On The Shed - Pt 2 of 2

A film by the LMS Railway or why steam trains died out.

Les mécaniciens étaient fières de leurs métiers comment les chauffeurs nettoyage propreté et fierté ont ne vois plus cela en Angleterre je pense qu' il y a toujours cette rigueur même sur les lignes électriques. MERCI infiniment pour ces documents.

Quality locomotive maintained with equal diligence where an employee had a reason to be proud of there work!

The hammering gets on your wick on the sound effects track, other than that this is a brilliant piece of history. Thanks for posting!

[@eoj2495]

I was gonna say something about the banging, but other than that a good film

[@TorrentUK]

Agree

[@waldenhouse]

How anyone can sit at a computer desk all day and say they've "had a hard day at work" is beyond me!

I am pretty certain this is Stoke shed which was modernised in the late 30s , in part 1 , the turntable , coaler , and ash plant are brand new , also you can see the Biddulph Valley line curving away beyond the turntable .

4:33 - That's the work I used to do on the Bluebell Railway and the Lavender Line.

Thank you. It answered a few questions I had about steam engines.

[@NickRatnieks]

6170- one of the LMS's newest express engines hauling what looks like some of its oldest mainline stock! Not a buckeye coupling in sight- wooden bodied carriages. 6170 had a different cab to the original Royal Scots-two windows rather than one with a cut out and handrail.

-And a boiler that was substantially longer than the "Rebuilt Scots" in which "Class" she was listed.

[@conncork]

[@alanmunro]

excellent video instructions

[@Bigaid]

thats the baffle plate, it is used to protect the crown from cold air andalso the tube plate from cold air.

Interesting to se the LMS dropped the fires and started from scratch each day yet the LNER kept locos in light steam between washouts

[@BillieFingers]

I love the part where they've recorded someone singing.

[@TheSteamdriver]

it might have showed why steams days were numbered but they sacked a load of people who thought they were skilled people and then find that they are not in other jobs and another reason why they should have kept steam is because you can nurse a steam engine but you can't with modern trash a.k.a disels and electric trains

[@JamesPetts]

What are the carriages on the train shown at the end there?

[@3NUNS]

... watch out for the time and motion inspector !

[@greatcentralmidland1730]

I echo another comment about about the coaching stock in train at the end, it looks a very mixed bag. Are these strengtheners
