I love the pace, tone and depth of these videos. Audio & editing is great, the presentation is easy to understand and all persons in front of the camera are making a very good job as a presenter, thanks for all the effort, it is appreciated :)
Wow, really? The audio on this video makes much of the speaking indiscernible. The other videos have been pretty good, but the host's (first presenter) delivery on this one is fast and sporadic, to the point I can't understand half of what he was saying. Added to that is weak audio recording/post (the recording needed some serious EQ) And... well, I've been an audio producer for network productions for 37 years, so I'm not just blowing smoke. It was just so funny to see this comment on the episode with the weakest audio of them all. :) Otherwise, they are generally well done, for sure.
Thanks Andrew, we do appreciate that! If you haven't already, then you may wish to consider supporting us on Patreon so we can keep this work going. You can find out more here: www.patreon.com/tankmuseum
Ever since I was a child I have been fascinated by armored vehicles of all nations. Thanks to you and other museums, these feats of engineering are restored and maintained for generations to come. I love all of your videos, and your Workshop Diaries is a FANTASTIC addition for those of us who drool over such morsels- thank you!
Looking at that Maybach... All too often, we reduce the engine to a mere abstraction of horsepower, reliability and fuel consumption, and little else. But seeing it first hand, its components, the workmanship involved, how much effort and precision it took to manufacture... it is really something.
@@VRichardsn Perhaps i said that wrong, It's more so that every vehicle the 230 ever was in had serious problem due to over stressing said engine, the many oil pumps is a weird complication that would be solved by just using a bigger primary one and little oddball stuff like that. The problems the Maybach had where from being over stressed, overheating, excessive wear due to long high RPM sessions, plus fixing it is not as simple as you'd think, German tanks are not entirely interchangeable in the parts department, minor fitting was common on these. To be fair, germany did not have the time to develop a really good tank engine like the USSR and USA did, the GAA and V-2 respectively, both dead simple and powerful for their size and weight.
Can't wait to see the suspension spring repair revived some 75 years after it was likely last performed as a necessity to put a broken down Churchill back on the battlefield! Great work as always gents! Btw, awesome 'tache @7:16.
Looking at the palaver changing road wheels and a broken coil spring on a Churchill, and people go on and on about simple interleaved wheels on Panthers, Tigers…🤦♂️
Foo-Foo Cuddlypoops yeah but it looked like it was quite literally shot to pieces. I’d imagine they’d need more than just armor plates to patch that meter-wide gap
There was a time, way back before the internet and before UA-cam was dreamed of where I thought my love of AFVs was a bit strange and unique, now I see that there are so many folks all over the world who not only share my interest but have been bitten by the bug far worse than me. As an older fella I'm just very grateful that I live in a time where I can visit the Tank Museum from the comfort of my home in little old New Zealand at the bottom of the world and get these amazing tours of the workshops etc hosted by these wonderful guys explaining what they are doing and why, it's just such an enjoyable treat especially as I've got less mobile with age. Thanks guys,
I so grateful for your work. These machines represent some of the greatest ingenuity of human kind, it makes me proud to be an American and by extension a European. It was an excellently produced program.
@@thetankmuseumThank You for your dedication, service(s), mechanical restorations and archaeology etc. I am sure a range of pure tank engine sounds (start up, idling, running upto average revs etc,) could be turned in to small audio clips to be used for ring, alarm and other notification tones, possibly for a few pence donations - or for free.
I am very impressed with the confident manner and quality of the mechanics and also their presentations. They are real problem solvers and I am especially impressed with the training of the apprentices. Each of these job are worthy of a recording to help archive the problem solving and work progression of all the many and varied issues occurring. A great series, and thank you for doing this.
Excellent work guys. It is a real tribute to those that served all countries in the military that these are preserved. And keep them all running at least once a week, start them up, operate them, as mechanical devices don't like sitting still.
Great to see these restoration projects being undertaken so professionally. I've loved the Tank Museum since a youngster (I can remember climbing on the tiger turret) and still take every opportunity to visit. Wish I lived closer I'd volunteer...best wishes to all of you, keep up the good work.
Very well done presentation by the restoration workers, with good detail about the unexpected issues that always turn up. Familiar story about synchronizing Solexes!
That's great to hear. I actually work next door at Allenby barracks, training up armored corp soldiers and having being to Murmansk tank museum also(somewhat illegally maybe), I greatly appreciate the work these guys do. It is by far one of the best AFV museums in the world and I love living next door to it, so it is great to hear that men like yourself travel far and wide to support it. Thank you
"Mechanical Archaeology" that's exactly what it is!! These machines are part of human history. We should maintain them (functional weapons too) for future generations to look back on, the same way we do with Artwork or buildings.
Always love, love, LOVE seeing these videos. I'd hoped workshop videos would continue after the Matilda Diaries, and this is even better than I could have imagined. Fancy new workshop, regular release schedule, great production quality, familiar faces who've become so good at presenting... it's like seeing a band make it big after you watched them play pubs and small shows for years.
Suddenly i'm tempted to dare you to build a large shed around a 'incomplete' king tiger with a Churchill or other model with it, to recreate the Bovington tank restoration workshop.
@@Kyle-gw6qp First you need to build me a 3d printer big enough to fabricate those armour plates. I can buy 88mm plastic pipe alright I just had visions of a small scale model tank museum to go with the model of the tank :D
