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 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.

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.

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!!

Thenk you, Mr Chumley-Warner for your commentary.  It was absolutely spiffing, what.

This film was on the edge of disintegrating when it was reprinted. You can see nitrate decomposition starting almost throughout.

Very nostalgic. Commentators sound today just as I remember them.
Actually very cosy.

I was  really enjoyed your video and it really helps me with my recovery from my brain tumour and stroke as I try to get back to my hobby
Thank 😊 you

You cannot beat the clipped English accent.

Seems that so far, 49 people object to being told not to get their wives' towels dirty.

My family worked on engines like this on the L N E R.

OMG .. the WASH ROOM :)

Harry Enfield got loads of material from these films. I'd love to see programmes today use this kind of commentary.

I keep watching these films, hoping to see my dad on the Footplate.  Never gets boring. 44yrs, service,  some spotter must've filmed him. 😎👍

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.

Fireman not cleaning his tools...*shakes head*

I love the jolly, yet totally random music, documentary makers used back in the 40's and 50's. I wonder whether it was seen as essential to imply progress and brighter days ahead, after 6 years of war?
