This place is absolutely amazing... It once employed 3000 people building stream trains and all railway kit from scratch. That is raw steel in one end steam engines, carriages, railway stations out the other. It produced a warships main gun barrel lathe in WW2. Awesome...
Here the sparks are produced from joining 2 pieces of rod with just DC current. No welding rods. Among other things this is done to produce very strong pick heads for railway workers (Chinese picks from bunnings don't cut it) We also saw forge work, industrial hammers, and the biggest forge tongs which took 6 blokes to lift.
We're going back again!!
