    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.

    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'.

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

      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!

    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.

    • @PreservationEnthusiast
      @PreservationEnthusiast 6 лет назад +1

      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.
