[AT] OT - How a steam locomotive gets built in 1935

[jtchall at nc.rr.com]

Thanks for posting! I've got a few folks to share this with.

To really appreciate the manufacturing process in the video, you have to 
realize this would be no simple feat today. I often look at old iron from a 
machining aspect and wonder how they did that considering the lack of 
carbide tooling, advanced cutting fluids, and no computers to build solid 
models to see if it would all fit together. Highly skilled and extremely 
smart craftsmen to put it lightly!

If you have a fast internet connection and twenty minutes to watch this
video, it's fascinating.

A documentary film made in 1935, showing the processes of steam
locomotive building, including casting, forging, machining, and assembly.
