    I saw this on another forum about the making of a steam loco in britain, I admire what those old guys could do:

    Excellent, thanks for sharing. I always learn something new watching these films, me being just a humble painter, this time it was how tyres are put on a wheelset - I'd always wondered!

    I just stumbled across this clip on a routine YouTube trawl, checked back here and found this thread. My reactions range from fascination, via awe of the folks who undertook work like this, to outright jaw dropping incredulity at some of the accepted working practices of eight decades ago.

    Any 'Elfan Safe Tea' types should probably not watch, as there's got to be a fair chance some would die of apopleptic shock before the end of the shots of the inside cylinder block casting process!! Everyone else, I'd encourage to grab a cuppa, put your feet up and give it a look.

    Clips were used in steam days, travels with a duchess. First time I saw it. BBC just don't make programs that good anymore.

    Just watched this, great stuff. Dunno about you but I am an absolute sucker for an RP voice talking over footage of men in flat caps doing spectacularly dangerous industrial stuff.

    Thanks for finding it.

    When it comes to factual 'how it is done' stuff, films from that period get it right, clear and concise descriptive commentary with no forced melodrama, not like modern ones where a breathless voice describes what 'could' go wrong 'if' this or that is not done correctly.....

    AKA 'false jeopardy'. An irritating trait (to put it mildly) and a relatively recent phenomenon.
