GWR Swindon Railway Works, where they built real Steam Engines 

My uncle Byron Williams worked there. My uncle John was a railway man and my father Vernon Williams was driver on the GWR

Lovely film, many facts included, which I had'nt known. I'm from LNER/ LMS metals as a young steam loco spotter. Now I'm an OAP, I cant see past the beauty and skill of the GWR. Modified Halls, 28xx's, churchward 43xx, all brilliant, and so many more super classes.

I used to be an LNER man,but on reflection,King&Castle class are the bees knees of steam locomotives.

If any of you get the chance, check out my Dad's book he just released. It's called 'The End Of The Line - The Last Ten Years At Swindon Works' by Ron Bateman. He started as an apprentice in 1977.

Coming across this superb video has made my day!

Lovely documentary. I had to giggle at the opening scenes of City of Truro. She's quite clearly running on the Severn Valley Railway but speeded-up.

Great to see Adrian Vaughan, he‘s written some really lovely Books, Signalman‘s Morning is really worth reading.

Top Class Thanks.

Excellent video

Brunel a flawed genius.

If I had my way works like swindon ect would still be producing steam locos

hello do u have any other videos of the blue wall and white roof swindon station back from 1985 ?? thanks its in this video at 24:08 thanks many thanks
