Very interesting thanks. I suppose the need for electric locomotives was because steam locomotives were considered to be too much of a fire risk in a munitions yard.
Walter and his penchant for circles. 25 years here working in my trade, driving in circles. I've cursed him most days.
What have you done with Jago? Great video
This proposal could have provided much needed employment for demobbed troops and stood us in a better state of readiness in 1939.
We might have been producing all that ordnance and transport we had to import at that time.
One minute in, the background music is too loud, I'm out. Why do so many informative videos do this?
Must admit Steve I also thought initially the music was a tad loud, but it did quieten down a little later on.
Interesting video. Thanks