Absolutely fascinating stuff, superbly presented. I'm so glad it's the actual people telling us about what they are doing rather than a presenter who wouldn't know half of what was going on. This sort of conservation work and engineering archaeology is wonderful. I'm so happy this exists, and that the Matilda Diaries has led on to so much more.
Nice to see the support to get people in front of the camera who aren't used to it, while getting the best out of them. That's a nice work environment.
Wonderful work, chaps. Good clear video, clear audio, no stupid background music, and actually presented by the workers themselves, not some talking-head presenter narrating afterwards and skimming over the details. Keep it up.
It would honestly be really interesting to take the Churchill Gun tank & get the rust off, maybe paint the parts that isn't shot up & place it as a static showpiece of what many of these old tanks ended up as after the war!
Im sure this is the place all old tanks hope to go when they retire haha, what a wonderful place to preserve history and equipment from a time gone by.
Always love watching Tank Workshop Diaries, it's a blast from the past and well explained and filmed, it's like being there. Man I really would love to work on these old gals.
We have nothing but idiots in are government running this Ft Benning museum. They claim they have no money to open the musem but have all these priceless tanks everyone is wanting to and would pay to see. Let the public in as is, pay a ticket price for a tour to raise money, then build the fancy museum with all the tour money, very simple.
@cforr154 Socialism is stopping us from getting a tank museum, all the goverment rules and red tape. Free interprise would be a smart guy charging money to come see the tanks making tons of cash.
Seeing the actual shop personnel explain what they are currently working on is a refreshing change of pace, it helps me to understand how much time and effort go into not only a static display but how much is required to keep operational pieces working, so many little things that if not addressed would cause serious downtime.
was there on my 65th birthday in April this year with my daughter and two of her teenage children I enjoyed the changes made since two years ago when I last visited But to watch my GrandChildrens reaction was priceless
These videos really are fantastic, thank you so much for making them! As a side note, I would LOVE to see a Churchill three inch gun carrier at the museum... though I imagine the work and cost involved in restoring the one you showed would be a tad prohibitive.
It was good to hear about the old hulls sitting out side the old work shop and what is planned for them. I visited 4 years ago and saw them but them and wondered what was to be come of the. Keep up the great work and love listening to the Workshop Diaries.
The only problem with the Tank Museum is trying to fit it all into one day, totally impossible!,good job you get free return entry to help you take it all in. It is different every time with something new to see and find. There is so much for everyone,you don't have to be into tanks to have a great day. The restoration workshop is awesome always something going on! Twelve visits so far and still not seen everything! Best day out ever. Seeing the big old dinosaurs snorting and roaring their way around the arena is brilliant.
Look forward to seeing the series on rebuilding the Maybach engine. Tiger 131 History also includes the capture of a number of Maybach engines and transmission units which were examined in the U.K. late 1943/early 1944. Are these various components from these original engines. Also can MTU provide you with guidance from original documentation for assembly tolerances etc. It will be interesting to if you find any assembly sabotage, like the Bruce Compton engine from his TV series.
Hi Paul, great to hear that you're enjoying the content! If you haven't already, you may wish to consider supporting us on Patreon for exclusive content and merchandise. You can find out more here; www.patreon.com/tankmuseum Thanks again!
a lot of the features of the Maybach engine are used in jet engines, such as the heat exchanger, and the pickup/scavenge pumps, etc. pretty interesting and innovative.
I really have enjoyed this workshop series very much! Great idea! All staff involved do a superb job in front of the camera...and I do forgive some of the technical staff for the odd forgetful moment!
Another great video. This series really is becoming very good at showcasing the whole range of work you guys do. It'd also be great to see the BARV getting a little bit of TLC for the anniversary of D-Day.
Very interesting video of various vehicles and tanks. I think you are all doing a marvelous job with much dedication! Was for me I would live in the shop, lol...
Great content and a fabulous museum which I last visited on the weekend of my 50th birthday. Anyone wondering about going? Just go as you will not be disappointed.
Another excellent episode thanks! Interesting to see the Churchill has a "fly by fluid" throttle control! Great to see another Maybach engine coming together, I've always been surprised at how much power this engine made, considering that it wasn't supercharged, and had a low compression to allow it to run on very low octane fuel. I had a question about the range wrecks, were any of them shot at with DU rounds? Is this something that you have to watch for? Looking forward to the next episode.
Love the Q&A. could you do a stand alone Q&A, say a bit with the workshop guys, a bit with the Museum and Conservation guys. Maybe even a video about the archives and the technical documents (blueprints, manuals etc)maybe even the cultural collections (the original Armoured corp herald, trench art, etc). Love all of the videos produced by the team. Special event stuff (100 years of Cambrai) are just as interesting as the workshop and restoration videos. Sorry I'm unlikely to be able to get there soon, I'm Australian, so these are as good as being there.
Great video great work keep them fantastic machines working the German tanks had some great engineering on them . Jealous of all you guys you have a great job
You guys should get two guys to cut the bolts on either side of the churchill’s suspension simultaneously or maybe get some army guys with small explosives and just let that spring launch the suspension wheel out across a field Cool video btw, fun to be kept up to date

