Cummins: "I roll coal"

Sentinel DG8: LOL, hold my clinker while I 'roll coal' with actual coal, son.

Well honey, I’m gonna go warm the car up for work.

But you just got home from work

I know

I remember these from when I was a boy during WW2. A local brewery used them to deliver beer to a pub in our village. Less scary than the Shire horses that delivered to the other pub.

I remember my grandpa playing Euro truck simulator with this truck

How much people are needed to run a car?
*1929:* At least two!
*2020:* none!

Well at the least this thing kept the driver/engineer warm and toasty during the cold days. What a beautifull piece of engineering.

No gym membership required if you spent all day everyday driving that!
Hard men back then.

The sound of those straight cut gears would be concerning to the average person

The truck look like some sort of
Fire breathing monster driving down

I'm a mechanical engineer myself and I really cannot express how much I adore and revere early British engineering such as this. So, I'd just like to express my heartfelt congratulations and my sincerest gratitude to all involved for keeping such a beautiful vehicle 'alive' and running. Needless to say, the most fitting tribute to such a glorious machine is that despite her age, she'll easily outlast anything that has been built between the early '70s and the present day.

Like si vienes del canal UN POCO DE TODO.

When you see a truck with the big, friendly letters: 'TARMAC' coming at you:
*_GET OUTTA' THE WAY!!!_*

[thetaurak]

Now I'm wondering why I never thought about what it takes to run a coal powered truck... Seriously cool and impressive, good job keeping it alive gentleman.

[brandonlu]

Just hearing the powertrain makes me appreciate the helical gears we have in our transmissions today... Thank you for the insightful video!

[returnofthestrangers]

I love history I love classic cars omg! This is just on another level, to be able to see this tday in colour not black and white, the quality and the build, the mechanics of it and most of all the standard of British engineering back in those days, this clearly shows the value and the strength of made in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿, simply amazing!

Ну вот, пассажир переднего сиденья при деле. А то обленились ездить. :D

If that thing sits in rush hour traffic behind an old MX-5, Lotus Elise or Super 7, all you see in the mirror in those cars is a fire.

Ok, and the Elise would probably start to melt.

9:02 Imagine that thing coming towards you at night!

And I complain about the lack of power steering on my

Lovely to see this old wagon still going strong
