Cold Starting a 1912 Marshall Steam Engine "Uncle George"

What an interesting machine, sounds wicked

Lots of tousands and terties and trees, the letter H seems to be unloved and unwanted, so sad.

great work Eoin the Engine looks in good shape i would love one of these

That’s a stunning engine.

I enjoyed your video, good luck

Entertaining and informative. I really enjoyed this and plan to view it again and again !

the guy hitting the doohickey in the background with carnival music really elevated this tbh

Just found your channel and Subscribed. Nice engine

7 hp but what kind of torque? ❤

Guy is a crazy good driver of train

The scissors brought me here. Brilliant engine mate.

Just like the Buckley old engine show in michigan .

Great video! What a beautiful machine. Reminds me of that Fred Dibna guy. Thanks

so many cute Irish guys... clearly need to move to ireland

Ein sehr schönes Videodokument 🙂

I've been to quiet a few rallies over the years. You can't beat being stood by an engine for a bit of warmth outside a beer tent with the subtle smell of gear oil on the air!

Brilliant! Thanks

May sound a silly question but do you always wait for the safety valves to blow before using the engine? What a stunning machine that is. Love it.

Nice video, I enjoyed it. Thanks.

Beautiful engine
Tho even for a steam engine you cannot get proper coal ! thats a shame

Never heard of a steam engine being used for thrashing. Would be extremely painful if you were on the receiving end.

Thank you from the US for keeping us grounded in our history. You are right, no steam, no progress.

That must really be the most unhappy people looking. Love the handbreak, big iron stick.

My Dad was born in 1912. What a piece of art. Thank you for preserving history.

“Cold start” a steam engine? That’s an interesting contradiction in terms.

What's the process to replace the rubber?

Warm starting my steam engine 😂

Roll up into a car meet with this

Im curious how he likes the coal briquettes versus real coal? Ash, clinker, smoke, steam production, etc.

Great video and explanation of everything. Thank you for taking the time to make this and share it with the world.

I love all steam powered machines and appreciate your time an money keeping this engine running. Thanks for the video too.

Its a beautiful looking traction engine. I find it surprising how "cramped" the cockpit area is though compared to a similar sized US engine from Peerless or Cass. Here in the states the coal and water bunkers are kept off to each of their own areas on the sides with the immediate rear usually being left open as a platform to stand on. This provides lots of room for firing, and in general comfort. I have fond memories of attending many steam traction and antique farm equipment festivals while as a kid. Thanks for the video.

Thank you for this. I just love watching and hearing these wonderful works of engineering art.

Very interesting

I avoid these after the explosion in Ohio.

Good on you! That tractor looks absolutely splendid! I hope to be in Cork in June 😅

How do you “cold” start a steam engine?

Nice video interesting.

This brought back many happy memories for me. I used to drive a 1911 Marshall Traction Engine, works no 57375, reg no HO 5581.
We spent many happy weekends at rallies around East Anglia, along with the occasional road run to local schools for their Summer Fayres.

amazing video talks thru whole process well done

It never occurred to me that there would be steam-engine vehicles that weren't train engines! Thank you for sharing this, it's delightful to see such an old vehicle which has been taken care of very well, and to watch it in action

Whenever I see steam engines in parades or at fairs, I always smile because they remind me of the amazing engineering that humanity was capable of in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

How much.?

Oh my I could sit listening to your accent for days.

Excellent video, Well done.

There IS NOT enough likes! THIS IS AMAZING!!! WAY TO GO BOYS!!!

Love that this old bit of kit is still 'out and about', not sat gathering dust n rust in a dank museum. Lovely to see the younger generations learning the skills to keep it running and maintained!. Nice one! Bril!. Nuff said!. Onya! Maddog, Melbourne Aus!. 🙂

How long does it take for it to build pressure from time you start your fire in it ??
