That's me at 4:59 in the blue jumper! It was a good show, exhausting but a good day. Apparently the Saturday was much busier according to club members who were there both days - You may have seen my Polly as well on the same stand (:
It was a real pleasure to meet you in person at Harrogate and thanks for showing my Fowler traction engine on the Tyneside model engineers stand. Please continue with your great workshop videos don’t change the unique features of your presentation it’s tremendous
Thanks Brian, much appreciated, and it was fantastic to meet you too! Your Fowler was magnificent, I do have a soft spot for fowlers, rail and road!! All the best, Matt. 👍
@@MattChiversWorkshop I watch hours of old cine films and video`s of the steam age. My old school was by a railway embankment watching 9Fs on heavy freight and double headers of lighter steam loco`s. I also go to the Llandudno transport festival. I was also lucky to be able to work across Europe for eight years. One day by accident i came across the "Technik Museum" Sinsheim. I always stayed a short distance away and had two days to wander around the place. Once a year is the live steam working engine railway locomotives small gauge exhibition. Watching, listening, smelling steam power is not something you get with a computer or a mobile.
Hi Joe, I went on the Friday and I think the snow had put a lot of visitors off, from what I was told it was extremely busy on the Saturday. All the best, Matt.
Wow‼️‼️ If I had 1$ (AU…. That’s about tuppence ha’penny anywhere else 🤣🤣), for every hour spent on the models shown…. I could probably buy out Bill Gates 🤣🤣🤣 Great video presentation too Matt 👏 Regards Robert ( Sydney, Australia)
All of this just make me wonder, how did someone discover that they can use boiling water a power source that will light the fuse to an entire era of industrializing and technological innovation. And later peoples will be admiring the work and discoveries made by others to come up with amazing inventions.
Read _The Discoverers_ by Daniel Boorstin. It's essentially a history of science. The power of steam was know to (literally) the ancients when they saw rocks explode in fire. They used that effect to mine ore. (Actually I don't recall exactly how the book covers steam but it has to be there.) Excellent vid, thanks Matt!
@@jimbarchuk thanks for the recommendation. I do remember reading somewhere that the ancient romans used it as a toy and nothing more. Just think about how advanced we could be if they used it to its fullest potential.
not only are these inventions amazing, they also managed to get these magnificent machines super efficient in there use of steam. Rather fantastic stuff. All the best, Matt 👍
What I realized about expos: People love seeing partially finished projects just as much as finished ones.
Greetings from Detroit. 🇺🇲
Hi Marty, Absolutely, there is something fascinating about a half finished model and being able to see how its constructed. All the best, Matt. 👍

Hi Ed, Yes by the time we got back we was exhausted. I also heard the Saturday was very busy. All the best, Matt.
Remarkable models beautifully filmed.
Good to see our portable railway club track featured, next time you see us say hello and come and have a drive.
Hi Colin, I will indeed! Looked good fun. All the best, Matt 👍
Thanks for taking the time to make and upload a very informative video.

There were two Fowlers on the stand, which was yours Brian?
@@union310 mine was the black one, a Fowler A7 agricultural engine in 3” scale 👍
@@briannicholls187 Very nice it was, an MJ design machine.
5:17 i've never seen a locomotive like that, i like it!
i searched it up and it is a class b74 or something like that, so cool! first time seeing it
Yeah I’ve not seen one before either, new one to me too! All the best, Matt 👍
Besides being engineering models, they are works of art, best in the world.
Absolutely 👍! Some incredibly talented Model Engineers. All the best, Matt

Thanks for that I wasn’t able to visit this year 😀
Your very welcome. Glad you enjoyed it. All the best, Matt
Excellent video. Worryingly there seems to be more models than visitors.

Saturday was manic, hopefully back to the show it always was
The Lion steam locomotive is a little serie model?
Not sure what you mean there? They where hand made if thats what you mean. All the best, Matt
Wow‼️‼️

Thank Jim, Much appreciated.
Anyone know if it's on for 2024?
You’d have thought an announcement at Midlands would have been perfect for promotion!! 🤷🏻♂️.
Great movie, I subscribed your very interesting channel! Cheers Fabrizio
Thank you 👍
