Saw this cool video on Boing Boing and had to share it.
This describes the process of overhauling a British steam locomotive. It's fascinating to watch the craftsmen going about their work. Obviously steam trains require a tremendous investment in man-hours. According to the video, this entire process had to be repeated every 130,000 miles. Ouch!
I don't care though. They are still incredibly cool machines :)
