Yes indeed Rich.
The old British toolmakers and fitters were excellent and this shows when you look around the colonies! There are still many year old engines and products that are working and have been repaired and/or reused for other uses.

Skills once lost or discarded tend to be lost until there is a real need to retrain. This comes at a cost, sometimes a very large cost.
