  • Amazing photos, nice quick insight into how the work progressed to build steam locomotive.

  • @sambear0 Thanks for your comment!

  • Were these taken from a french film about loco construction?The images I'm sure I have seen in the film,

  • @silver760 They're from the U.S. Library of Congress, so the the film you saw may have gotten them from there as well.

  • :50 three cylinders!

    Wish the photos were sharper.

    Would love to see when they roll the drivers and wheels onto rails for the firstime. They will stay there from then on!

    Interesting! Thank you, Mad.

  • @robertgift Thanks for your comment. If you click on the "360p" on the lower right of the picture you'll see the option of 720p HD. Click on that and the pictures will be plenty sharp.

  • Im wondering if anyone would know how much time went into one locomotive and how much did they sell for back then?

  • That would have been during a great time in the history of steam. Thanks for commenting!

  • My great-great grandfather worked at Robert Stephenson Locomotive Company in Newcastle, England.

  • Glad you liked it!
