Seeing "her" engine running had to make your wife-mate very happy. You've done so much with all of those engines but I think this one was a great "gift" back to her for buying it for you. What you two have is priceless! Looking forward to more videos as you progress with your restorations.
Morning Jonathan!! All I can say is WOW!!! you & your family are creating a working museum that will educate generations to come!! Extremely cool!! I definitely will take a road trip soon, Praying your place will be one of my many destinations!!
Thanks Jon that was a real Easter treat. Every one of those engines, the bases and buildings represent a fantastic accomplishment. Hat's off to you, I wish I could do a tenth of what you do. All the best, Mart in England.
The new shed with the big engines all lined up inside is going to be fantastic. I keep saying the day when every working engine is running at the same time off that big boiler is going to be a real treat to see. This episode was almost like that! We're getting closer! Thanks for your channel!
Thank you Jonathan what you have been able to do with all the engines is astounding, especially considering everything you have done yourself… part building, building building, sawmill, crane.. amazing
It was nice seeing that engine your wife gave you working again. It's amazing the power they have to move all that metal around. You are doing great saving and running these engines. Have a Great Day!
I love the skeleton sitting on the bumper of the Franklin. I would not be surprised to see Jonathan come home one day with a small steam locomotive and some track.
That boiler was well worth the effort! It's so cool listening to the engines run with my eyes closed focusing on all the individual sounds. It's kinda relaxing!
Keep up the good work, I’ve seen old steam engines sitting in fields all rusty, no body doing nothing with it, it’s cool your bringing them back to life
Scott from cold war motors really hit the nail on the head by describing you as feerless. Congrats on all the progress you’ve made. Each one these machines is a work of art.
Great video Johnathon awsom. Thank you wonderfully done . All the engines running very amazing I love to see anything you post. Especially the steam engines it's different way different from anything else on RUclips. You are very knolgageable about a lot of things people really learn a lot watching your videos stuff they would not see any where else thank you very mutch love your videos can't wait for till you post agine love your family and Nana the cat. ❤
You certainly done a amazing job on these old steam engines I’m really happy for you that’s a incredible achievement you’ve done here cheers and as always keep up the amazing work
Would love to see you build a steam powered line & pulley machine shop with a motor back up or getting hold of a Frick circular sawmill run on steam powered with motor back up so you can us them without fire up. Got feeling your gonna end up with alot of visitors one day once you retire maybe
I have a squirrel that we found in the yard when it was a baby. Best pet I’ve ever had. You wouldn’t think of a squirrel as affectionate but it comes and sits in my lap so he can get his head rubbed and under his chin like a cat. I’ve hunted squirrels but don’t think I could shoot one again.
Like you, I watched those same episodes with some sadness when Jonathan was saying "This engine will likely never see any steam". So HAPPY and entertained to see it turn out this way !!! ;o)
Still amazes me that you have steam engines made in my home town, and there is no evidence there was ever any heavy manufacturing ever being done on that site (most of you al have seen my video of the area). And it was done there for almost 100 years. Schofield and Taylor works were next to each other, eventually Schofield got absorbed by Taylor. Apparently families joined too... Good work man!
If Fred Dibnah is looking down from above he would be very pleased to see a like minded person is carrying on keeping machinery like this ALIVE !! . Thanks Jonathan
With all of the other gentlemen passing on buying that engine because of the missing parts, it's like that engine was meant for you. Nice to see it running again. 👍
Wow !! Can only imagine the satisfaction you must experience when you have steam up and all of these mechanical wonders are humming and "hissing" along at once. I have experienced multiple times ghe satisfaction of getting a internal combustion engine running again after total rebuilds or major "fixit" challenges. That would amount to a "fraction" of what you have achieved here !!! Sooooo nice that your wife takes such a positive part in your passion !!! That one you have started painting looks like it's going to be a real "GEM" !!! 👍👍👍👍🔧⚙🛠🗜🍺😉
Awesome, plan to be in the US in 25 would love to visit Jonathons steam shed! Loved steam since I saw my first working steam engine at the age of 4 or 5 !
