It was the twelfth birthday of Steam Traction World, based in Daventry, recently and Nick Price Creatives<\/a> have been with them since day one – so we celebrated together.<\/p>\n

Twelve years – silk? That wasn\u2019t really suitable for a heavy engineering company – but a famous film featuring twelve was far better.<\/p>\n

We recreated the classic film poster from The Dirty Dozen, with reference to the twelve AND boosted by the fab-fact there are 12 employees at Steam Traction World! From which we produced a short film with the poster and fireworks. The Dirty Dozen movie tune isn\u2019t that well known, so we used the theme from The A Team, and with our DJ\u2019ing talent (ahem)<\/em> mixed the A Team theme<\/em> into Happy Birthday<\/em> and back again! We posted the film on Social Media to coincide with the big day.
\nHere\u2019s the copy, we wrote, to accompany<\/strong>:
\nTwelve years ago a crack steam unit<\/em>
\nWas sent to Northamptonshire by a military court<\/em>
\nFor a time so they did commit.<\/em>
\nThese men promptly set up Steam Traction World maximum security stockade<\/em>
\non a Daventry Industrial Estate<\/em>
\nToday, still wanted by steam enthusiasts,<\/em>
\nThey survive despite Covid-19.<\/em>
\nIf you want an engine,<\/em>
\nIf no one else can help<\/em>
\nAnd if you can build them<\/em>
\nMaybe you can call the S-team.<\/em>
\nOK, we admit our films are a little mixed up. I ain\u2019t going on no plane! But what better way to celebrate our twelfth anniversary than homage to our people?<\/em>
\nTwelve of them for our twelfth Birthday today – I love it when a plan comes together!<\/em>
\nHappy Birthday Steam Traction World.<\/em><\/p>\n

Everyone Makes Mistakes – That\u2019s Why They Put Erasers On The End of Pencils<\/strong>
\nThe reaction from all but one was fantastic. To our horror we\u2019d spelt a surname wrong – Walsh should have been Wash arrgggh! <\/em>So as an apology we re-designed the film just for Mr Wash, deliberately spelling all the other names wrong! That got a great reaction too with a double social media hit in one day.<\/p>\n

We tweaked the text to suit:<\/strong>
\nTwelve years ago a crack steam unit<\/em>
\nWas sent to Northamptonshire by a military court<\/em>
\nFor a time so they did commit.<\/em>
\nThese men promptly set up Steam Traction World maximum security stockade<\/em>
\non a Daventry Industrial Estate<\/em>
\nToday, still wanted by steam enthusiasts,<\/em>
\nThey still spell Craig\u2019s name wrong<\/em>
\nIf you want surname,<\/em>
\nIf you think it needs an L in it<\/em>
\nAnd if you can’t resist<\/em>
\nMaybe you check with Craig first!<\/em>
\nOK, we admit our films are a little mixed up. I ain\u2019t going on no plane! But what better way to celebrate our twelfth anniversary than homage to our people? So this version Craig should be happy – everyone else perhaps so quite so much.<\/em>
\nTwelve of them for our twelfth Birthday today – I love it when an autocorrect comes together!<\/em>
\nHappy Birthday to Steam Traction World and all the staff, especially Craig Wish<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Phew glad we didn\u2019t make the same mistake twice! I’m off to sharpen my pencil.<\/em>
