Any documentary, or travelogue by Guy Martin is marvellous and his world records are epic and so varied. Well done fellas
Especially his lesser known series about
The world's most iconic engines
Awesome series
If I knew I wouldn't get a strike or block I'd have reacted to this A Long Long Long time ago. Love Guy Martin. Dude's born out of time I think
As someone primarily raised by the war time generation, my whole world was filled with men like Guy and Fred, permanently dirty and donned in greasy boiler suit, being creative and clever. Being dragged around yards, sat building stuff in sheds and garages. I loved it as i was always given the job of making a fire and keeping it going, then being allowed to cook stuff on it, always took my toasting fork. Watching these programmes takes me back to happy days.
Salt of the earth, humble, curious, genuine. Guy is the guy lol
You know you were born in the good old days when every man you knew was rocking boilersuits.
It’s amazing how this down to earth fella has a knack for turning his hand to pretty much anything and actually excelling at it 🥰
The Last Flight of The Vulcan Bomber XH558 is a particular favourite programme of mine with Guy . So many great series to delve into as well as individual programmes . A rabbit hole you will love .
Funny that, I watched some of 'The boat that Guy built' the other day and thought he was doing a Dibnah!
Top bloke Guy, can't get better!
Guy has a load of world records but the record he is most proud of is that he has put hundreds of lorry tractor units through his local Ministry of Transport testing centre without a single fail. The testing centre has a reputation for really strict.
As others have said everything this man has done on TV is worth watching.Thanks for watching this type of thing you also seem to take great pleasure from it.
Guy Martin is, as the brits would say, a top bloke. So laid back and genuine, and endlessly curious about the world. You cannot go wrong with anything he's in.
Top Gear wanted to get him on their "Star in a Reasonably Car" segment, and he refused because he doesn't consider himself a celebrity. He's not only a top bloke, he's a top Guy innit.
Guy Martin is also a competitor in the Isle of Man TT
If you do another one of this serious I would suggest the one where they restore a Spitfire.
You want to listen to Guy Martin recall when he purchased, in real life, a Rolls Royce Merlin engine from a Spitfire. It is basically an effing great engine, with an aircraft propeller on wheels. Guy recalls has it came with instructions not to rev it to the max. But Guy being Guy thought such safety nonsense was for whimps. So he managed to disconnect the safety limits. He revs it more and more, till it takes off INSIDE HIS HOUSE !! The propeller slicing its way through a staircase and a wall ! Then he giggles as he recalls his wife have him a damn good roasting ! A funnier sketch you won't find. You have to watch it. Guy tells the story far better than me. It is in RUclips.
Being a fantastic motorbike racer and multi world record holder and not scared to try anything. I have met him a couple of times at bike races and he is an absolute lovely guy to talk to.
5:35 All railways started as a system of conveying freight usually materials from mines to factories. Small individual disconnected branches that later got joined up. Finally a passenger service was introduced with the development of the system. In the UK railways came on the back of canals which again were industrial enterprises.
i love all guy martin's videos. he has an amazing infectious enthusiasm. couple that with being a down to earth, working man, makes him fascinating in my opinion.
When diesel / electric engines were introduced they had to install an over/hob for the driver's use in the cab
Apart from Steam Locomotives in regular rotational overhaul there are about 50 locomotives that are candidates for full restoration to running order
You kneed to watch him rebuilding a spitfire if you haven't seen already.
i live 2 miles from guy in north lincolnshire he often comes into the town were i live he uses the hardware store often see him on his mountain bike in the summer hes a bloody legend and extremley clever and rides a motorbike like a pro what more can you say about guy he loves his cups of yorkshire tea 😁
The Severn valley railway is local to me i took my 4 year old on the Christmas special train and he loved it ....nice to have this heritage in my home town
I am part of a team, at Bo'ness, that has been doing a heavy overhaul of Std 4 Tank 80105 since 2014. I cannot see much of an overhaul in 5 months. With any luck 80105 should be back in traffic this summer. A boiler washout even on a heritage railway should be every month, not annually.
Guy Martin lives just down the road for me. Have met him a couple of times and he's just as you see him here. He also fixes one of my friends trucks.
Been on the Severn Valley Railway where this steam train was restored many times. It’s a beautiful journey and how epic that we still get to see these trains restored back to their former glory and working. You can’t compare the modern trains of today with these beauties. It’s a privilege and an experience to ride on them.
My guys!! So glad you've finally found Guy. Absolute legend.
You wanna see him and his Merlin engine. Guy is a legend boys.
I live not far from Bridgnorth Station. Its a great day to see, hear and smell the engines.
