Served in Berlin in 89/90 and the Berlin Brigade Chieftains (and 432/30s!) always stole the show during any Tri-Partite parade or exercise, if only because of the paint job!
I once did a tamiya 1/35 chieftain in Berlin brigade colours & that was a pain in the ass . BIg respect to you guys doing a full size one ! Can't wait to see it finished 👍
Being from Canada I’ve never heard of a Foden before connecting with your channel. Great trucks. We have ‘Bed Trucks’, Picker Trucks, wreckers with the same configuration as your Fodens, but your cabs are shorter, we had cabovers, but were phased out in favour of aerodynamic‘conventional’ tractors for long haul’s
At some point, it would be great to see an in-depth look at the Fodens and why you like the White front better. Great video's and like your style. Keep up the good work.
Totally agree!!! I was looking at the stern of Foden and wondering about all the pin holes and how they are utilised to pull all different sorts of things.
There was no need for your colleague to give you that very gesture, he should be made to make the cups of tea for a month, another great video, bext regards from a Kiwi living in Australia 👍👍👍👍👍
Saw a video by exploremore of a yard full of trucks etc.more importantly there was a Stalwart in the yard. Most of the vehicles had York on the names. Great videos keep them coming...
Awesome, think you’re very lucky to be able to do what you do. ‘Do something you enjoy and you’ll never work a day in your life’ I think is how the saying goes! 👍🇺🇦👍🇺🇦
I don't know it it's just me, but I felt a wave of sadness to hear that the warrior tank would end up nothing more than a gate guard. It seems such a lovely piece of machinery and runs nicely too, although it appears some instrumentation is not working. Maybe I'm starting to understand why people like rescuing, renovating, restoring and running such machines.... though I'm not sure how practical some of them would be as a daily driver! 😀
I’ve always been fascinated with the heavier type of war / commercial vehicles, SCANIA, SCAMMEL, FODEN, FORDS, LEYLAND, MAN, MACK, UNIMOG /MERCEDES etc but beginning to like the looks & sounds of your tanks as well. Daniel.
Mate building a train track will be a sick project in the future but out of all the steel and iron I've just seen that pink horse box lol what's the story there, I saw the Tele that identifies as a Foden looking at her giving her a 😉 but the worrier flexed passed and cockblocked big Yella, could be trouble in the yard later 🤣🤣
really looking forward to the berlin cheiftain,i was 3 tk tptr sqn dvr in germany.we used to pull them out of berlin once a year and transport them down to hohne ranges so they could do live fireing,AWESOME SIGHT....
1:15 you can use wood or cheap seam pipe to make tracks for those and make it into a water delivery system. My grandpa had a similar, but smaller mine loco and he'd move heavy equipment and water all over the farm with it. He used whatever was around to make the tracks, which weren't permanent, he'd switch them about wherever he'd need them. Best part, no holes in the soft soil, using boards and whatever to displace the weight. Super farm friendly.
Great video as always, makes me jealous to see all of the vehicles you work on on a daily basis! This has probably been asked many times before, but has there been any consideration to the Challenger 1 'Prototype' that's been listed on a certain military vehicle site for a few years? Would be an interesting one for sure, though I can imagine not the easiest logistically!
There's a Challenger 2 sat outside the Discovery museum in Newcastle, used to be the gate guard at Vickers Scotswood Plant where it was built, I believe it was a trial one, it sits on a ramp in the car park now, sadly it's also full of concrete apparently.
05:20 When Hewes said "....time to get the Foden" my bowels juttered everso slightly, yes the Formidable Foden _can_ have that effect on you, and you dont even have to be there!
My wife 'caught' me watching the channel last night and passed some remark about 'tank porn'. Good job she didn't realise see all the lingering shots of Ted.
Just finished the vid, i cant believe you have a favourite Foden, dont tell the other one, no parent should have a favourite -well admit to it. I tell my kids you are my favourite daughter or son. Only have one of each.
Hey joe🙋 your regular sub here, I have a pretty good idea for your Renault car video.. You can change the thumbnail and replace it with time stamp 7:19 of that video. It will attract a lot of new viewers. And you can also change the title to "tearing a car apart with two trucks" or "testing a Renault clio's durability". Hope you'll find this helpful.❤
Foden or Lanz Bulldog at 10:50????? Jokes aside n they are an impressive bit of kit. The gents who designed them did a good job. Not sure if they made it to here in Australia.
hey guys for us over seas viewer can you do a bit on the Fodens, I.d like to know what the drive line and engine is in ti and who its manufactured by if not Foden them selves?
That Foden must do yards to the Gallon when you're manoeuvring tanks etc about. Can you use Red Diesel in it as it's not used on the (public) roads (very often) or are crucified with the tax?? Or is this a question best left unanswered!!! 😂😂😂
Trains around the farm - sounds interesting. Are you planning on hauling farmed crops, or just using them as toys? Yes, they are surprisingly heavy/dense - they have to be. Metal on metal doesn't grip, so all that weight is essential for adhesion so it will pull loads. And that pedal isn't the throttle, the throttle will be hand operated. That's the safety cut-out pedal. You have to keep your foot on it all the time or it will stop.
09:40 Man this 20 second loop of soundscape should land in some dark ambient artpiece add some deep echoed voice and one really deep drum every now and then ...
Man that Warrior is so sick! Also very excited to see the final results on the Berlin Brigade Chieftain. Very nice piece
Served in Berlin in 89/90 and the Berlin Brigade Chieftains (and 432/30s!) always stole the show during any Tri-Partite parade or exercise, if only because of the paint job!
Any one of your episodes that features a Foden is top drawer to me.❤
Wow, brings back memories, drove warrior for 10yrs during my time in the army!!! Brilliant machine
My Sunday is complete, a 1 fingered salute from Jack, the promise of railway fun to come and lots of Foden action ❤
I cannot wait to see the train and track around the farm what a incredible idea. These videos are excellent. 👍🏻Good job lads
Thinking the same... Who would like to see the train re-bodied as a foden? Thumbs up and ill CAD up the design...
I once did a tamiya 1/35 chieftain in Berlin brigade colours & that was a pain in the ass . BIg respect to you guys doing a full size one ! Can't wait to see it finished 👍