As Always a great show, i now rate JW No1 youtube channel, Honest, Hardworking man, No fancy gizmos or tricks, what you see is what you get without BullShit too glorify everything, hello Nina puss, good cat!!
Thanks for the upload, Steam is amazing and stands the test of time. Appreciate all the hard work you do and whoever else helps to keep this alive :) We had a steam museum that closed down and its probably 30 years and the land is privately owned but the knowledge required to get it back up and running isn't cheap or isn't around anymore.
This channel remains among the coolest ever. Jonathan (w/ his supportive family, friends and cat) is a national treasure. Hopefully, a 3rd personal asst fan will forward his videos to some plutocrat billionaire who might me moved to anonymously buy JW a steam train. Project or not he’s goin to get it running.
A local antique mall once had the complete set of patterns for casting a large bell. For some reason the seller decided to sell individual pieces rather than the whole set at once.
👍👌👏 There is really not much more to say than: Oh WOW, simply fantastic! And, as always: Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards, luck and health in particular. To all of you of course (including the animals).
Jonathan you amaze me,i am 78 years old and have met many people that impressed me with their abilities but never anyone at your level ,thank you for all your videos and wish you and your loved ones a very Happy Easter!
Regarding the squirrel - My experience, they make a nice pet until mature, at that point they’ll go back on their own choosing to the wild. Nice work on the collection. The Franklin will fit right in.
Great video content. Like you, I'm always happiest when I'm doing something I really enjoy. Something that peaks my interest. Looking forward to seeing more on your channel. Thanks again for your time today and enjoy the rest of your weekend.
This is fantastic. I think it is really important. It would be nice to see these engines doing work. That would be another huge effort, but maybe someday you could have them all turning generators and start measuring how much electricity they can make. How about charging up a Tesla car, call it the world's first wood-fired automobile? Spectacular. Best wishes, Jonathan. You're someone special. Oh, and I'd like to see governors spinning on all of these old engines. Maybe you'll develop a big enough market for them that someone will start mass-producing them again. I wonder if the mechanisms could be 3D printed.
old Bud Kittelson learnt me up on the Loctite trick back when i was a tadpole, he used to repair cracked diesel cylinder heads with the stuff, it works pretty great, should work with your oiler, if not, you were going to R&R the thing anyway
Jonathan you have things looking Awesome. I was so ready for you to fire it up. You have added to it since the last time I saw it. I'm still playing catch up with everyone. Btw Nana is just like sometimes she's bored with machinery an other times it's more interesting when your doing something or about to do something. Generally a few head rubs an scratches an she happy. She just helps to make everything. Take Care of you and yoursan tell Nana to leave them poor Animals alone. Thanks for sharing.
It's all looking so nice and such a great part of history to share with us. Thank you Jonathan for all you do.👍🇺🇸

Thanks for your channel!
I love steem engine videos my self 63 grew up in Indiana commercial Garage working on everything with my Dad
Thank you, Jonathan, for your dedication to preserving steam history. Loved seeing all those old engines turning under steam power!
Well done Jonathan !!!! You are the best !!! All the best, Richard from England.
It is good to see the old engines running again!
Thank you Jonathan what you have been able to do with all the engines is astounding, especially considering everything you have done yourself… part building, building building, sawmill, crane.. amazing
It was nice seeing that engine your wife gave you working again. It's amazing the power they have to move all that metal around. You are doing great saving and running these engines. Have a Great Day!
Came for the engine, stayed for the squirrel 😂
Just makes me smile every time one of them engines start up! Many thanks Johnathon!
I just love these old engine’s. I built a couple scale models over the years but these things are works of art, I am envious.
Thanks Jonathan for all of your very hard work to get these old live Steam engines running...👍
l am an Old Navy Flying Shoe🇺🇸
What a beautiful collection of engines.
I love the skeleton sitting on the bumper of the Franklin. I would not be surprised to see Jonathan come home one day with a small steam locomotive and some track.
That's awesome it's great to see them old engines run keep up the good work can't wait till the next one
Great work! But please don't hurt yourself with those engines! Thanks for the video!
