Wow! Really interesting, the scale of some of the machinery etc is awesome and it's easy to forget that back then it all started with a pencil and paper - no computer software for drawings and calculations etc. Impressive Thumbs Up

I spotted one or two health and safety issues in there though...... Shocked Laughing

Back when a bloke with a slide rule and a pen could create a locomotive capable of 3,300 horsepower at the drawbar (measured by the first coach on the train through it's coupling)
