  awesome! Historic shot, even if there are not any more huge reciprocating engines, that engine room is a real piece of history!

  I was always fascinated by these and wondered how they could tell them apart? Imagine the chaos if he had a few jars on when operating these???

• Robert Lesti said:

  When my father was young, he did the same work.

• National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:

  Robert Lesti Careful and skilled work, I would imagine and Swordscookie sober work!!

• Swordscookie said:

  I was just kidding about the drink though you can be sure it happened, if caught instant dismissal! These guys were so used to things and had plates on the critical ones to tell them what was what and where they went. I remember wathcing some of them in action and they looking like conductors of orchestra's they were so good at their work.

  I've got a photo of my great uncle David in the same environment and in the exact same position when he worked for British Rail in Dumfrieshire!
