I can't figure out how the steam reaches the admission valves. There doesn't seem to be any piping. Is all hidden under the lagging?

Yoooooooo from 0:49 to 0:55 you can see the Dornier Do-31 VTOL transport just chilling in center-frame 😯

Einen Dank an die Menschen, welche diese technischen Wunderwerke pflegen und erhalten!

Absolutely wonderful memory! What a wonderful clip! As a young boy of 10 years old, my father would take me and my younger brother on an early Sunday morning, to Cape Town Harbour, where, with permission from the Port Captain, we would be allowed to board one of the beautiful tugs (just a bit smaller than this one in the video) which went out daily into Table Bay to bring to dock all manner of huge ships, mainly passenger liners, visiting our beautiful city. What an amazing experience for a young boy! We were allowed to stand just ahead of the bridge to view the ships and oftentimes to go into the engine room, where we saw these immense hissing and puffing steam engines thrusting their connecting rods down and up and turning the propellor shaft which led to the stern of the ship and turned the propellor. I also often experienced the actuating of the finely polished brass capstan, which, on the instruction of the captain on the bridge, had to be turned to FULL SPEED AHEAD or SLOW ASTERN, etc. I shall never forget the PING-PING sound and the extreme excitement of actually starting and stopping those huge steam engines! I am now eighty-one years young, and still remember these tugs with great excitement and huge pride! Thanks so much from beautiful Cape Town, South Africa.

My road car has more HP than this, but at 9000 rpm. 260 HP is surprisingly low but at only 600 RPM. That’s torque.

Rytmeboks ❤

These engines can start faster in combat situation?

Big orange writing in front of everything............ A bit of a distraction. ... Narration, even computer generated, would be worth trying. Trains look great!!

Very nice vid. 10/10

Wahnsinn, wie leise die läuft! :/)

This was a wonderful video tour. Thank you for filming it.

👍👍👍👍👍

Does it really gets to 40k rpm ?

Wow. Thx very well done!!! What a ship!!!

really interesting, we hand prime and bar over our diesel locomotives engines before start-up too. interesting to see it done for marine engines .

Mega cool, thanks so much for this video!

I saw this version quite often when i was working in Swiss 1970/71 as well as the Croc's Bern to Thun line ! Olten never stopped in Olten always passed through it . So next time i am over there i stop and take a look around lol ...😅

it amazes me, the pushrods and rocker arms remind me of a '97 Dacia R12 1.6 i got, looks like a ridiculously scaled up version of that engine and obviously 2 cylinders more, the Dacia engine was 77mm diameter and this big engine has like more than 200mm diameter, just WOAH

Frequency running a tad high

That is awesome. Amazing that it was their first engine and it still runs.

Is Sttetin pressured to burn oil instead of coal anytime soon? Here in New Zealand, the Earnslaw is converting to "green" oil fireing this winter. The steam tug 'Lyttelton' is facing the same fate. Just wanting to know. Thanks

That was very interesting to watch. You have made a great documentary and it is great to see these preserved locomotives. I wonder if the batteries are the old lead acid batteries?

So this is where the speedometer came from on the Soviet railways. This speedometer is almost the same as the Soviet speedometer 3SL-2M

Virgin government: "Alright everyone, time to start paying more taxes and driving expensive electric vehicles, for the climate!" Based citizens: "STEAM TRAIN GO BRRRRRRRRR"

VERY important note. The boiler montage strip that you have to bend, should be on the other side of the wall! the strip is on the chimney side, and bends under the boiler side. I was very confused by the instructions when i got here, and then properly looked at the images included, and the video example is wrong. If you do it the correct way you effectively "spring load" it to stick to the chassis, it is much better/easier to get it right :)

Germans ruined airships for everyone else

Excellent, comprehensive video and visible text explaining how this historic locomotive works! Thanks for preparing and posting this!

My compressor would be down to about 10 bar by time they press the starter button 🫢

awesome.,...

Hi, ich finde hier keine Antwort, darum frage ich, wie viel PS hat diese Maschine? Zum Glück konnte diese fantastische Maschine gerettet werden! DANKE 🥰

Yes. If the car were modified to hold it😅 You know it's running right if you sleep easy.

I paused

Sounds like they are already running

Erinnert mich an meine eigene Seefahrts Zeit War in den 60s.

Extremely dangerous with all these unshielded moving parts. Suppose that was so it would be possible to manually lubricate. As a former machinist in the merchant fleet I can appreciate the pleasant noise levels.

Why is the engine so beautiful

Very nice video illustrating all the main parts and function of an electric locomotive

Is this an old engine? Our engines on ship could start whever they didn't have too be in a specific position. Our starting was all done electronically too. Nice video and good explination :)

Really cool to see an steam/air whiste on an electric loco!

Diesel hören - es ist alles gleich, wie Bach zu hören ist...

Great video. Well done, recording and presenting the machinery, like You did. excellent.

What is that 'steam motor' at 11:50 I have never heard of something like that. Is it just a high speed steam engine or is there another concept behind it?

Early American submarines used gasoline engines. When the sub would surface, the crew were like drunk men until the fresh air came in, the they had pounding headaches. Yet they were used for some years in the early 1900’s.

The days before semiconductor power electronics

Is it possible to purchase copies of (longitudinal) profile drawings of this icebreaker?

Same procedure I had to do on my 1986 audi 5000 cd turbo 🤣

What a beautiful little steam ship. How wonderful it is maintained and is still seaworthy. Fantastic video, many thanks.

One slow-witted genius still at work.
