      My nephew caught a chain on the chin. No beard.
      After they filled in a few gaps in his jaw with some bone from his hip, and a few fake teeth, he now always wears a safety beard. But I believe the intent is mostly cosmetic.

    A mate of mine was working next to a tensioned winch wire. It was running across the deck at a height of about 3 inches. The wire gave way and the resulting whip back smashed both his ankles. Took him a long time to walk again. So when I see foolish people standing next to tensioned chains or wires, it grates. They have no concept of what they are dealing with. I loved the film, it was brilliant. Great to see Adam and friend repairing the Chieftains over there.

      1:
      The sound of a winch cable popping and creaking while being in proximity (i very quickly was not)
      And 2:
      hearing a "tap" from my freshly rebuilt bottom end. (Turns out, was my oil pickup saying hello to the end cap. Little bendy-bendy and she way right as rain!)

    Union Pacific restored a Big Boy and it's up and running and does regular trips for the public. There were 24 built and the one running is # 4014 which was the best one left in preservation, situated in a railway museum in California. Work started in 2013 and took around 6 years to complete. Apparently there are 8 out of the 24 left and another Big Boy restoration is being considered.

    It is a very long time ago now, but I remember as a young 20 ish year old I spent some time on a working cattle ranch in Wyoming. For a place with no NHS and a three hour if lucky drive to the nearest hospital predominately off road on dirt roads, the approach to health and safety could be sketchy at best, add in lots of guns, it was was quite a cultural shock, that trip was a pivotal moment in my life, I still remember those days and will never forget those few weeks.

I’ve owned and restored a LOT of MV’s since 93 and I can’t do that hobby any longer due to injuries from my 26 years in the Army having more of an impact now that I’m nearly 59. I actually owned and restored 4 M-561 Gama Goats, for some reason I came across some excellent deals in 94 then in 98. I’ve done some amazing things in my time with people I know but I never got into owning armored vehicles, mainly because I moved a lot and it’s not so easy moving those beasts, I did come close when a Bren Gun Carrier came up for sale for $3,500 and it had an engine from a Pinto and an automatic transmission but after a lot of thinking and test drives, I passed, I think David Wang got it along with the Dingo armored car that was for $5,000. The ones I liked the most was the M-151A2 and M-1009 and I used to drive them to work now and then while I was a Recruiter.

    That is one sexy tank! I got to sit in one as a kid. There was a military display in Brighton UK, (I live in Cheyenne WY now 🤔) and the crew were nice enough to pick me up and put me in the turret. Must have made an impression, as I ended up having a 25 year military career.

    What surprises me about the chieftain is that the British army went with 120 mm gun while a lot of other western countries back in those early days mainly used 105 mm as their main gun the chieftain certainly had advantage in fire power

    At risk of being uber-nerdy, it should be pointed out that despite the popular belief the UP 4-8-8-4 "Big Boys" were not the largest steam locomotives ever built, no matter how you measure them. They were not the heaviest, nor the longest, nor the most powerful, but they were undoubtedly very big and very wonderful. It is however said that theoretically a Big Boy's boiler would fit inside the boiler of an C&O or Virginian Allegheny 2-6-6-6. It is absolutely true however the Big Boy 4014 is the largest, heaviest and most powerful operational steam locomotive in the world.
    Another great video, perfect blend of fun, fact and humour. Keep up the good work!
