Thanks for watching!👍👍👍😉
Nice video my friend like 107 congratulations
Thanks for the visit👍👍 regards Kev
To all those from UK watching this; look at the leaves on the tracks yet the train is still running! How can this possibly be?
Eyup stuw Our site is full of trees that shed leaves. On this occasion, quite dry ones. Thanks for feedback Regards Kev
@@MrFactotum in the UK trains are regularly cancelled due to 'leaves on the track' which has become a bit of a joke. Once, when challenged, a railway spokesperson even stated it was a 'special kind of leaves' that caused issues with trains! I thoroughly enjoyed my youtube ride on your site, thanks.
@@stuw5910 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 nice one. also 1/4" (6mm) of Snow, (Rail and Roads) thanks very much regards Kev
Should of opened the drain cocks Kev 😊
These toy trains can easily stop if one comes while walking on here. These heavy scale models can really cause serious injury even kill someone total idiot on the loose.
👍👍🚂🚂yes, would be serious damage from this one, always have to cater for the idiots Thanks for feedback Regards Kev
Kev, I lived and worked in Sheffield for 13 years, great city, they had many top companies, and industries, but probably everyone has a tool or tools, that were made in Sheffield. Neil tools, more & wright , many of the woodworking tools , and screwdrivers were made in Sheffield, GKN also there. Most of the British steel and stainless were made there. Virtually all my measuring tools are More & Wright, top tools.
Hi Keith Yeah, tool city, I have loads made in Sheffield. When pride was top before profit. We've gone backwards, in many many things, if firms don't make a million more than last year its time to get the handkerchiefs out, my heart bleeds. Anyway off the soap box, there's nothing we can do about it. Wish I could go back in time, my next project is a time machine😂😂😂😜😉😉👍👍🚂🚂 Regards Kev
Cracking loco and track! Some wonderfully complex points and crossings there.
Cheers FHB Yes it's a drivers track. Thanks for the feedback Regards Kev
Yep, what a XXX$%%&XX ! - unfortunately the South African translation is unprintable on YT. 👍👍👍Nice loco though cheers Paul
Yes Paul My vocabulary outburst wasn't pleasant😂😂😂👍👍🚂🚂 Nice to hear from you Thanks Kev
Did you shout Section 16 Railway Regulation Act 1840 at them

I have done some interesting trian rides in my live time the Trans Siberian twice. In Kyrgyzstan there let me drive the trian why we did a bodgie change to go into China ( no inspectors) a dusty little spot in the middle of nowhere. But i thick your little trian ride would be more interesting ! Kit from down under
Cheers kit Sounds great, no health and safety🚂🚂👍👍
That is an amazing track and loco. Unfortunately, it's doesn't matter where you go or what you do you can be sure there's a pillock close by.
Too right Nigel, always have to take in to account the idiot factor Thanks for feedback👍👍🚂🚂😉😉 Atb Kev
'Pillock' LOL love it.......converted to Aussie it would be 'Boofhead' - Cheers Jim

Pillock meaning added in description for non UK viewers
I think we get your drift. I would suspect that other terms were used ❗️
@@caroleast9636to right Carol😉👍👍 thev
I think I recognise him. I believe it's Richard Head. 😂 Cheers Nobby
Cheers Nobby, Oh you've met him😂😂😂😂 Alan at retro steam tech, suggested I explain to viewers outside uk what pillock is, so I've added a Oxford / Cambridge dictionary meaning to my description😂😂 Thanks for feedback See you next time👍👍 Kev
Sadly Kev there's always one! You might want to explain the term "Pillock" to some of your viewers from outside the UK 🤣🤣🤣 Lovely loco 👍👍👍 Cheers, Alan.
Yes Alan, your right and right about explaining, never thought of that, thanks. What about twat or I'm open to suggestions😂 Cheers Kev
Alan I've added the dictionary meaning to my description😂😉👍

Fantastic video!
Thanks for the visit👍👍🚂🚂 appreciate the feedback regards Kev
Hi Kev. I made a bit of a stuff up. I tried to delete one of a dual comment you made for the Banggood power converter review, and accidentally hid your comments. I then deleted you from the "hidden" list, but none of your comments have re-appeared. I don't know how long it takes to restore things again. Can you either comment to that video again or reply to this comment so I can see what's what ? Cheers Rob
no worries Rob these things happen
@@MrFactotum Hi Kev. Thanks for responding. At least I can still see your latest comments. YT has a few quirks. Wouldn't want to lose one of my most valued viewers :). Cheers Rob
Kev, never having owned or driven a steam loco, model or full size, what is the crackling noise coming from your loco, stationary and moving? Sounds a little like cavitation? Is it normal, is it just water boiling? It's not your running gear. I'm ok with petrol and diesel engines, vehicles etc, but not steam 👍
eyup Keith i think the camera zoom mic is zooming in on watery oil from the cylinders thats being spit out and exhausting up the chimney and on to the very hot surfaces and also steam from the safety valves condensing back to water and dropping on to the hot firebox surfaces, it sounds more pronounced on the video due to the mic zooming in on it. Nothing to do with the running gear. Hope that explanation helps thanks for watching and interest😉🚂🚂👍👍👍 cheers Kev
@@MrFactotum yes I didn't think it was the running gear, because it made the same noise when your loco was stationary, but I think your explanation seems plausible to me. i've been watching some of your earlier videos, very good.
@@keithgarland3404 thanks keith👍👍👍👍🚂🚂🚂🚂
What an incredible collection of locomotives Kev 👍👍👍 Both steam and diesel. I can only imagine what the roundhouse must be like with a few of those in steam. Cheers, Alan.
Yes they are a great sight all lined up together Alan👍👍🚂🚂 a great place to visit and they do a very reasonable belly busting full english😄👍🚂 cheers Kev
Lovely Kev 🚂🚂

Glad you enjoyed it thanks for feedback atb Kev
Thank you 👌👍🙏
👍👍👍😉
Thank you for the tips, it was explained well for us 👍. Please could I ask where you get the hose and attachments from please I've just bought the table saw but I didn't get any hoses or attachments with mine so I thought of making some from other bits. Thanks in advance 👌👍🙏
hi thanks for the feedback👍 the hose is from the vacuum i'm using as a dust collector, just adapted to fit the saw. Best to make your own up. it's a budget saw, so not got all the frills, but it's great for the hobbyist. all the best👍👍👍👍👍 regards Kev
Pretty cool place.
yeah Tom Great and on my doorstep, practically🚂🚂😉😉👍👍 appreciate the feedback Tom regards Kev
Hi KEV What a beautiful collection of old locos. It reminds me of the 70s when I was 10 years old and I used to watch these iron giants at the level crossing on my way home from school. Thank you for this video. Bfn Olivier
Happy memories Olivier🚂🚂😉😉👍👍 thanks and hope to see some videos from you. regards Kev
KEV I started machining some parts. Beam axel bearings cranckshaft bearing and frames. I've filmed the machining processes. I'll edit videos later on. BFN Olivier.
The tricky Pedalassistsrnsor has 2 reed relays inside the sensorunit and the controller is expecting the reed relays to close-open in a successive order ! That is one after the other ! In your case the sensor sits the wrong direction ! So what you need to do is disconnect the sensor from its bracket and then fasten it in the opposite direction !
oh, never realised that, its been working okay though since the video, but i will bear any great info in mind. thank you very much for the info appreciated👍👍👍👍👍👍 Kev
