- In this episode on Tekniq, let us indulge into the extraordinary display of steam powered 4 wheel wagons in the United Kingdom and the behind the scenes of operating them.
Gives a whole new meaning to "warming " up the vehicle in the morning. 😅
When I was a child, today I am 65 years old, in my grandfather's road company in Italy there were still two steam rollers. I remember the ritual of turning on and maintaining pressure on the boiler. In the evening there was a fire attendant until dinner time who at 4 in the morning would start feeding the boiler again to be ready to start after 5. In Italy coal was very expensive and the rollers were fueled with pressed bricks of coal waste. During the winter some workers worked to make tiles with a hand press for the summer jobs.I feel like I'm telling a story from 200 years ago but if I've seen it it's not more than 60 years ago.....
I bet they aren’t too comfortable during the warmer months with that potbelly stove roaring beside the driver.
@@deborahchesser7375 I don't think it was much different than traveling in the summer in a Fiat 682 with the diesel engine between the seats in the italian summer 🤣
@@gordonpasha3126 right, or a VW with the heat risers rusted open. 90* and the heater is blowing full blast 😆
@@deborahchesser7375 It happened to me with a Fiat 500 in 1978. From Milan to Turin in August I felt like I was dying
Этой технике износа нет...Честь и хвала тем ,кто сохранил для потомков ,такие экспонаты!!!
This is a Sentinel DG4 steam wagon built in 1931 in Shrewsbury, where the Morris company is also located.
Sentinel prime?
1931!? I was expecting 1910 at the latest.
поразительная сохранность! респект фанатикам, которые тратят свое время и деньги, чтобы мы могли увидеть это чудо
👍👍👍
She's beautiful real engineering and craftsmanship.

Этот локомобиль ещё нас всех переживет...
My father was born in 1925,the told me that he had travelled in steam bus from kohat to peshawar then india now pakistan.
There was a road repair contractor in the 1970's in the county of Fflint in the UK was looking for a number of these vehicles to use as tar sprayers. He thought they were the best possible vehicle for the job - the steam from the boiler kept the tar liquid and supplied pressure for spraying, whilst the regulator could be set to creep up any gradient at a steady 2 mph. Doing that trick with a diesel lorry simply destroyed the clutch, a feature you wouldn't find on a Sentinel. Unfortunately I neither know how he fared in his quest to acquire more, nor do I know what became of the lorries he had.

These rigs always make me think of Fred Dibnah
When we look at the vehicles of today's age, it may seem very funny to some, but if these vehicles had not been produced, it would not have been possible to reach the current level, so the things that were made in difficult conditions with limited opportunities and knowledge at that time are very valuable.
These were technically advanced,in their day,some having a top speed.of 60mph.They full torque from zero revs character of the steam engine,made for huge pulling power.
you sure about the 60mph thing?
Yes, though that's the model that replaced the one shown.
Older ones went to 50 MPH or so, these were built to compete with petrol lorries/trucks in the 1920s. This model was launched in 1928 but Sentinel kept making these monsters into the 1930s!
You'd have to be nuts, of course, to go that fast... and know all the nearest watering holes.
Уникальная техника, спасибо за то что вы сохраняете её.
Imagine getting your Amazon orders delivered with one of these.
I wish, I'd keep em busy
They didn’t have Amazon delivery in the 1930s

@@thunderstorm_band wait who are you lol and why are you responding like I was talking to you? Kinda weird. And what I said is still true.
@@Shonie11 read the comment again “Imaging getting your Amazon orders delivered with one of these” he means TODAYS era. Not the 1930s.
At least when Ww3 hits,
it's EMP proof 😂
any combustion engine is EMP proof
Maravilloso es ver x primera vez todo este trabajo que lleva aser funcionar estas máquinas .felicitaciones muy instructivo el video me llena de asombro y alegría ver esto muchas gracias!
It would be called "weird" if a flop of chickens were dancing on the roof of the truck as it moves...
Definitely not weird - and I'm beginning to think 'weird' just means 'not seen in the US'.
Great camera work.
Se llama titulo para generar curiosidad y ganar visitas....aprende eso. Y no es raro? Cuantos ves por dia de estos camiones ,si son lo mas comunes del mundo aca en mi país los usan para trabajar todavía 🤡
Exactly! What's weird about this Sentinel? Or, a Foden! (let's mention that other great brand)
Unknown is unknown. Not weird!
We our reserves of coal a good idea at the time. I would call that starting more like getting up steam. I really enjoy a steam rally some of the best of British engineering. Nice to see the electrical system.
Hey honey can you start up the car overnight, I got to go to work in the morning 😂😂😂
Not funny at all
This is like amazing invention thus days
😂😂
@@Urforma Pretty crappy joke to be honest.
this will be most silent truck meet ever 😂🥰
Amazing machine especially nowadays !
Good job man.
A history will never forget this❤❤❤
Tenés que empezar a prenderlo con un mes de anticipación! 😅
Helluva starting procedure. Instructions had to be lengthy. 😊 beginning of the industrial age was scary. I get that now.
Эта техника рассчитана на века,такие машинисты механики могут преподавать детям уроки физики
I like seeing HMS sultans sentinel steam truck around. Lovely machine!
That beast is wonderful.
Stunning paint work!