The American paccar company owned foden trucks until they sold it off and killed the name in the mid 2000s I used to work at the factory
The Foden was designed to recover vehicles up to 30t, but it doesn't know and tows a 50t chieftain 💪
Nice,2ft gauge.
The pedal on the floor will be dead man's pedal.
The warrior parked up between those walls looks like something from Normandy 😁
Love the warrior brings back loads of good memory’s, would love to have a drive in one again.
At some point, it would be great to see an in-depth look at the Fodens and why you like the White front better. Great video's and like your style. Keep up the good work.
Totally agree!!! I was looking at the stern of Foden and wondering about all the pin holes and how they are utilised to pull all different sorts of things.
Would love to see the Challenger 1 added to your collection! one of my favourite tanks of that era.
One day!!
I love how easy the Foden makes shunting those hulls around!
Safety Officer Ted is doing a very good job!
The Berlin paint on that Cheiftain is going to look soooo good! Excited! Ted'll concrete that bit for you.
There was no need for your colleague to give you that very gesture, he should be made to make the cups of tea for a month, another great video, bext regards from a Kiwi living in Australia 👍👍👍👍👍
Great driving, low range 6x6 engaged, sounds good, thanks for sharing 💨💨👍
Saw a video by exploremore of a yard full of trucks etc.more importantly there was a Stalwart in the yard. Most of the vehicles had York on the names. Great videos keep them coming...
The Warrior is such a cool machine, too bad its just gonna end up as a gate guard.
Nice bit of pushing and pulling MR Hews. Really impressive HGV driving skills.Proper bits of kit are those Fodens!
Awesome, think you’re very lucky to be able to do what you do. ‘Do something you enjoy and you’ll never work a day in your life’ I think is how the saying goes! 👍🇺🇦👍🇺🇦
What a waste of a perfectly good warrior. I’ll buy it to save it from wastage. Always loved them.
Love that Foden! Plenty of power! Most of the time barely off tick over
That Foden eats its weetabix , bloody handy tool that . 100% fan here
little did we know that mk3 hull was destined for greatness
Those old Fodons are just awesome trucks . Just a beast 👍🇬🇧👍🇬🇧
I am very surprised that Ted has not got his own CZcams and Twitter account
Trains now we are talking! 2ft gauge? Good stuff.
Nice work manoeuvring the tanks with the Foden(s). 😎👍
Awesome video thanks lads very much appreciated 👍🇬🇧👍
Can't wait to see it when you build a train track round your farm that be cool
🤣
This is the most AMAZINGLY , BADASS CHANNEL!!! Keep it up Boyz!👊💪

You forget to mention DAF, TATRA, LAZ
Mate building a train track will be a sick project in the future
but out of all the steel and iron I've just seen that pink horse box lol
what's the story there, I saw the Tele that identifies as a Foden looking at her giving her a 😉 but the worrier flexed passed and cockblocked big Yella, could be trouble in the yard later 🤣🤣
love watching you all play with tanks what a job , out of interest how much weight can the fodens push or pull .
keep up the good work 👍👍 carry on !!
really looking forward to the berlin cheiftain,i was 3 tk tptr sqn dvr in germany.we used to pull them out of berlin once a year and transport them down to hohne ranges so they could do live fireing,AWESOME SIGHT....
Probably moved her at some stage then! Photos at Hohne as well 👍🏻
Once a year! That’s pretty sad, matey ☹️.

