Triumph Herald in Yzeures sur Creuse

Just a pretty and fairly old car, these were old when I started driving.
Another clockwork coldstart

I do not know how old this French 'Hornby Serie' clockwork engine is, I feel it is late 1930's but it could be 1950's. Anyway, it kinda works now.
What came first, the wheel or the barrow

Lots of tractors, makes I hadn't heard of. But just look at the sweet FIAT crawler, absolutely loveable.

Clockwork trains can be a lot of fun, although I might need a bigger layout.

Tiger hunting in the Faber Farm fields
It's a neat whachamacallit if you ask me. Definitely needs to be a garden table of some sort.
Sounds like a plan.
looks like it could be a sun lounger shape to me
Perhaps, time will tell.
I don't know what it is, but I'm sure someone spent countless hours behind it in the hot sun. I think it would be a fitting way to honor them, sitting beside it and drinking coffee.
Ah, coffee tables are also used by tea drinkers...
The front wheel at one time looks like it was adjustable like a gauge wheel. But the frame is very curious if it was cultivator or what it was. That will make a very interesting garden coffee table
It may get 'hanging baskets' on the handles. All I know is that it is old. I guess it was a cultivator, probably pulled by a donkey.
The Trusty Scoda is being claimed by nature isn't it?
Time for a new Shade Tree Fix-it Man lawn mower winch. I'll be looking forward to the how to on repairing the flat tire.
I have a hoist but currently I have a pile of firewood in the way. I simply inflated the tyre, see how well it holds air before I get too excited....
It took two attempts to watch this video.. On my first try I heard you say you bought that tractor brand new, and I passed out for a few minutes... After I woke up, I finished watching. The wheel holder-oner is some pretty high-level engineering isn't it.
When I arrived here, I needed a mower on day 1. Could not be involved with repairing 2nd hand ones. Now, the 'benefit' is the service I get in the shop where I bought it, I had walked in, said 'that one' and paid cash. They have the mad idea that I am rich, and look after me very well.
@@harryfaber Well played sir...
Yep, always use the right tools for right job 🛠😅👍
I had better paint the safe working load on that tree trunk.
So, do those odd-looking zucchinis taste different? My guess is they are a bit "woody" for the eggs, bread crumbs, and frying method. How do you prepare them?
What a nice classic I love it
These are delightful small cars.
I know what you mean about veggies being available at the same time that everyone else’s is. You get creative on ways to eat them all🥬🫑🧅🥔🥒🍅
Some folk make a lot of soups and sauces, bottled or frozen. I just throw them at folk that eat them. The Formation Courgette Eating Team can get through a lot everyday.
A real nice treat to see the Herald first thing to get the day started
They are nice cars.
What a beauty! I'm amused by the British sized tail fins.
Tail fins were always a stupid idea. Fords had real troubles with panels made on Monday mornings, the coiled steel would 'age harden' quickly enough that many of the stampings would crack in the press and have to be filled with lead filler. (I was born not far from the Ford plant at Dagenham and knew a lot of men that worked there)
@@harryfaber Tail fins weren't the most practical thing I admit... But the world beat our door down to get them.. and they still do.
A lovely little motor, saw one last Monday whilst fishing in Lincolnshire.
Living close to Fords at Dagenham, we never thought about Triumphs, but a few mates' dads had them. We all used to speak 'knowledgeably' about chassis rot and 'outriggers'.
@@harryfaber I'm an Alfa owner - I know all about chassis rot or, to be more specific, subframe rot. My car is in for MOT tomorrow, it's not going to be very pleasant...😕
@@Mr_CMH Could be worse, I had a Cortina!
Sweet car...and a lovely glimpse of mist and the sound of a wood pigeon/dove in that pretty place 👌 Thank you for the much needed Monday diversion 😊
It is a very pretty place, a short walk down the hill will take you to the river Creuse, a short car ride will take you to Descartes or Le Roche Posay. Very good place for a holiday.
@@harryfaber Absolutely gorgeous 👌
What a cook car museum in the uk harry
This isn't in the UK! Valancay, France.
Look like a cool train buddy British trains are cool in the old times
This particular one is a French Hornby Meccano.
That’s going to be the official Garden Train 🚂
All weather garden tracks are available, but I think your Studebaker Champ will be winning pries long before that happens.
Harryfaber the tinsmith. Maybe your name should be harrysmith or hairysmith? Next up, dual tracks for dragracing the windup trains...
There could be a remake of 'The General'!
I approve of your methods...
Shortening the spring means it won't go as far as it did when it was new. As it came to me as a collection of bent pieces, I am happy with it.
Ive only just found this looking at Hornby Dublo Videos. I just about fell off my chair laughing. I swear to god the same thing happened to me with a dublo 4mt. And I swear Ive ended up with 6, the first one was missing a few bits and bobs but ran. The next 4 ran perfectly with just a remag and and service. So I wasnt going to scavenge those for parts. 🤷♂️ The last one finally didnt work and had a fried armature. So finally provided bits to complete the first one. 🤣🤣 It Must be a thing. How funny.
