A couple of items from Ian Carney, Drilling Square Holes and Glass Steam Engine.
From Tony Alderman, an aeroplane that flies like a bird.
George Clark's been looking at the Southern Railway Films. A couple of suggestions: Steam Days at London Waterloo and Brighton Shed in the late 1930s. Also, George has reminded me of this film which has been on my list to recommend: Vanishing Coal Mines of Pingxi Valley.
And finally, I was forwarded a recommendation from Chris Webster. Some cracking photos of US railroad subjects Lost Tracks of Time.
Previous Recommendations
