Yes, those were the days, when Great Britain was the Workshop of the World. I love watching engines working. Thank you for posting such an interesting video.

That unique, complex engine was made in Britain. Amazing what we used to build.

Brings back memories of being a child - my dad and me would catch the paddlesteamer from Birnbeck Pier at Weston-super-mare and sail to Barry Island for the day. You could go down and watch the huge mechanisms at work.
