A true legacy Phil. Can't help but notice you're a pipe smoker. Are you a member of pipe smokers of America on facebook? Would love to hear from you there as well as many other pipe smokers
I have always had a fascination for the heavy engineering that ship building and the railways represented, so I am very grateful to those who saw fit to make these films, which now form part of our national heritage.
One of the locomotives featured..no. 5625 Sarawak was observed by myself one Saturday afternoon. I was not believed and this caused me a lot of grief!!
Very interesting film for anyone planning to build a model railroad engine shed or depot. However: didn't they also have to fill sand into the engines for improved adhesion on the rails when braking or going uphill?
Incidentally I think this is one of many big mistakes in the television series. A convention that works in illustrations just looks stupid when carried over literally to three dimensional reality.
Wow, the "technology" seems so basic! This film was made a year before I was born. Twenty-five years later I worked in a nuclear power station, clean and safe. My, how times have changed.
thats longsight,my dads depot,we lived in railway houses next to the sidings,the coaling plant was the view from our front and back doors.engines coming on to the shed passed about 20 yards from our front door
@@alanpugh7738 I have been a Railwayman for over 30yrs alan. one of my best mates was a Driver at Longsight in the late 80`s. Its a different Railway now.
@@stephensmith4480 dad retired early 80,s.the railway started going down hill soon after.it used to be like a big family everyone looking out for each other,i ran the sea fishing club at london rd and a lot of the lads took early retirment it got so bad working there
@@alanpugh7738 I started in 1990. I think I just saw, the last of the good times. Like you said, it was like a family, the number of lads I used to have a pint with and got to know their family`s too, it was great. Know lots of blokes too, who took early retirement because of the way it was going. It`s just a different Railway now, to the one I joined.
Comes from an era of properly spoken English. A high standard of presentation. A belief in doing the job right. It also shows the pride a motivated work force had. Shows how far this once great country has fallen. So glad our railway preservation movement keeps our heritage alive, both volunteers and paid staff. Thankfully we are getting some of this next generation to keep this heritage going.
Thenk you, Mr Chumley-Warner for your commentary. It was absolutely spiffing, what.
On behalf of my late father, who was in charge of this production, I thank the poster and those who have expressed their pleasure. 🍻

I whole heartedly concur Phil

I've watched this video so many times, but I come back for the narrator's exquisitely dapper British accent.
Wonderful film - we must not lose history such as this.

Very nostalgic. Commentators sound today just as I remember them.
Actually very cosy.
I keep watching these films, hoping to see my dad on the Footplate. Never gets boring. 44yrs, service, some spotter must've filmed him. 😎👍
Such a nice presentation of the past
My Grandfather was a railman on Euston Station for LMS, and in pre grouping drove a horse bus for LNWR London station shuttle bus.
"Don't be silly! Horses don't ride buses!!" :) (Yes, I know you mean horse-drawn buses, Good Sir.)
Harry Enfield got loads of material from these films. I'd love to see programmes today use this kind of commentary.
Excellent! Great to see this.☘️👍
I’ve seen that on British railways dvd
This film was on the edge of disintegrating when it was reprinted. You can see nitrate decomposition starting almost throughout.
Wow saving all of £2,000 so the directors can get a bonus.
There's nothing wrong with avoiding waste. Also, you wouldn't a great lump of coal braining somebody.🤕
@@garryferrington811nah the £2,000 was water saving. Not the over coaling.
amazing videoooooo. !!!
Interesting vidio, love these, I am building a 1,35 steam train at the moment.😊
Order, respect and discipline. Most now gone, along with the steamers. Long live Mr.Chomodley-Warner.
Ladies...know your limits and don't drive trains. Just look after fluffy kittens!
You cannot beat the clipped English accent.

OMG .. the WASH ROOM :)
Sir Very Good ... Keep it Up.
Bravo!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🍺🍺

American locomotives had sanders; can't say I've seen them on British ones in these educational films.
Very nice 👌 edges
Same background music as on "The Railroad Signal"
Fireman not cleaning his tools...*shakes head*
No one likes a dirty tool.
Nice
Seems that so far, 49 people object to being told not to get their wives' towels dirty.
53 now.
q bela oficina ferroviaria, muito bacana um tesouro raro #memoriaferroviaria
So if they need to clean the smoke box in Thomas who do they
The engines faces are blocking it
The faces are only present in the illustrations by artistic licence. The real engines don’t have faces. That would be silly!

5625 has a Longsight shedplate (9A), but is that the shed we see?

@@alanpugh7738 Thanks Alan. I'm too young to have known steam, but great-grandpa and grandpa were Monument Lane enginemen (3E) - long gone!
The narrator makes me think of Mr. Chumley Warner....
Mr.Morton-King!
Maravilhoso vídeo (São Paulo Brasil)
British steam engines running on British coal ❤️
We provide some good content for you.
Would love to see the Oxford educated narrator actually shovel some coal. For amusement and cruelty.
"Ectually my wife has the gardener to do thet sort of thing"..
Mostly amusement. LOL
One never knows, he may have. Not everyone stays in one job.

Bean counters.

back in those steam days that was a lot of hard labor for the men.
