The dramatic music was most impressive: it's like a 1930's thriller. I've had the thrilling experience of being inside the firebox of 5025 with a flarelamp changing firebars, an experience I'll always remember (the shed had been hit by lightning the night before and the mains electric had been killed). The sudden change to colour was quite unexpected. It reminded me of 'If'.
I noticed they made a special effort to prevent harmonic vibrations from inducing a bad finish in the cylinders while boring them by wrapping the cylinder in gun cotton held in place by chicken wire to absorb those harmonics. Old school technique still used today in some larger applications. During some of my hobby shop lathing, I still used a bunch of rubber bands around a smaller cylinder to squelch thoee vibes.
Ob Fuscated Well it's all irrelevant, sonic or ultrasonic, this loco was ripped apart with cutting torches and melted down for scrap in the 1960s. Torch this loco!

Gentlemen. It Takes 2 Weeks And 24 Hours To Get 5605 Solved From The Problem. But Indeed. It's Agreed For The General Repair. And That Takes 14 Days. Cup Of Tea Gentlemen I Say?
Yes and no. Mainly people are "above" working with their hands or getting dirty. However, look at the preservation scene, the amazing rescue of the DoG and the newly built Tornado. I'm with you though, so much wasted potential.
So my question. How come there is no brick arch in the loco at the beginning when the inspector is checking the boiler stays. Would the arch of been removed just for his visit knowing the engine would of been worked on regardless or would they of put a new arch back in if he found the boiler was still sound?
Wouldn’t being inside a boiler freak you out? Not just the fact that there’s a lot of fumes that are harmful to someone’s lungs, I wouldn’t want to be standing in a place where raging flames happen regularly in a tight confined space.

SteamLocoScrapper that maybe true however just because you can get something from another place cheaper doesn't mean that you should. Alot can be said about quality and pride in our skilled craftsmanship.
Michael Brandon Who is to say the foreign workers don't have skill and pride in their workmanship. You seem to be slightly xenophobic advocating we shouldn't buy cheaper, better locos made overseas and rather place the contracts in the UK for some intangible reason you haven't yet made clear.
SteamLocoScrapper SteamLocoScrapper you have a few assumptions that you are accusing me of I never said other workers don't have skills. Also I never said that we shouldn't buy from anywhere else, just stating that we don't have to.
Love the optimism of the narrator that everything was finished on time.

Did he just light a smoke from a rivet? Brilliant!

I had a video of this over 20 years ago, but it got damaged. Many thanks for uploading it! :)
No you did not. Это было только что записано моим другом во Владивостоке недавно.
9:35 imagine doing that today, lighting up a roll up on red hot metal and smoking while working..
Haha.the heath and safety man would have you by the rivets......
That sounds like it could be the start of a great hip hop music video

Before there was ultrasonic inspection, there was sonic inspection. Interesting what a hammer tap will reveal.

Excellent video, pride in work.
My father thanks you.
Superb, when things were done correctly!
Except for health and safety it appears. Enough violations to shut down the shop by today's standards.
Bah - Caley men (in glasgow) were forever re-working the Derby repairs....
No hard hats,no safety glasses probably no safety shoes!
I will be the chap with the whistle. Nice and interesting film today's life is not pleasant
Nice sound you do like your 37,s mate cheers Tony.
@9.15 plenty of asbestos there on the cylinder housings
British Engineering at its best.
No - not engineering - that was done back in the office. This is craftsmanship!
@@andro7137 your right there, British Craftsman ship
of the highest order. back when the UK was the workshop of the world.
When you get through an overhaul that fast, I wonder how long it takes to straighten it all out back at the running shed?

I think what we in USA call the 'time study' men were likely not greatest nicely by the men doing the work.
What a shame all those wonderful engineering skills have been all but lost today. Elf and safety - tosh!
The skills remain, the place to do it, doesn't. Health and safety exists because things went wrong at other times

*Joe Brown* (he of the *Bruvvers* ) was regularly in his youth. He played cards in there.
If you don't mind the confined space and fit through the door it's not too bad.

This loco was cut for scrap in the early 1960s. Good riddance to crap. Now we can buy our locos much cheaper from overseas.
LocoScrapper love the sarcasm
Michael Brandon Its not sarcasm, we can buy locos overseas cheaper than we can make them here.
