Inside Stephenson’s 1825 Factory: How Locomotion No. 1 Was Built

Описание: How did a single machine change the world forever? Welcome to Massive Works. In this episode, we go back to 1825 to witness the step-by-step manufacturing of George Stephenson’s Locomotion No. 1—the world's first steam-powered passenger train.

From the painstaking hammering of curved iron plates to the high-precision boring of the massive steam cylinders, we explore the grueling and brilliant engineering that launched the railway age.

In this video, we explore:

🏗️ The Boiler Build: How iron end caps were manually bolted to withstand intense steam pressure [05:23].

⚙️ Precision Boring: The specialized machine shop process used to create smooth, high-tolerance cylinders [06:01].

🔥 Thermodynamics: Why Stephenson used pine wood lagging to insulate the boiler [11:44].

🚀 The Maiden Journey: The historic moment the Stockton and Darlington Railway began [14:08].