I'm really jealous too that he's driving all around those vehicles!!
It’s strictly not quite a Challenger prototype but ATR 1 which was used as an automotive test bed on the Shir programme.
And then MBT 80.
There is a chance that could make its way to mine
@@MrHewes Now that does bring a smile to my face... would be some amazing content, I'll keep my hopes up lol
Tanks AND Trains ! - awesome 😁
"be a lot easier if it ran" brother I think that might be the motto of AW Hewes
Amazing skills with the Foden. 👍
That warrior sounds awesome! I want one and a muddy assault course 😂
That Foden does a good job at moving those MBT's around. I bet jobs like that I bet you wish you had that Cent ARV up and running!
Brilliant steering around the corner with that mk3
If this channel wasn't good enough....TRAINS !!!!! You had me at hello!
Can't wait lads!
Gregg 🙂
Nice choo choos. Can’t wait to see your little railway
THIS ONES MORE LIKE SUPERMARKET SWAP OR SWEEP BUT BLOODY GOOD TO SEE SOME GOOD DRIVING 😮 .
WARRIOR wasted as a gate gaurd,shame on them.
There's a Challenger 2 sat outside the Discovery museum in Newcastle, used to be the gate guard at Vickers Scotswood Plant where it was built, I believe it was a trial one, it sits on a ramp in the car park now, sadly it's also full of concrete apparently.
Give Ted a well earned belly rub for us!
Great effort, is exciting with 'what could be' with the 'Concrete Chieftain'.
CVRT (Combat Vehicle Reconnaissance Tracked) Love the shows
05:20 When Hewes said "....time to get the Foden" my bowels juttered everso slightly, yes the Formidable Foden _can_ have that effect on you, and you dont even have to be there!
Those shackles on the front of the Foden look big enough to use to hang the whole truck up.
They are!
My wife 'caught' me watching the channel last night and passed some remark about 'tank porn'. Good job she didn't realise see all the lingering shots of Ted.
Man that warrior sounds good
Just finished the vid, i cant believe you have a favourite Foden, dont tell the other one, no parent should have a favourite -well admit to it. I tell my kids you are my favourite daughter or son. Only have one of each.
This should have been titled “Tanks, trains, and terrible terrain”
You should have an open day to allow your fans to come and see all your projects .
I go to shows for that. I like to keep where I live private for obvious reasons
Always enjoy Foden content 👌
When it's (Concrete Chefitan) up and running, is this a pub/chipshop run vehicle? You said you'd go in a real MBT?
You’re the skinner!!👍👊
Massive shame the Warrior is ending up as a gate guard :/
Keep it, blow gate guard !
Ted walks among giants
Love the videos but always wish we has more and longer maybe with a bit more talking too.
I don’t like the sound of my own voice
@@MrHewes maybe but we need your wise words. maybe get a video editor person.
That yellow Foden is nice.
If you guys need any Hydraulics sorting on the trains, let me know. I'm local to you lot. Love the videos, keep it up!

I’l try it bud

I saw a for sale sign in the Foden, i hope thats from the sale to you? Love the content and look forward to your vids keep it up.
It’s definitely not for sale 🤣
Great video as always Joe, wanted to ask though how do the towing hitches/clamps work the two piece ones you always you the A frame on?
Great video!
Let me design a 'Foden' body for that train for you... A narrow gauge 'Foden' train.... The perfect solution... :)
Ted the only one working hard :)
That MKIII looks pretty rough. Hopefully you have a truck load of parts to help finish her👍
Shed load
2:02 that's one hell of a Yoda impression!

Only agricultural vehicles can run red now as the law has changed. It’s a road trip to BP now for the expensive stuff 🤢🤢
@@MrHewes Stick a shovel on the back and call it a tractor!
Brill job!! Ted is a lovely boy… my Scruff is same …follows me everywhere….💪💪🥰🥰👍
Another day of shuffle and park at the Hewes establishment. Good job you have the gear to do the work, 3 Fodens can manage anything? or can they?
Trains around the farm - sounds interesting. Are you planning on hauling farmed crops, or just using them as toys?
Yes, they are surprisingly heavy/dense - they have to be. Metal on metal doesn't grip, so all that weight is essential for adhesion so it will pull loads.
And that pedal isn't the throttle, the throttle will be hand operated. That's the safety cut-out pedal. You have to keep your foot on it all the time or it will stop.
I can only imagine that when you drive a normal car, it must feel rather puny compared to that beast from Sandbach.
Teds helping mask, Foden,s a nice unit
Lmfao at the trans JCB..... Nicely done 😊
Longer video was appreciated. Could gaze at these metal monsters for days.
very cool
Cheers
Jim
Ted needs a beret with a RTR badge on it.
And his own CZcams channel!!
Can you please repaint the front of the Foden back to green please. It is upsetting my OCD!😊
"Warriors.........., come out to plaaaaayaaaay!"
your white fronted foden deserves a total respray,lol....
That poor things gonna be bloody full of cherry blossom
Ah! Trains, obviously. Why not.😳
I’m a simple guy. I see a Foden 6x6 wrecker and hit “like”
That dog has a more intresting life than I do.
Another cracking video👍
Does the foden start up one cylinder at a time there?
Yes she’s clapped
Said it before, there must be someone who will concrete your yard for a bit of advertisement.
Any takers
I hope Tarmac UK is listing
@@MrHewes let's get these comments to the top and get their attention 😂
You mention you have a favourite foden as though it is quite normal someone to have a choice..
09:40 Man this 20 second loop of soundscape should land in some dark ambient artpiece
add some deep echoed voice and one really deep drum every now and then ...
❤ great stuff
