    All the while I was looking at those beautiful steam pumps I was thinking of Fred Dibnah explaining to his viewers how it all worked. I think the Gent did a good job too. A good deal of skill goes into those scale models as well. A good variety of cars and some commercials at this event . Some of those motorbikes were a sight to see, wonderful. Thanks for the video Rick, very well done. 👍👍

    Fabulous engineering, including the amazing scale models. Such a contrast to today's digitised, plastic, throw-away stuff that will never last as long. Loved the two stately Rover P4s and the Chalmers - what a beast! Thanks for a thoroughly enjoyable video!

    Thanks for the education on the huge steam engine pumps. As you showed the equipment my mind went to, "How many gallons of polish do they go through each year to keep the brass and copper shiny?" Those models are also amazing in their detail. I remember stories of a manager at a company I worked for that would write out work orders for the shop to make parts for his scale steam locomotive. He almost had it finished when the owner got drift of it and fired him on the spot. The workers always knew what and who they were for because they looked nothing like the parts they made every day!

    Thank you Richard for another very informative video conducted with gentle humour and a great passion for anything with moving parts. Glad that you seem to be consuming your sandwiches at a reasonable time. Out of interest, have you considered converting the Pilot to 12 volt electrics for a healthier spark and brighter headlamps? Perhaps you already have. Please keep the videos coming, including your excellent informative descriptions of jobs on the fleet.

    Extra informative video with the steam angle. I got to thinking, didn't those old tractors ever come with functional freeze plugs to help ward off cracked blocks?

      @oldclassiccarUK  3 месяца назад

      They may have freeze plugs but there was still a risk of something cracking, thanks for checking it out

    All the nice videos I've watched of yours.I sure don't see many rover cars.I was wondering, are there just not many of them out there? Of course, here in the USA they were never imported. I just always have my eye out for them.Because I have a 1947 Rover 14 Sports saloon.

    • @oldclassiccarUK
      @oldclassiccarUK  3 месяца назад

      Rovers do appear fairly often I thought, not a huge number of P2s or P3s but they are about, one often turns up at a pub meet that we go to

    Good Sir, I'm an American long time subscriber and we've had a bit of banter in the past. I enjoy your videos of shows like these- they are so different yet so alike such meets found in the Eastern USA. And I hope you don't mind my asking, but I specifically would appreciate your opinion. I posted a video yesterday of my list of top 10 pre-WWI British Petrolheads, and I've reached out to a few modern British Petrolheads that I know already but if you have the time and are willing, I would very much appreciate your feedback on that particular topic. Best Regards, Sir. -Wild Bill

    The 3/- stamped on the petrol can was the cost of the can full of petrol, in other words petrol cost 1/6 (7.5p!) per imperial gallon. You would exchange the full can for an empty one, thus the can was “free”.
    Petrol @130p/litre is about eighty times more expensive today!

    • @oldclassiccarUK
      @oldclassiccarUK  3 месяца назад

      It was the returnable deposit on the can, not the cost of the fuel in it. Thanks for watching.

    The fittings on the Fordson rear wheels are, I believe, for extra traction the curved prongs could be moved and locked in the horizontal position to widen the wheel base., PS Should have watched whole video before responding. AJ
