This video is taken around 2003 and i am the fireman in the Navy's with green hat in this video. It is an honour to be in such experience with the famous Ian Woollett as my Sifu and teacher when im in England. Apart from this Ruston Navy, Ian also owns a Sentinel Lorry and Steam Tug "Barking"
I've driven a Grafton crane (converted to diesel) of @ 1932 vintage and I know how this guy driving the Navvy must feel - pleased as punch. It really does take all your concentration too . . . . And you get muscles on your muscles from all that lever pulling :) Thanks for the upload x
what baffles me about these excavators is the little tug it takes to open the bucket! There is a lot of weight on the door catch but a little pull opens it!
One amazing thing about these is how quiet they operate, apart from the clanking and rattling, which applies to all such machines, steam powered or not.
Working with steam is relativly quiet as for function However with certain equipent the exhausting noise can be kool but can make a bark out the stack of Boiler...lol. Love hearing a restored piece work like meant and barking out the stack . brings back a by gone era the sound.

What more can a man wish, than playing with a real size steam toy.😊
Good too see these machines that were lucky enough to escape the cutters torch so many ended that way!
The navy's navvy they use to load naval oranges is navy blue.
