- These fantastic old steam pump have been restored back to working order by a dedicated group of enthusiasts,if it wasn't for this group of guys these amazing pumps and buildings would have been lost.What a shame that would be,some of the buildings have decor as nice as a palace inside.
Just amazing...Enjoy watching this video,the full length versions of all stations can be found on my channel.
Why not visit them and admire there glory yourself.
Chris, we live conveniently close to Papplewick Pumping station , so convenient that our daughter got married there, we had the engines steamed for the occasion, it was a great day!
What a fantastic location for a wedding,to have engines running as well, amazing!Roll on when they open up again.....Regards Chris.
Chris, the guests loved it and we had the miniature railway running as well. It was a memorable day. Wedding picture was also on the next edition of the leaflet.
@@peterhunt2723 Now i'm jealous.We did film that railway while doing the Pumping station video.
And not a single young man. Some retirees. It’s sad.
We have same problem at our M.E Society, we just cannot get the kids interested and off the dam phones.
I'am 55 and wait for my retirement ... that will be my favorite Job then ... i can't find more esthetic movement in the wohle world of mashinery !
But it is not allone the mobiles, the crazy worldwide gretabrainwaschpanic ...
there are in fact plenty of young men and women volunteering up and down the country to help preserve our industrial heritage. I'm almost 20 and I've been running old mill engines and pumps since I was 14. It's not a common hobby anymore so you can never expect hundreds of people but there will always be enough to see that these places don't spiral into decay.
Amazing video. I volunteer at Tees Cottage Pumping Station in Darlington
It's amazing, well done on working at the Tees..You just might see my camera coming your way soon.
Great video Chris , What beautiful buildings and Machines they took pride in everything they made years ago and as you say its the hard work and dedication by enthusiasts that have our Heritage , best wishes Graham
Built to last good British workmanship.The building is a work of art,just watching this video makes me want to visit them again when they open...There are a few more just as nice or even better dotted about the country i'm hoping to visit asap....Best wishes Chris
Hypnotic and calming Chris. The original designers, people of imagination and creativity. Happening all over Britain so many years ago. ⚙️ 🛠
Very true.If we ever are allowed out again,I would like to visit the rest in the UK...I have part two recorded,so when I get the time to upload it....Regards Chris
Such beauty and grace in such huge giants.such engines kept the wheels of industry turning.😍😍😍😍😍😍
All built without computers, just amazing Toni!
A wonderful insight to these magnificent machines that were built to last forever Chris....Best wishes...Bob
Indeed,British,built to last.I never though I would get into these machines but I find them fascinating.Just amazing....Best wishes Chris
How the English engineer's builde and erected such a heavy and huge machinery before more then hundred years A Greate and hard-working nation
Thank you. This is from the age when men were men and proud of what they built. Most of the work inside was never seen by the public until our times. Just amazing.
So majestic these engines.
They really are,thanks for commenting.
Lovely video wooltman such amazing machines
Thank you Leo,they really are amazing.....Regards Chris
There is a vid of the Kempton engines running here too and don’t forget the Trencherfield mill too
Hi John...We have a few videos of pumping station,we had plans to visit a few more last year, but the dam Covid got in the way.Perhaps this year!
I really enjoy your videos Keep them up and hope you are staying safe
Many thanks Sam,makes it all worthwhile when I know people like my videos.We have loads on my channel we will keep putting some on,sadly no new ones until the lockdown is removed and the miniature and standard gauge railway open again....Regards Chris
I think Kempton is of similar dimensions to that of Titanic's engine, but one cylinder less. Titanic had four cylinders per engine and Kempton has three.
I'm sure somebody will inform us Neil.Just shows how big the Titanic was.
@@wooltman I think someone has. I'm sure I saw it somewhere.
These running on steam or do they have motors added to help the move without steam ?
As far as I know the big pumps are steam powered but some of the smaller ones could have some help from electric. To find out more information visit the websites, they should have all the answers you need. Regards Chris
like 0:24---"nuclear bunker"--yep those russians would blow up a pump house!!
LOL!
I its a relatively remote location.That's probably why the bunker is located there.
