Its a shame people feel the need to add music to things like this. The mechanical noise is as much a 'pull' as the working machinery. Music detracts from the atmosphere the video could actually demonstrate
Go live by the train tracks then. And if they use updated diesel at least you still hear the train cars hitting the loose tracks "thump, thump thump... thump, thump thump". lol
OK you guys; I just remade the steam engine video...this time with no music. Just the sound of the engine & ancillary equipment :-) ruclips.net/video/CdBcYg53DvE/видео.html
Wow, I've seen a lot of stream engines run but never connected to any equipment. THIS is why steam engines were created and THIS is what revolutionized the world!
Markerbuoy - On Canada's Left Coast thank you sir you do the same cheers, by the way it's my son that's been into the steampunk I just wanted you to know that cuz he does not have a smartphone he uses mine .
kenny foster I think the same I think steam died off way to soon Easy to make steam and the power is awesome in a way most things are still steam Power plants Aircraft carriers etc just made differently I look forward to the steam show every year 👍🏻
I agree with you. These machines were impressive in so many ways; they were artfully designed and most were hand fitted, long before mass production techniques were fully developed. I find an operating engine such as this one, to be truly mesmerizing - I can watch for hours. The power and efficiency of steam turbines is testament to their continued use to this day in power plants and other applications as you describe. Thanks for your interest... Best regards, M
dont know what young peoples interests in hotting up car engines and the obsession with ''the faster the better'' im 23 and i just love steam engines, the way they work and run is incredible, could watch them for hours. forget loud turbocharged engines, love the sound of a steam engine running i always look forward to going to shows that have old and replica steam engines on display.
I still feel as an innocent child after viewing these great and beautiful machines.I like to watch this eagerly. The technology came in India very late so we are backward in machines.
I never knew they powered the old textile plants with steam. It is great they restored and continue to maintain this piece of history. Too much has been lost to time and lack of respect.
Thanks. It just floored me to see one engine running all of those looms... an entire plant. It is one thing to read about it but it is something different to actually see it.
The big difference is that "Peace" was installed when Queen Street Mill was built and that over 100 years later it is still driving the same looms it did when it was new, at Trencherfield the mill is now offices, etc. Amazingly Queen Street Mill is not "restored" in the conventional sense because it was running on that engine until the very end in1982 having never converted to electrical motors. To walk into the weaving shed when "Peace" is running and be hit by a wall of sound is highly evocative. It makes you truly understand what our forebears had to put up with in their working lives. Sadly as of the moment (January 2018) the mill is yet again closed and its' future is in doubt - www.pendleheritage.co.uk/2015/11/28/save-queen-street-mill-and-helmshore-mills-sign-petition-here/ .
Thank for watching, George. I just found out that the engine is out of commision for a while; I hope it is nothing serious. Like you, I could watch it run for hours. Mechanical poetry :-) Cheers, M
I see what you mean, however, in this day and age we simply admire & appreciate but we don't have to shovel coal or oil bearings all day! Wonderful to watch and dream (magnificent engineering) but I would not have enjoyed the monotony of working in a mill,steam engine or no steam engine :-( Cheers,
Over 100 years old engine and still in brand new condition and runs just like new. Modern engine are garbage compared to these. These are built to last. These are the engines we should be building.
Ouch! Only on thew very final moments, there is that info stating that there is a reworked version of this video with no music (just the original sounds). I will watch it on that one. Anyway, thank you for this precious video. Greetings from Portugal.
Hey Andy, Unfortunately, gasoline engines are the most convenient form of power for the mass population...but one day it may all end, no? Perhaps electricity will take over some day... Flash steam boilers for vehicles are ready to go in two minutes and have always been an option, but the operator of a steam car has to have some mechanical knowledge & this is the weak link for the majority of people,
I don’t know what a compound engine is, but I can tell you one thing: that’s a Corliss rotary valve system right there, and I couldn’t be more happy seeing it across the pond :)
I agree...so often, only the engine is left. Queen Street Mill is the real deal: well worth a visit should you be over that way. Thanks for watching & commenting. Regards, M
Quite right. In the very early days, not only women but young children were employed in the weaving shed. If you weren't killed or injured before your time, you were at least guaranteed to go deaf. Some consolation! Mechanically, the thing is a marvel. Thank for commenting, M
In an era of planned obsolescence it is a pleasure to witness a machine that will run indefinitely, given prescribed maintenance (like so many others of that era). I drive a ford E150 van that I bought new in 1980...gas mileage is still fine but the body is looking sad...believe me, I'm trying but it will never last as long as Peace :-) Cheers, M
Furniture mills around my area had steam engines that recycled used steam into the dry kilns to dry the lumber. Hale Co. in East Arlington Vt. used theirs to power two Westinghouse ac generators along with belt driven wood working equipment. W.J. Cowee in Berlin N.Y. ( remember your old tinker toy set? ) used their horizontal and vertical steam engines just for generation of electricity.
I was lucky in that I got to see all this equipment in place even though it wasn't running. Younger folks have no concept of these things unless they see it in a museum setting. So sad that so much of history is just scrapped and melted and the knowledge that accompanied it lost to the pages of history. You can never describe the smells of dry kilns or the whir of shapers and tenoners in a furniture plant.
This museum has completely closed now, sadly. The future of the site remains uncertain. Hopefully a museum rust can be formed to get the site up and running again.
Thanks for the info Will, So sad the museum has closed. I can only imagine the cost and perhaps now lost expertise, required to keep the shuttle flying, as it were. Interesting then, that RUclips may keep this and other historical artifacts alive through the modern day magic of archived/permanent digital video. That said, good luck to all involved in potentially establishing a trust to keep history alive at Queen Street mill... Part of my heritage and I assume, yours too! Cheers and thanks again for the update, M
Hey Rob; I'm glad you enjoyed the show :-) Like you, I have always been fascinated by steam engines ever since I was a little kid. Thanks for watching. M
Quite right - even if giant steam engines were still in production, they would be nowhere near as elegant. Over 100 years old and still going strong. Thanks for your interest. M
So true. So you will have to go it alone! We spent a good half day there; the people who run the place are very knowledgeable, friendly and willing to answer any questions. It's a fascinating place and well worth a visit - go for it! Thanks for watching... M
Its a shame people feel the need to add music to things like this. The mechanical noise is as much a 'pull' as the working machinery. Music detracts from the atmosphere the video could actually demonstrate

Part of the reason people love steam engines so much, is the sound. So stop putting music into these vids!
Thanks for the advice. Now I'm wondering what the other 150,000 viewers think :-)

The best thing about steam engines is that they are so, so simple

Absolutely superb! Gave me goosebumps watching. Congratulations to to restoration/maintenance crew.
Seeing that lady with hair that isn't fixed wearing long, loose sleeves, a wrist watch and a ring in that place turns my Shop Safety DEFCON to Level 1
If I'd been working in the days of that engine, I'd happily have spent my entire working time looking after that beautiful machine.
I still feel as an innocent child after viewing these great and beautiful machines.I like to watch this eagerly. The technology came in India very late so we are backward in machines.

Your house is most likely powered with steam, just not via reciprocating piston engines.