It doesn't stop! I bought a tin plate 'Joustra' clockwork railcar, without a key, then I saw a 'Hachette' engine with a key, so I bought it. Trouble is, Hornby/Hachette keys don't fit Joustra stuff. I now have a very old French Hornby engine, a younger British Hornby locomotive, the Hachette one as well as the railcar. They are like moths, if you leave a light on.
@@harryfaber 🤣🤣🤣 Its all great fun though.
@@l1a146 As long as addiction doesn't control you! I am about to post another clockwork caper.
Beautiful TR4..
It was very pretty.
Once in a while the universe gives a guy a break.... or a rubber tire...
Solid rubber is way better than inner tubes!
Some of the tractors are very familiar but several are the first time to see.
In the 40's and 50's, there were still some very local builders, as well as imports from east Europe. That little FIAT crawler is a dear little machine.
I feel sure you find something. How could you go home empty handed with all that stuff for sale?
Discipline! Mind, it helps when the traders are 'professionals' who are expecting top prices in the middle of the holiday season. In small village brocantes, the sellers are mainly the folk that live in the village who are trying to get rid of stuff, a brocante in a 'tourist destination' attracts more professional traders, who often have established shops and are looking for shop prices and rich holiday makers.
Because he can't stand to spend money. 😂
Well bought at 5 euros . You will be happy with that purchase for some time to come
It will never get a puncture!
That's fantastic! The satisfaction of a job well done is always a bit of a thrill, I think 👌
Fixing wheelbarrows cause trouble! I have run out of excuses for laying the pad for the bins, I have so far dug out 4 barrow loads.
Not a fan of ladders..
I never have been, but stuff to do!
I have a busy morning at my Mom’s replacing the irrigation system in the rose bed before it gets to hot today
Will the ground saw get some exercise?
Looks like a trip to the hardware store is in order to find a piece of tubing to make a key
I have plenty of odd pieces of steel, I need to work out a small 'anvil' for bending it over, if only I had a square drill bit... it is rather a long way down the list of priorities, I may find a key, maybe for a clock, the right size.
I'm sure you'll have a key made by the time I wake up in the morning. Unless you waste your time working on the house... or pulling weeds.
There is much else to do besides...
Careful that you don't hurt yourself. Reaching into the cab like that could be hazardous to your health.
It has been a while, but I know the dangers on the footplate. Hot pipes, roaring fires....
I think too if you lay the track on the wall of a barrel the speed and force would keep it there🏁
A 'Wall of Death' engine!
I went to a flea market yesterday, and fell asleep under a tree.
Lucky that you were not sold!
I have to admit, when I saw the suitcase, my heart skipped a beat.
Mmm, your doctor might suggest taking pills before watching YT.
My grass is also white.
We are supposed to get some rain on Tuesday.
@@harryfaber Not us, they threaten but never comes.
You've spent money this summer like a drunken sailor. But you've got some good stuff.
I had promised myself to spend nothing, but, you know how it is...
Looks like you had a great time at the Brocante. You picked up some fun stuff and the grinder will get its share of use.
A chap can never have enough angle grinders.
You have really kept the garden producing through the summer.
My eventual intention is to never again buy vegetables, not sure I will accomplish that, but it is an aim.
That's an interesting carrot... probably the biggest news out of France in the last two weeks.
Not the biggest but the most interesting...
😂
Gardening can be fun!
They all look healthy.
They have a very protective mother!
Looks like you'll have a full day.
And I won a couple of games!
With your skill set the weather never slows you down. You get good use from every minute of a day.
Not as much as I should, but if I don't drink tea, no one else will...
How train plarail
This is a Joustra clockwork train, made in France.
Oh
Huh.
Bonjour Mr H, Over the road from me at the B&B on Rue Louis Cassas are 4 wooden sunloungers free gratis. I'm sure if not good enough to renovate a dilapidated French carriage they will boil a few kettles for well earned tea. Maybe even a cup of tea going over the road!
I might take a quick look. Firewood is best grabbed before needing to light fires!
Smart thinking to work on the shady side and evening hours of the house for repairs. That summer heat is brutal
It just dries the paint or the render too quickly.
I just want you to know I'm watching this at 5:00 AM... I can get up early if I put my mind to it. Usually, Hollyhocks that healthy only grow from a crack beside the highway, not where you actually want them to grow.
I was up before 5am, but it wasn't my mind that got me up... Yep, the idea of planning where your hollyhocks will grow is never going to work.
Beautiful hollyhocks 👌
They do make me smile.