Our Guy in Japan is my favourite. Great show.
Oh nice! I have this on my watch list, thank you guys (as always)
Brilliant!
I am old enough to remember travelling on those steam trains and one never forgets that smell that drifted through the open window .Life in general was taken at a slower pace and i remember single events that would today look strange such as the manner in which people would react to a normal funeral cortege passing when policemen would salute and men would remove their hats and limbless soldiers of WW1 could still be seen, my next door neighbour had a metal plate in his head from WW1.The point i'm making is it could almost have been another planet compared to today.
This is a great series to watch The boat that guy built . He makes alsorts for his narrow boat . He's a great character
Guy is never happier than when he's covered in grime and dirt , and never shy's away from manual graft .🇬🇧
Guy in Japan are a great watch, the Craftsmen there fall in love with him, and it shows that skilled process has no language.
Love Guy Martin a Special Guy 😂 thanks for enjoying this I will be watching this with pleasure with you Both! Not a Sub but have been watching you guys for 2 years or more.
The Severn Vally Railway runs from Bridgenorth to Kidderminster,the film The Railway Children was filmed on this line and the station at Chelmarsh is were you see in one part of it.I went to school at Chelmarsh and volenterd for a little while to learn about the railway and loved getting all sooted up lol as it kepped every one at bay lol
Guys, The Pogues did a great song called Navigator. You should check it out.
The difference between Guy and Fred is that Fred already knew how the industrial revolution worked and had the traditional skills and machinery in his garden sheds. In addition he was a skilled draughtsman. But Guy is a good successor.
Thank you, guys. It's absolutely brilliant to see Guy Martin doing his Dibneh. 😊 oops, that sounds a bit wrong. 😅
I love that you too really enjoy watching this kind of documentary as I have from being a small girl here in Britain. My dad was an engineer, aircraft designer in WW2, draughtsman, Artist, Consultant PetroleumEngineer and maker of my dolls house and a lot of our furniture!❤. I think of him when I see these programs. He wld have loved them.
The British seem to have a huge love affair with steam trains, there are several dozen heritage railways in the UK, some of them are entirely unique, and run through some wonderful scenery, and predominantly run by unpaid volunteers.
Great to see Millennium guys appreciating a solid days graft
I think the fact about trains and time is that before trains, everything happened so slowly, beyond day and night, time didn't matter. To quote "In the mid 19th century, the stagecoach from London to Edinburgh took three or four days". So hours and minutes mattered little, just what day you got there.
Have already watched on Patreon but watching again now 😂 so glad to see you doing Guy Martin’s stuff after I’ve been recommending it for a hood 2 years or so. You’ll love all of it
Don't forget that's 10 UK pints...so thats really 12 US pints! Legendary grafters. Think the contemporary equivalent would be scaffolders! Great clip lads - keep going. 😃
I have a watch that is set 7 minutes in advance to showcase the original time to where I live. Being early for meetings and such is never a problem. The Railways made it easier but I love the historic impact of it. As Al Murray says, we tell the Germans when it's time to sit down for dinner 😂
The narrator is the actor who played the captain in the film the TITANIC ,BERNARD HILL .
He’s actually pretty good at most things he tries. There’s a brilliant more recent sequence here he visits a samurai sword maker in Japan.
I used to work on th P way, which is the track laying. I left 35 years ago. Believe me you would graft on a possession. You'd have a 12 hour possession of the track normally from 12 midnight on a Sunday morning. Till as late as 1 Sunday afternoon, and we'd lay some length of rail. We had a advantage of the rail being dropped off, and a tamper to force the balast under the sleepers. But we'd shovel the balast. There is nothing harder to shovel than large misshapen stones.
It's easy to forget the badly injured navvies, who in remote spots could not simply dial for a paramedic assistance. No compensation from employers or national social assistance. Being mostly from Ireland they were financially stranded.
🇬🇧 Norfolk : his spitfire engine and his world records are a great watch 😊
Now that is how TV should be.
Guy on Left and Guy on Right - Lol, that's perfection, so funny.
Love you both, your both really great and have sub for many months now.
Your the best American duo that reacts to things.
Guy Martin and his Rolls Royce Aircraft engine is a must , and when he beats the world record on the biggest wall of death ...
I remember steam trains going past my home when I was a little boy, yes I'm that old.
I was really lucky one holiday. I'd gone with the family to the Carnforth railway museum abd as it was a horrible rainy day we went round the trains in the sheds. Sticking out among them was a lime green tender which was attached to the Flying Scotsman(look it up) I was into the cab like a rat up a drainpipe sitting I the drivers leather seat running my hands all over the beautiful polished brass levers and wheels. I was a kid again
That was my bucket list moment😊
Steam trains are so popular in Britain now there's half a dozen brand new ones currently being built.
