Share, Learn and Inspire
Upload videos of your projects, from routine maintenance to tackling complex repairs and share the story of your engine’s journey.
Address common questions and challenges faced by enthusiasts, offering tips, tricks and tried-and-tested solutions that can benefit the entire community.
Designed with a fresh, modern feel inspired by platforms like TikTok, Mechanic Watch will allow you to share short, impactful videos that are easy to upload and watch. Whether you’re a seasoned operator or just starting out, this space is for everyone to learn, connect and celebrate our shared heritage.
At the National Traction Engine Trust (NTET), we know that the magic of steam traction engines lies not only in their majestic presence but in the dedication, skill and ingenuity required to maintain and operate them. That’s why we’re launching the NTET Mechanic Watch - a dynamic, interactive space where members can share their passion, solve problems and inspire others.
Record yourself working on your engine, solving a problem, or answering a commonly asked question.
Help others find your video by tagging it with relevant topics like “boiler maintenance,” “restoration tips,” or “engine tuning.”
Watch videos from fellow members, leave comments and spark meaningful discussions.
The NTET Mechanic Watch section is more than just a place to share videos - it’s a space to preserve and pass on the skills and knowledge essential to our steam heritage. It’s a way to inspire the next generation, keep traditions alive and strengthen the bonds within our incredible community.
