Hi Guys Watched The Hairy Bikers : Restoration Road Trip last night on BBC 2. Showed restoration of a Beam Engine, and a Railway Engine. Worth a watch if anyone missed it. The wheel casting was very interesting. Cheers David |

Oh I meant to watch that. Luckily it's on BBC iplayer (only avilable to folk in the UK though, plus it wont stay up forever) http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b039f82d/The_Hairy_Bikers_Restoration_Road_Trip_Episode_3/ Watched half of it now. It's better than some of the engineering shows i've tried watch recently, but I still miss the days when shows on these subjects were presented by enthusiastic people who knew their stuff and were making an honest attempt to explain what was going on, without glossing over details and relying too much on spectacle. |

Yes I'd echo that thought - everything these days has to be 'a show' dumbed down for the masses and looses much of the technical detail in favour of dramatic effects. |