I had the sheer good fortune to speak to someone at a steam festival, this summer, who had a couple of steam tractors on show. He told me about his lorry and one thing I remember is that it was kept lit, so cold starting was probably a rare enough occurrence. But that practice was not reserved for steam. In the 1990s, diesel electric locomotives used to be run into sidings and left running overnight, to eliminate the need for cold starting in the small hours.
Talk about glazing the bores
If the sidings were on a slope, sometimes it was necessary to maintain pressure in the braking system. If the train was coupled, this could save almost an hour, winding the mechanical brake on and off each carriage.
Hello there! May I use this clip in my compilation?
Thanks.

I can bet someone who went to office in this got late everyday.
I need one of those for the cold winters in Alaska 😂
It would keep your feet and hands warm for sure , and an always hot kettle for yer coffee 😊
Qe obras de ingeniería y dedicación para restaurar estas maquinas .
Desde sus comienzos ya eran ecologicas ..bien x eso.
Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷💪👏👏👏
Con uno de estos no te aburres nunca, es todo un proceso para poderlo poner en marcha.
I was part of the run of sentinel steam lorrys that did the Glasgow to Shrewsbury run over 3 days many years ago. Thanks for the memories Mr toad 😂😂
I love stuff like this one question how long could these beautiful machines run for
For ever if they have fuel and water and lubricants and matinance.

In my opinion truly great engineering for that time when technology was not as advanced as it is today. 👍👍👌👌
I would love to have one myself
A great video. It would be even better if more was said about this vehicle at the same time.
Great Video Enjoyed It 😊
É uma obra de arte e engenharia! Lindo

É engraçado conheci um jeep nesse sistema ,mais não usava óleo no lugar do óleo usava água que com a caloria da caldeira gerava o vapor e pressão ,que movimentava o motor do carro.
Love it cool as hell.

Mirip ketel tungku pembakaran "kendaraan tenaga uwappppp.....👍👍👍 Slamat sang pencipta....❤❤❤
Поразительно какая техника для тех лет.
That is the coolest thing I've ever seen. 👍
I noticed that it has a battery. I assume it will be for the lights... // He observado que lleva una batería. Deduzco que será para las luces...
Imagine having to do all this before the morning commute 😂
That's a sweet ride!
I think it's cool just for display, even though a lot of the work was left in the great-great-grandparents' time, who knows in the future if the fuel will run out we'll go back to steam...
Dont worry about fuel running out before that happens the government will permanently lockdown the world and remove all freedom to travel so you wont need vehicles anyway.
Вся планета это сгусток энергии, направить её на пользу человечества, наипервейшая задача, для всего прогрессивного мира и с её помощью начать изучение космоса и полеты к другим планетам. В перспективе перевести все вредные производства в космос.
Imagine how drones would be 100 years from now
Grand dad's sentiment can't beat the octroi of the steam producing engine.
This would be really amazing if there were descriptions of what we are looking at and what is going on through the video...
Great Dorset Steam Fair? Looks great!
Ahhh, no computers, how refreshing!
تم اختراعها على الاطلاق 😻
THIS IS THE REAL RAINMAKING MACHINE.❤
imagin doin this in the winter
Thats interesting 😮
Beautiful
Sunggu Luarbiasa 👍👍👍
Mobilnya sangat unik dan antik mantap 👍
Son unas hermosas máquinas antiguas . Reliquias del pasados gue gracias a estas personas podamos apreciarlas en la actualidad. " gracias ".
#REALMENTE ES COMPLICADO ESE SISTEMA DE MOTORIZACIÓN..
Omg that driver sitting there mid summer
🥵😢
Попробуйте сделать возврат воды конденсацией отработанного пара после двигателя.
If you did that then how do you draught the fire in the boiler?
Best recommended during winter. Better still a tanning procedure for the driver.
THEN THE CLOWNS WILL SAY NOT TO USE FIREWOOD
This isn't weird but very good nice looking truck & it's nostalgic
Cuando arranca suena mejor que muchos ritmos de reguetón!! Jajajjajaja
The patience needed to get it going is wanting
this thing is so awesome! O men, good old times i guess
Istimewa 👍👍👍
Alot of patience involved
"true" 😊
I can tell the heat from driving inside of this old beast....
Definitivamente el ingenio es maravilloso. Sin embargo, me parece que es muy riesgoso su uso
Wow , Amazing Full 😮 😅 👍 🇲🇨 .
Vraiment très original, vive la veille mécanique....
Someone should make a modern version of this for use in remote areas where wood is plentiful but traditional fuels are difficult to get in.
"Morris's" just hurts my eyes and brain
Дорогой ты не мог съездить в магазин за хлебом для тостов ? Хорошо милая я быстро!
Parecendo uma panela de pressão
indeed weird ! such a weird concept 😵💫
There's nothing weird about this Sentinel DG4 steam wagon
Imagina o calor ali ao lado do motorista😬🇧🇷
beautiful...
Le chauffeur ne devait pas avoir froid, trop choucard ce vieux camion
😂😂😂 всётаки хватило ящика угля штобы стронуться с места + всегда есть кипяток чай заварить или кофе ,чудно.
We will be back to steam power soon enough.
That is so beautiful
Im almost sure those require a pressure vessel license
I'm just here for the leather door checks ;)
Amazing vehicle in the early days
非常棒的卡车！
So are those pretty good to drive during winter? I figured with the onboard fireplace they would be pretty comfy but in summer not so much maybe.
Anyway the machine works after so long. That is the main thing
I think this time was one of the best times
Bello mi piacerebbe fare un giro con quel camion a vapore❤
Very cool, but I am happy we don't have to use these anymore!
