great video, I didnt realise how big the factory was, I always thought Maxitrak was a home run bussiness. Nothing on the scale of having such large machines etc. I would love to see more of your factory and the different aspects if you have more time. Thanks for the upload!

I'm going to do a whole set of clips showing all the different technologies we use, so there will be more! in the fullness of time I'll do machining, boiler making, fabrication, painting & lining, and probably loco maintenance!