Good Friday, April 7, 2023. Thank you Jonathan.
Thanks for the video above average as usual, all the best wishes from New Zealand. 😊
That was simply fantastic. What a collection!
I loved the car videos but steam engines have always mesmerized me....could watch them run all day. Lots of great history there.
That boiler was well worth the effort! It's so cool listening to the engines run with my eyes closed focusing on all the individual sounds. It's kinda relaxing!
Keep up the good work, I’ve seen old steam engines sitting in fields all rusty, no body doing nothing with it, it’s cool your bringing them back to life
Scott from cold war motors really hit the nail on the head by describing you as feerless. Congrats on all the progress you’ve made. Each one these machines is a work of art.
Fine job Conservator. I patch holes in galv. roofing with aluminum duct tape - been on for 20 years. That boiler does good to run so many pieces.
You are one of a kind ~this sure beats a stamp collection, coins, baseball cards . . .
Congratulations. Those pieces of square key stock spinning around and sticking out look scary.
Beautiful! Well done Jonathan.
Great video Johnathon awsom. Thank you wonderfully done . All the engines running very amazing I love to see anything you post. Especially the steam engines it's different way different from anything else on RUclips. You are very knolgageable about a lot of things people really learn a lot watching your videos stuff they would not see any where else thank you very mutch love your videos can't wait for till you post agine love your family and Nana the cat. ❤
I'm glad you had a good day! Thanks for bringing us along.
They all look real good buddy,
This is exciting to see it all coming together and hearing them all work😊
,,,A LITTLE FINE TUNING AND OLD IRON COMES BACK TO LIFE, GOOD JOB, KEEP SAFE...
Oooo-weee, right on 🤘! Haha, Nana cat is the yard cat or the Cat -scanner and you the Hoss -cat! Right on Jonathan, right on 👍🤘✌️
You certainly done a amazing job on these old steam engines I’m really happy for you that’s a incredible achievement you’ve done here cheers and as always keep up the amazing work
I love the action of the valve eccentrics!
I think those engines are really glad you found them and that you have the skills to bring them back to running condition. Congrats.
Would love to see you build a steam powered line & pulley machine shop with a motor back up or getting hold of a Frick circular sawmill run on steam powered with motor back up so you can us them without fire up. Got feeling your gonna end up with alot of visitors one day once you retire maybe
As a boy I had a squirrel that that would ride in my pocket and sit on my shoulder. They don't urinate and their feces is dry. They are calm. Perfect.
I have a squirrel that we found in the yard when it was a baby. Best pet I’ve ever had. You wouldn’t think of a squirrel as affectionate but it comes and sits in my lap so he can get his head rubbed and under his chin like a cat. I’ve hunted squirrels but don’t think I could shoot one again.
I remember when you got that first engine.
Did you ever think you would have so many running and on display?
Thanks for sharing.
Like you, I watched those same episodes with some sadness when Jonathan was saying "This engine will likely never see any steam". So HAPPY and entertained to see it turn out this way !!! ;o)
Wow , Jonathan, really nice display of buildings with steam power ! I am putting that on my bucket list to visit and film one day !
Still amazes me that you have steam engines made in my home town, and there is no evidence there was ever any heavy manufacturing ever being done on that site (most of you al have seen my video of the area). And it was done there for almost 100 years. Schofield and Taylor works were next to each other, eventually Schofield got absorbed by Taylor. Apparently families joined too... Good work man!
I love seeing your guest, Nanna, making an appearance on your show. She's a real nice kitty inspector.
If Fred Dibnah is looking down from above he would be very pleased to see a like minded person is carrying on keeping machinery like this ALIVE !! . Thanks Jonathan
Hi jonathan great to see it running an glad to hear your having fun with them . Thanks for the video cheers mate 🇦🇺
Wish I lived nearby - I'd love to see, hear and smell them running.
With all of the other gentlemen passing on buying that engine because of the missing parts, it's like that engine was meant for you. Nice to see it running again. 👍
🗿 Thanks for sharing Johnathan. Your vids has been my source for entertainment, and so much more. Appreciate Ya👍
That 10hp upright, sounds good 🌘🌒
What a great thing to do saving history for the future , too interesting most of your engines have a story , poetry in motion , thank you Jonathan, !
