He needs to come to the Rock River Thresheree at Thresherman's park in Edgerton, WI. Labor day weekend every year. Several giant stationary engines, steam pile driver, countless steam tractors, working steam logging engine line, steam sawmill, etc.
I can Confirm about the Moon. It most definitely is there. We've been trying to tighten down the dogs that hold it but it keeps managing to loosen them and escape. Clearly orbital mechanics are more powerful than we'd thought.
We don't have a frank on the end of the phone line here.. its someone with a name no one can pronounce from india. Alex is a master in his own right.. I love your little man moving from spot to spot and thought the chimney was a funny starting place. Ken you need a small turntable somewhere so you can turn the engines around.
In the new Workshop it will be much easier as I am fitting these benches in the centre of the room, so I can just move the camera around the other side {:-)))
It'd be great to see the old Singles running again, Alex, but perhaps after you finish with the Stirling and the Spinner, you could give the Cornwall some love as well? Or restart the fire under the Bloomer replica that dwindled out. (Personally I'm a bit odd and prefer the 2-2-2s over the bogie singles.)
I was led to think that water boiled at 300 degrees Whitworth? Mr. Karnes, I wish you well in your adventures, USA does pass by too much of our short heritage, and ignore the heritage of the original occupants.
I agree with him perfectly. I am at secondary school at the moment, and last year we looked at the Industrial Revolution. I asked my teacher how long we would spend on steam power, she said about 15 minutes. I decided, right there and then, to ask if I could teach a whole lesson on it. She said sure. So, I brought in my dad's 3 inch scale steam roller and got a risk assessment done...it passed! The next lesson was a blast. All of lunchtime was spent raising steam, and the lesson was a blast. I explained how steam was used, how steam is still essential for energy production, and then took everyone on trailer rides. I immediately went from the year's "kid with a weird hobby" to "supreme leader of the year"!!!! If we don't show these things to people, they lose appreciation. Seeing is believing, textbooks don't do anything much justice. That same engine is now one of ye centerpieces at the annual science fair!
It's certainly not a free world. However, if you want, make the U.K. your second life. Oh by the way. I think the naphtha fumes might have got to your head, a bit.😁🚂🚂🚂👍
I have been binge watch content of yours and Alex. He is a fascinating guy to learn from even via RUclips. Thanks for the content
Alexander is a unique individual. Thanks for making these videos!
I hope the two of you do many more videos together! You play off eachother very well!
A. E. Karnes you are truly a joy to watch and listen to your story’s

Fantastic conversation, gents. Thank you for the video.
Mr. Karnes has excellent taste in Baltic tanks.
What a wonderful conversation
I think Mr. Karnes should be made an honorary Englishman. He’s wasted in the states.
I say now, we will need to schedule him in turns, he is needed quite desperately here in the states.
okbridges you are of course quite right. I was being a little too presumptuous there! He is quite a refreshing character though!
Brilliant video. I have been watching you for a while and you have really helped me learn loads. Thanks really much.
I lived Dorchester, MA. next to Franklin Park for 1-1/2 yrs. Moved out 7/19. Grew up in North central CT. Thanx.

I like this guy, he has a bit of the gift of the Blarney.
This is madness..... This is Sparta

Wonders of the World Part 3 - Mr. Appleton and Mr. Karnes.
That bit about the Moon flying in and out kind of makes sense..... so..
maybe you want to share that phone number, Keith
👍😎🐿

"I'm looking forward to that."
"What, death?"
"*Your* death!"
Made me laugh harder than I really ought... :-)

Same thing happened to me, but with a Wilesco.
AE K is a steam savant.
He is a true Genius . . . .
Ah see tha's teachin ' im t'dialect; "it was in a 'right state!'" :D He'll be a proper Yorkshireman in no time.

Steam is king Alex
I think I bought rail from this guy.
Mr karnes could have an interesting meeting with the men with white cotes

He is always like that - with or without solvent abuse }:-)))