The sound of the Churchill engine, beautiful.
It was considered weak in a tank, but on its own it's a monster.
So they're making a tool that doesn't exist anymore to fix a part that hasn't been worked on in 70 years.
Love these workshop videos.
I have done the same working on an old 1942-43 RD7 Caterpillar bulldozer had to make a huge wrench to tighten the tracks.
Seeing the condition that the V12 from the Jagdpanther was in was incredible!!!
Ever since I was a child I have been fascinated by armored vehicles of all nations. Thanks to you and other museums, these feats of engineering are restored and maintained for generations to come. I love all of your videos, and your Workshop Diaries is a FANTASTIC addition for those of us who drool over such morsels- thank you!

the Maybach engines where over complicated to a large degree, it's why they where plagued with all their long term durability problems.

As a member of the fabled
Churchill Gun Carrier Fan Club, I for one would absolutely *love* to see you restore your GC.
Foo-Foo Cuddlypoops yeah but it looked like it was quite literally shot to pieces. I’d imagine they’d need more than just armor plates to patch that meter-wide gap
It would be easier to take a less desirable church hill and convert it into a gun carrier then it would be to put that GC back together.
@@Wolvenworks restore (more or less) the "intact" side to green paint and leave the other in the range battered state
I've said it before and I'll say it again: This channel is a true jewel. Well done by the dedicated staff and supporters of the Tank Museum.

Would be interesting display to show how these target tanks stood up to weaponry.
The Churchill GC has to be the ugliest and probably the most useless AFV ever produced. Bury it!
EA SS No keep it! show people what it looked like so we never create another one like it again! 😂

Well done, your lucky to have Bovington, in the US we have many of are great tanks locked up in Ft Benning not to be seen by the public.
Or rotting away outside at Aberdeen.
Well they are trying to get the national cavalry museum built a Fort Benning so may be by 2022 there will be a chance to see something good

It would be nice to see that jagdpanther running around the arena one day!
Visiting your Museum is on my bucket list and Bovington tank Museum is too
Really appreciate this series. Its a fresh of breath air.
How great to see these skills and abilities kept alive by real enthusiasts.

This is awesome viewing! Regards from New Zealand
I love these so much you dont get to see stuff like this anywhere else.
It has roller bearings for the crankshaft. That's pretty cool.
This is a brilliant series.
Great job on not cutting corners with the churchill. The best job isn't always the fastest

I am so jealous. What a job to have! - restoring tanks.
Fascinating to say the least. What an intriguing place to be able wonder round a bit.

Thanks Chris!
I believe the Lynx was a Canadian recon vehicle, also used by the Dutch, not by the Americans, even though it was made in the USA
Correct. Made in USA by FMC Corporation manufacturers of the M-113 and other U.S. military vehicles.
USA never adopted it, not sure why he said that, the US was a huge manufacture of armored vehicles back in the day.
Great video and description of the work being done hello from the U.S.A
Thanks you George!
I can't get over the fact your "Enemy Tank" has "Dissident" written on it. That's some top class humour right there.
Great, looking forward to more.

Great to see another Maybach engine coming together, I've always been surprised at how much power this engine made, considering that it wasn't supercharged, and had a low compression to allow it to run on very low octane fuel.
I had a question about the range wrecks, were any of them shot at with DU rounds? Is this something that you have to watch for? Looking forward to the next episode.
Thanks for the great feedback Mark! Not too sure regarding the DU rounds... Interesting questing raised there. I will have to asked!
Unseen heroes making history move again...
Just superb and so interesting.
That engines cleaner than some.of the newer cars iv worked on coming in the shop
Saladin. The best looking AFV ever made? I think so - but others will have their own favourites. Thank you for another fascinating video. Wonderful.
No, Panther
Best. Show. Ever.
If you are wondering about the HL230 it will be for one of the KTs or for Jagdtiger. Jundging from the parts lying around.
Would love to work on these tanks. Much more interesting than fixing modern diesel truck's.
Me: Cleaning my bicycle and mess up the whole flat.
Also me: watching a clean amd sorted hall with a fkn disassembled tank motor!
What lovely vehicle
Love this series
Love the Q&A. could you do a stand alone Q&A, say a bit with the workshop guys, a bit with the Museum and Conservation guys. Maybe even a video about the archives and the technical documents (blueprints, manuals etc)maybe even the cultural collections (the original Armoured corp herald, trench art, etc). Love all of the videos produced by the team. Special event stuff (100 years of Cambrai) are just as interesting as the workshop and restoration videos.

Great video great work keep them fantastic machines working the German tanks had some great engineering on them . Jealous of all you guys you have a great job
You guys should get two guys to cut the bolts on either side of the churchill’s suspension simultaneously or maybe get some army guys with small explosives and just let that spring launch the suspension wheel out across a field
