    I'd heard this used to happen but never believed it.

    Fantastic. There is a good new history of the torpedo out called, just "Torpedo" by Prof. Katherine C. Epstein.

Rolls Royce Cylinders at the Elswick Works

  • optimal chicken said:
    I hadn't realised this fact either! I'd assumed (never do that..) Rolls Royce took care of their own things elsewhere and not within another makers factory. These engine blocks may not have ended up as wartime equipment either - Rolls Royce were, and still are, renowned for their reliability. The engines could also have ended up in shunting locos or even rare items such as emergency winders for mines should their headgears fail.

Repairing locomotives at the Scotswood Works

    The boiler on the left appears to be under a steam test with pressure gauge, water level sight glass and temporary regulator handle. A fascinating photograph.
  • Billy Embleton said:
    Preassure testing yes, but with water. It was much safer.

    Armstrong, Tyneside repaired ex W.D. - R.O.D.'s post war, this may be what we are looking at, some of them were on sold to China. Whoops, looks like 'Tags' look like a brain-storming session! Nor can I see a 'train anywhere, and only barely half a locomotive.
