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.

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?

American locomotives had sanders; can't say I've seen them on British ones in these educational films.

The faces are only present in the illustrations by artistic licence. The real engines don’t have faces. That would be silly!

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.

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.
