I'm one of the few people in this day and age that still works as a steam locomotive fitter for a living, pretty much do the exact same stuff these guys in the video, although we use some different methods to do stuff shown in this video. Its a hell of a job to do and I cant imagine the turnaround these guys doing it back then had. its very different in this day and age, there isn't an infinite amount of man power like massive workshops used to have so exams and maintenance takes a lot longer. they used to have separate fitters, machinists, welders, tube sweepers, examiners, barmen, washers and dozens of other roles. Now days you learn to do ALL of it yourself, its a lot more daunting than what it once was

I’m a cleaner (trainee fireman) in the UK and it’s nothing like this. Cleaners don’t bother with the insides of the engines anymore. That’s usually left for off period of a locomotive when it isn’t running, and the owner of the locomotive, usually a driver or fireman (depending on who owns it) will do this. Washouts are pretty similar apart from the fact that the hoses are a lot thinner and the water pressure is more powerful. This is only ever done with the engine is in a cold state as well for safety reasons. Cleaners only bother with the outside of the engines these days, usually washing the wheels, frames and the body.

My treat later on in life was the visit to the rail museum in York (UK) It was truly memorable. 😀Thanks for giving us an astonishing oversight of what it took to maintain such a beast. #Respect for those who toiled on the railways in its hey day of steam. We Brits invented the railways but sadly this is a reminder that we failed in so many ways to innovate and create whilst so many other countries took rail and transport to such levels that left us trailing behind. You only have to look at Japan and China with their high speed super trains, the infrastructure, the innovation and creativity to realise how much we have lost when we should have been ahead of the game... from the off.

But it was indeed a most wonderful sight to see an engine in full steam. I'm old enough to remember seeing the last of them in the 1960's and travel on them with my parents.

Engine wasn’t smiling when his face showed.He looked unhappy .When face showed later after screens were put back and was closed ,Engine looked like he was glad washout was over .Parts needed for seeing eating and breathing swing to left when smokebox door open remain intact and engine remains conscious .I’ll bet that film they didn’t use showed engine crying during flue cleaning and washout .The rids day high pressure sprays looked quite unpleasant .73020 was young .Born in late 1951 and movie in 1953.; I’ll bet with the movie crew there he behaved as badly as he thought he could get away with ..”I WANT THE WORLD TO KNOW HOW MUCH I HATE X DAYS !!! “Who could blame him. I felt culture shock when I saw what the engine had to go through twice a month . It looked a bit like torture although it was medically necessary and he had to hold still and take it .Once the washout was over ,they would have dried his tears and later given him a treat . Choo choos have mouths and they probably eat people food .After his dinner I think they gave him candy or ice cream .Engines can eat ice cream when not in steam.

Hi any one can answer me! no doubt the whole engine is amazing machine but for me the fire box is more interesting, I wants to know what kind of insulation they were using in fire box so the iron of fire box in not melting due to high temperature of coal burning, I think may be bricks are used for insulating the floor and walls of fire box.

Fire brick insulation plus the fire sits on a grate. The firebox itself is part of the boiler shell so is surrounded by water on all sides except the bottom. The stays hold the firebox in position against the boiler shell.

Many boiler fire boxes used asbestos as well...although I’m not sure if they were used on Steam locomotives.
