Building Steam Locomotives 1930s Trains Railways Educational Film S88TV1

as if it was chesse- its funny to me tbh

EXCELLENT INVENTION.

This is peak engineering at the time. There will never be a more impressive machine to me. Primitive and powerful. Plus it just looks like people are having a blast at the foundry, riding on the cranes lifting the metal

Great Video.......

This is my porn.

Could this be the footage of Henry’s rebuild 😢

It’s always incredible to see what humans can do. Take a metal from the dirt in the earth and mold it into a creature all its own to benefit man. I love it.

Now if the technology that built steam trains was preserved think how cool it would be!

This video was my early childhood

only men working in the forge, bunch of sexists

What a cool video. It's amazing how hard those men worked back then.

Wow

Considering this is 1935, this film is very well done. Great photography, lighting and narration. It is a monument to a great industry and those who built these mighty machines, wherever in the world that happened! Many thanks.

this is how thomas 🚂was built

Citizens of the 20s and 30s were miroculosly ingeniouses.

this is just amazing.

This is cool. I wonder how possible it is to make one of these nowadays?

😮😮❤️❤️👍🇵🇰😀

Is there another way to make it colorful

To be honest, I kinda want to build an ACTUAL E2 and fix it's problems why it's only good for shunting.

even the young boys were tough then some of the workers look 12-13 and that was common to see …the precision with the technology at the time is nothing short of amazing

They made it look so much more impressive than they do now

How can 8 people not like this ??? Odd. I bet she's scrap now.

This was the only engine of its class to be involved in accidents, the first killed. 24, the second killed 15. Not enough people wished it luck like the narrator

Some of these locomotives only had years of service until their demise in the 60s

The railway owners were real tyrants back then. Too bad people didn't get into the habit of making their own. This stuff isn't hard to make. These old build videos are for mass production. You can even do it from scratch. Build a little furnace. Find some iron. Build your tools and what mechanical machines you need. Start off small and work your way up to the big stuff. You can even reuse your iron furnace as the boiler on the train. The problem with the industrial revolution is it sold fish to men at top prices and discouraged them from fishing themselves. Referencing the old "teach a man to fish" saying there. Places where wood is king you see all kinds of amateur creations. Pity that didn't extend to steelwork. The early 1900's had some novice engineers like that. Just look at old airplane videos. But in the 1930's industry swallowed it all up, and WWII sealed the deal. They used patriotism to sell us dependence on big business instead of self-reliance.

What amazes me is that they had to make mold after mold after mold each time they needed a new part rather than create a one time mold. So much work and so much effort.

Trainvidiuos.

This loco was scrapped at Crewe Works May 1962. Another great job done on loco recycling by Crewe!

Thanks for posting. Notice full employment. Amazing engineering.

This is awesome

So cool !

Does anyone have an idea as to what the music at the start is?

i'm here because i searched for it and i was lowkey curious

Tis is a biutwfal engine

When we buy model engines we have to run them in for an hour backwards and forwards without a load. Did they run the real engines in I wonder?

Thats a belter.

Back in the 1960s The fastest steam train from Glasgow to Aberdeen hauled by A4 locos was the 3 hour expresses fastest now I believe is 2 1/2 hours not an awful lot of difference all these years later

"what do you do for a living?"




"I'm ballast at a forge"

On 17 April 1948 a passenger train hauled by locomotive No.6207 Princess Arthur of Connaught was halted after a passenger pulled the communication cord. It was then hit from behind by a postal train, which a signalman's error had allowed into the section, resulting in the deaths of 24 passengers.

What a shame. Beautiful machines.

Amazing! I didn't know there were any videos of this!

Just incredible, particularly the total lack of personal safety equipment!

Good nice brother hood

I'm only here because I heard nostalgia critic make a joke about procreation in Thomas and the Magic Railroad and I was curious about the creation of actual steam engines 🚂

!!!!!!!!
