Hello everyone,
Over the weekend Lawrie was invited to take part in the Long Shop's 40th Anniversary event by crewing the resident Steam Locomotive Sirapite, and by bringing his Dennis RS130 to join the festivities - will the notoriously unreliable fire engine make it?
If you want to find out more about the Long Shop, have a look at their website here: www.longshopmuseum.co.uk/
A video featuring:
Lawrie - Presenter, excited to get back on Sirapite,
Tom - Fireman/Chauffeur, excited for a day on the shovel,
Ben - Cameraman/cleaner, excited for a day on the footplate,

Hello everyone, Today Lawrie heads to the Amerton Railway for their steam gala - but he's not been allowed on the footplate of one of the noisy, smoky and dirty machines. No, he's been told to report to the Industrial Railway... The sound in the video was captured using a 3D microphone - it's best listened to with headphones!

Oh, no... ... ...it's *_HELJAN!_* Sam knows Heljan's shortcomings well!
Do the contact on the oo have roller or dose it just drag. Sometimes, the drag style makes sparks and sort out a lot.
This is meant in high respect. He will have the largest rust railways in the UK and he should be so happy!
Broski did not see there's a drift car in the background 😂😂😂
I don't have a drift car
Im scared in real life of steam locos because i think that the steam train might explode
They are tested and have safety devices to ensure that doesn't happen. So don't worry
@@lmm thanks god man now im less scared btw your videos are great🤯
She looks very like 'Moel Hebog' on the Ffestiniog Railway?
I enjoyed coming to the gala on Saturday in between visiting the Mid Norfolk Railway. Good to speak to you briefly in the afternoon once Sir William had got working!
Seeing the HST in preservation must be similar to my parents seeing BR mainline steam locos: that was cutting-edge tech when I was a child, what the heck is it doing in a museum?
Well done to all, really cute little loco... New paint, injectors/pump, she'll be stunning.
I'm such a fan of these tiny treasures. I'm moving from an RV to a boat and am planning a sea chest layout. Tnanks for sharing - Scale Rail Ray heading to the roundhouse.
What did salty do
Any chance of a "It's so silly" t shirt?
Definitely want to see more of the Dennis, no one else is doing videos of one, oh does it pump water?
Love the Long Shop. Gutted that I never seem to be in the area when you are 😔
superb
there is a man driving his passion , great piece of every day machinery runs again !
You r one was in John brooms yard
Had a 1564 in a boatyard loved it ❤🤠🔧⚓ JB
22:55-23:50, Lawrie, how dare you think you can escape your fate.
2 Baguelys one automatic and one manual Lady of the Lake and King Arthur are at Wicksteed Park kettering. 1923 vintage . Both are retired as the rolling stock is now withdrawn.
Hey do you know where i can get tracks for the massy Ferguson 200b need sprockets to cant find parts im from usa
I live in united states any one know where i can get track chains and sprokets
Fantastic video, thanks Laurie
is that the same make and model fire truck that is on firemen sam.? not sure if the UK had that kid's cartoon.
It is not
I'd love to take your Jupiter for a spin. I've driven many many Dennis' in my time, but they've all been buses.
It's a real nice truck
@@lmm Don't temp me into buying one!
Those loco's were so interesting being pretty much a traction engine. I would be good to see a coffee pot loco on the channel next and I believe Beamish have a narrow gauge one and a few others have them still in operational use.
I'm so happy, the Britain's are as mad as we Germans are regarding trains things. 😊
It’s Sirapite NOT Siraphite! Did you not consider wrapping some rag around the water gauges to keep them clean when you lit the boiler. What do you mean nothing else to do, you could always get some Brasso and a rag and have a polish up, does that explain why the visiting engines are all smart and shiny and the museum engines are filthy. Would have been nice to hear a few words about the Clayton, mighty fine engine that deserves a mention.
I'm sure they'd love for you to volunteer and help out
Well that a ridiculous thing to say! There is an awful lot of pride with engine owners and volunteers and we always do our best to make the engines shine as we are only custodians and the old girls deserve to be looked after. We don’t mind videos but do your homework as you can’t change history
Alexa, define "armchair enthusiast".
@@ajlawrence8983, christ, he just mispronounced something. Really not that big a deal.
We saw you there
If you try spraying the axle with contact cleaner you should dissolve and drive out the old grease and dirt, then you can apply the new oil knowing it will do it's job better. Best of all, you won't need to dismantle the valve gear.
I visited Long Shop about 15 years ago and its still one of the best museums I've ever been to. Not a place you generally pass through, but well worth the trip.
Too bad it was such a short track. Would have been nice to see the locomotive get up some speed. Thanks for the great videos, please keep them coming.
very nice little locos.
whats that big daark puddle next to the smokebox on the fireman's side?
A tray that catches a leak from the exhaust steam pipe
How did I not know about these places when I was in Suffolk (late 1980s). I had to make do with the occasional steam fairs at the Stomarket Museum and they were mainly steam harvesters, bailers and tractors.
What gauge are these engines and the larger ones seen moving around? Both seem like Narrow Gauge but the size differences confuse me.
"Eco-friendly way"; dumps the oil residue in the greenery.
Great video Lawrie. Can you pls post about your new locomotive i am so intrestet where it is now
Really enjoyed this, visited the long shop over many years growing up when with family in Theberton , think its time to visit again! Great Video 🙂
Serapite... what a bloody great clanking thing, and I _absolutely_ love it :D Haven't we seen it on the channel before, though, in a way that wasn't mentioned in the video? I get the impression that Serapite travels, under certain circumstances... it accompanied that really, really big locomotive on its celebratory return to the UK, as I recall, the one where it was a private railway and you weren't allowed to tell us whose or where. I remember the other locomotive that day being just like Serapite, essentially a railway-going traction engine, and I remember commenting on that, after that video as well. I can't imagine there're terribly many put together like that...
I think that's Sir Vincent.
Ive not seen a steam car like that before, can i presume it were a later model?
This is pretty much exactly the same as Aveling & Porter 'Sir Vincent' from the Fifield Private Railway. Hope to see some more of that in the future, and great video!
