work them, even if it's 100 years years old. Hopefully they'll still be running around like this in another 100 years.
This is fantastic, lovely to watch all the engines without lots of dialogue, so you can hear all the fantastic sounds they make. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks for posting this!
when the exhaust is black like that, it's mostly unburnt fuel, and you mostly only get it when the engine isn't really doing any work, so if it's sitting idle or running without any load these engines look more impressive billowing black smoke everywhere though so often times they'll run the engine inefficiently to look good on camera, a good operator can run his engine at a point where no smoke is visible though
@@brianrigsby7900 there's usually a lever you pull and that lever will either engage a clutch that transfers power, or some of the simpler engines the lever puts extra tension on a belt or chain, and how it adds that tension can range from shifting the entire engine forwards to lifting a third pulley in such a way it takes the slack out
Fantastic video
No other way of reviewing it could and will watch over and over
Thank you 😊😊😊😮😮

Liam!!! That was awesome!!!!!! Thanks for sharing, we were disappointed to miss this, but seeing what you filmed was great!!! A+
Great to see these fine British engines still going strong on the other side of the world!
Impressive not seen a double headed working pair, great stuff.
I used to work on an engine in Invercargil around town witha passenger trailer , thamks Stuart .
Excellent, I thought it looked like NZ. Im in southland and a member of the Thornbury Vintage machinery club
Looks like a great day out. I just wish I could smell it! 😅
this is the life man
Quando a força do vapor não é suficiente,, é porque não há bom sincronismo entre a mão ✋ de obra ...😮😮😮
It's trevor!
man, if i had the money i'd run one of these, take it on a vacation once a year where i live out of a trailer behind it
What size was the paddock, andhow long did it take to work it? What horsepower were the tractors? What size cultivator?
And his brother too!
Is that mostly steam coming out ofthe exhaust, it looks black but maybe an illusion or my tablet screen

How does a traction engine work? I’ve seen clips of them sitting still with the piston at full tilt
8:04 like here. The piston and flywheel are moving but she’s sitting still
Gearboxes I think