Awesome stuff Jonathan! You really came a long way in a short amount of time building this collection.
Beautiful old superiorly strong machines that will last far beyond....and super simple!
Hi Jonathan, everything looks great, you have done some brilliant work, well done. Many thanks from Nr Liverpool UK.

"He ain't big enough for a sandwich" cracked me up.
you do real good work Jonathan.
Jonathan you Have some Beautiful Collection of Engines
Awesome, plan to be in the US in 25 would love to visit Jonathons steam shed! Loved steam since I saw my first working steam engine at the age of 4 or 5 !
These are things of beauty. You are doing good work Jonathan.

Thank you for a great video, love that you not only save history, but show us all how it works

That is totally metal ! Hats off the the engineer and the steam smith lol👍👍
Jonathan you amaze me,i am 78 years old and have met many people that impressed me with their abilities but never anyone at your level ,thank you for all your videos and wish you and your loved ones a very Happy Easter!
That engine was ready to giddy up right now !!
So smooth running. Thank you for sharing
Regarding the squirrel - My experience, they make a nice pet until mature, at that point they’ll go back on their own choosing to the wild.
Nice work on the collection. The Franklin will fit right in.
What an awesome job Jonathan my goodness you have exceeded any expectations. Just a Beautiful save. Thank You So much.
Cool to see this old equipment chugging away
That was great Johnathan!!! You are one smart guy.....
Great video content. Like you, I'm always happiest when I'm doing something I really enjoy. Something that peaks my interest. Looking forward to seeing more on your channel. Thanks again for your time today and enjoy the rest of your weekend.
It is always a pleasure to watch your videos. Loved it when you said you enjoyed it. Good for you
Great job !! Very impressed with your ability to set up and repair these jewels of history!! Thank you for all you do.
These steam engines just illustrate how short sighted we are as people we should still be using them
I love this. Keep preserving history Jonathan
Very impressive building. I not sure a big storm could blow it down😊
This is fantastic. I think it is really important. It would be nice to see these engines doing work. That would be another huge effort, but maybe someday you could have them all turning generators and start measuring how much electricity they can make. How about charging up a Tesla car, call it the world's first wood-fired automobile? Spectacular. Best wishes, Jonathan. You're someone special. Oh, and I'd like to see governors spinning on all of these old engines. Maybe you'll develop a big enough market for them that someone will start mass-producing them again. I wonder if the mechanisms could be 3D printed.
Your collection is amazing. Keep up the great work and videos.
What a great day! Just amazing! Thank you Jon!
Amazing work....no cobwebs ever gather around your place! 😁
What a great day. thanks for sharing Jonathan. 👍🍺
old Bud Kittelson learnt me up on the Loctite trick back when i was a tadpole, he used to repair cracked diesel cylinder heads with the stuff, it works pretty great, should work with your oiler, if not, you were going to R&R the thing anyway
Jonathan you have things looking Awesome. I was so ready for you to fire it up. You have added to it since the last time I saw it. I'm still playing catch up with everyone. Btw Nana is just like sometimes she's bored with machinery an other times it's more interesting when your doing something or about to do something. Generally a few head rubs an scratches an she happy. She just helps to make everything. Take Care of you and yoursan tell Nana to leave them poor Animals alone. Thanks for sharing.
New addition to the building looks great Jonathon! 👌🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Wonderful, as always. Thank you.
Thanks from England.
It's cool to see all of them to running again.
Love the steam. Keep up the good work.
One more saved and more being done as long as your enjoying your self it makes peaple smile to have them working again keep up the good work 🤟😎
Thanks again Jonathan I always look forward to your videos and enjoy them all!
You got those engines looking and run I enjoy it
Just keep going, and I'll keep watching. Thanks.
Fantastic! And Ninna approved.
Everything is looking good.
Really neat stuff.
Thanks, and Meow to Ninja Catscan.
