A locomotive is born

I found this video on the net. It is a 10 min long silent movie. They build an old steam loco from pattern shop to roller. I thought some here might be interested) There are some big machines being used here!!! Enjoy.

Kind of makes you want to build a 1:1 model engine. Now if I can just build a bigger shop.... ;D

Thanks, cool video.

Thanks for posting that. Really interesting. I like how they used the roller chain to get the right contour on the springs.

Cool.. Is there more of that video anywhere? I love the forging parts-- "hey Joe, go stick your head in there and part off a little bit"

That's a really interesting video. The loco shop still stands, however it now houses a grocery store. Most of the rest of the site has apartments and condos on it.
