David and Jay are at the Kelsall Steam Festival in Cheshire, where they are on a quest to meet talented tinkerers.

Meanwhile, David and Jay head off to meet another Steve who has been restoring old BBC outside broadcast trucks. They take a tour of the truck and learn about the importance of saving these vehicles.
