The Workshops Rail Museum - Old Pictures

Since the workshops were active for about a century much of the great old machinery was replaced long ago. As a consolation, here are a few pictures of old pictures.




A crop of the disc sander in the previous photo. A very beefy construction for a what looks to be only a 24" disc.






When I commented that this was a decent sized lathe our guide told me about how four such beasts were built on site to assist with the Workshops part in war production. It appears that the tail stock makes a second smaller headstock for, um, light work?


The workshops were not only one of a number of maintenance shops, they also built locomotives and other rolling stock.