My great uncle Arthur was a sign writer at GWR Swindon works.
I was in engineering for most of my life and tolerances of + or - 1/2 a thousands of an inch were common. Office staff never realised how tight this was , I once showed someone by putting a ground steel plug into a bore I had machined, it gradually descended millimetre by millimetre taking 10 minutes or so to fall 10 inches. Love Guy.
loved your reaction to Guy and also to those who are managing to keep the old skills going. It certainly brough t back some good memories for myself as i was 4th generation at a place called Lambtons engine works that used to service the coal industry in the north east of the uk .the work included overhauling steam locos as seen in the programme, theres even an N C B training film featuring the place with a glimpse of my own father fitting side rod bearings , as for working to fine tolerances i still have my spirit level that has 1/2 thousand of an inch divisions for use on winding engines . I still miss it
7000 miles of train track in a country slightly smaller in land mass than the state of Oregon is pretty impressive 😄👍
If you are going down the rabbit hole of Guy Martin, you should do a reaction to Guy Martin's Spitfire, Guy Martin's Vulcan Bomber, Guy Martin's Lancaster Bomber and Guy Martin's Battle of Britain. He also did a series called 'The Boat that Guy Built', where he renovated a narrow boat.
Britain was the epicenter of the industrial revolution. The railways and steam locomotives came out of the need to move goods quickly, we invented the railways and exported them around the world. Carrying passengers was an afterthought for the railways in Britain, they had taken this over from the canals. The ports of America, were actually largely built up by Britain and other European colonizers, to move goods such as Cotton, that were not found naturally within Europe.. The gauge of track used on American Railroads is 4 ft 8 and a half inches, the same as the gauge used on the Stockton and Darlington Railway, the worlds first railway. The first steam locomotive imported to the US, the 'Stourbridge Lion', was built in England by the Foster, Rastrick, and Company in 1829. Fun fact, Beer and Ale were drunk, as they were considered a safer alternative to the risk of drinking contaminated water. It was not strong in alcohol, but the process of making it into alcohol meant it was 'safe' to drink. On comparison, in the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad, it is estimated that 1,200 laborers were killed. The Great Western Railway introduced 'Railway time' to standardise its timetable as well as prevent railway accidents. At the end of 1970, the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, America's first railway company, operated 5,552 miles of road and 10,449 miles of track. The Station Master, was head of the manor as it were at the station and the village/ town/ city it served. If you wanted to get the right train or get your manufactured goods sent out on time, it helped to be on the right side of the Station Master. In his/ her position, the Station Master had a knowledge of working timetables and contacts throughout the railway network. He or She supervised the staff working at the station, which depending on size of the station could be a huge number or small amount of staff. In the same way it took engine cleaners up to twenty years to be a qualified train driver, a Station Master had gone through a long-serving apprenticeship to reach that position. Station Master was not the limit of their career though, they could go on to manage multiple small stations or a large station within the area, before getting into upper management within the railways. Crewe Locomotive Works, which was one of the biggest in the UK, was knocking out one locomotive every three days.
its funny about just over 40 years ago i was standing at the entrance to that very yard and that loco was in steam in front of me,, i asked the driver if i could have a look and he beckoned me into the cab,,, he then drove into the yard and along the line letting me off about 5 minutes later,,, never forgot it,,,,
Everyone loves guy Martin
An earlier series of equal quality he forges a samurai... its feckin epic boys well worth a reaction
Exactly what I’m talking about in my comment.
James may goes to see the same guy in Japan, and the difference between what he is allowed to do is amazing.
My Dad was a train driver, he started at 14 in 1944 as a firebox cleaner, then was a fireman (the guy who shovelled the coal into the firebox) for 7 years before becoming a driver until he retired in 1993, I have my Dad's old watch which looks just like the one in the show and I wish it was worth Daniel's estimate of $20k, mine was valued at £400. Guy is a top bloke though, he's made some awesome shows.
"250,000. You wouldn't get them in a phone box!" - Brilliant! 🤣🤣
Having done rail changes for a time what he didnt mention when your a newbie was when picking out the ballast witb a pick youd forgotten you leg was otherside and crack your shin youd only do it once.
Or hit your ankle hitting keys in 😅
Packing i hated using a shovel to pack the ballast under the sleeper. Particularly if you had a hangover
Guy Martin rocks!
