Turn of the Wheel - Look at Life - Transport Films - 1964 - Full HD

This film, part of the Look At Life series explores the various ways folk put old disused items of transport back into use. Fascinating archive of engines and rolling stock being cut up for scrap and factory footage of the 'new' diesel locomotives being assembled. We take a glimpse into the lives of people upcyling railway memorabilia, steam wagons and rollers and there's great footage of a Wynns Pacific transporting a steam locomotive to a museum.

All that scrap, I bet there were some right fiddles go on there.

Wouldn't the heritage railways love to get their hands on these carriages ans steam locomotives?

I just read the narrator has been dead for 34 years. Only was 63 What a lucky man that he doesn't have to experience the shitty world of today.

The Newmarket station has been demolished in the 80s unfortunately
