The process of building steam locomotives in 1935

submitted by pumkinandstorm

1 decade 8 months ago

(youtube) A very well done film about the making of a huge steam locomotive from plain bar steel. It is nothing short of incredible to see how these men work to build a giant machine.

I love steam engines. This was awesome.

Amazing.

OMG, the dude with the mustache hammering the glowing metal...

Withdrawn from the lines in the 60's.

Presumably good luck and good running.

What a magnificent machine. The skill of the metal workers is incredible.

Scrapped in May of 1962. 27 years on the job.

There's still one of these on the job (a luxury train line): http://www.royalscotsman.com/web/rs/the_train.jsp

What an utterly fantastic accent. And the video was riveting.....

It's sad, but this kind of expertise and skill, in many areas including nursing, has been slowly lost to our nation by - to cut a long story short - capitalist drive for profit at any cost and whatever the future consequences.

Know what we do if we want something made now? Make a long distance call to china.