Guy Martin works at a lorry garage on an industrial estate on the outskirts of Grimsby North East Lincolnshire, he lives in a village in North Lincolnshire. Guy made a car programme set in a garage here in Grimsby. He has set numerous records. He is a former TT rider. He is to Grimsby what Fred Dibnah was to Bolton. He owns a pub in a village in North Lincolnshire. There is a tv series called Oh Dr Beeching set at a railway station in the 1960s at the time Dr Beeching was closing stations.
You need to watch Guy Martin's Record Breaking Nürburgring Lap in a van
I've been to a heritage line like this one in my own county called the Battlefield Line at Shackerstone in Leicestershire, I rode a train of classic rolling stock pulled by a saddle engine called Sir Gomer. It was a nice day out. :)
There is a YT on the building of two new Steam Locomotives in Sheffield, South Yorkshire occurring at present.
Guy likes to get his hands dirty. Ask how to do and get in and have a go. Watched all of his Docs. Love it. Fred was also just like him. Enjoy the rest from Guy.
You really need to react to 'Guy Martins Prized Possession'. It's only q couple of minutes but is fantastic.
Brilliant series great man x
Am Shropshire based and remember going to the Severn Valley Railway as a kid to meet Thomas the Tank Engine haha.
900th like 😊.
Really enjoyed this one!! I love how Guy get stuck in and grafts!!
Mass produced Trains shipped around the Empire from England to India, Australia and any country that wanted a railway, there are locomotive units still in working order all over the globe.
35 years on the railway. 22 as a driver. I was a submariner before that. I have no idea what a normal job is like.
We need a "salt of the earth" counter for this series too xD
The 10 Pints of Beer would be strong ale, with lots of calorific food value, and they would be sweating it out about as fast as they could drink it.
FYI Heh guys the 120 year old railway watches sold at auction in 2022 mostly only a few hundred pounds most expensive was £3200.00. Glad you are looking at Guy he is awesome. Guy in Japan one of my favourites.
im a Swindon boy, how we miss the BR factory and even the Honda europe factory
Wow. Thank you both. I never knew before that Guy Martin was a homie of mine. Lincolnshire, UK. Wiki says that he was named after Guy Gibson. RAF hero and very well-known in my area. I had a childhood dog named after Guy Gibson's dog. Very UN-PC name nowadoays :o)
Great watch
Wait until you see him restoring a Spitfire plane.
I know you enjoy Guy, and what he does, could I recommend, not to review, but he did a podcast on chasintheracin , with crissy Rouse, who sadly is no longer with us, and Dom Herbert's, episode 128, I guarantee you will enjoy it. It will give you a side of Guy not many see. I would recommend subtitles if you do not understand the accents. What he has achieved is amazing
Love listening to
Check out Guy's world records
.
GWR Great Western railway (known by those who loved it as Gods Wonderful Railway)
Or, by those who prefer other companies, Great Western Rubbish!
Regarding GMT, every 15 degrees West lost an hour and 15 degrees East add an hour eg New York 5 hours behind GMT.
Watch the one where he recreated a WW1 tank with the help of JCB !!!!
I know its unlikely my comment will have any attention but how have you not discovered Brian blessed yet, he's a force of nature, he was the oldest man to go to the north Pole, he's punched a polar bear, had a fight with the sultan and he hosted a episode of have I got new for you completely turning it on its head and I think its the UKs favourite episode lol😂 please please please check him out
You should check out his Guy Martin in Russia, China and India documentaries good for a laff and interesting.
Guy Martin's Lost WW2 Bomber | Channel 4... maybe you should check this out too guys
To learn more about Navigational Engineers 'Navies'. . . Look up QIs bit about 'Who built Britains Railways'.
steam is how alot of ships STILL work. even nuclear vessels do the same thing, the generator makes the heat
You should check out "Our Guy in Japan"...he really got involved in stuff
Guy was on TV year's before making Close to the edge..
If you haven't already check out his series SPEED, there are some good episodes, including some in the states (Pike's Peak and a high speed time trial in Arizona ?)
For me I tend to automatically think of The Railway Children when I see steam trains
Depending on the time period the beer was one of the only safe forms of drinking water
Bristol still has a clock with an extra hand for "Bristol Time"
Check out Speed series! Guy Martin at his best!
Glad you enjoyed Guy. You are right he is the new Fred Dibnah. But he is crazy. If you want to see how crazy he is try Guy Martin does the biggest Wall of Death in the world. It is mad and he did it after a massive crash on a motor bike in , I think ,the Ulster (Northern Ireland )Gp.He is well crazy
Fred or Thomas, quality 😂😂 ❤
Look at his rebuild of a WA1 tank
