EP3 Car Wreckers Jan 01, 0001

What happens to a car you don't want anymore? It goes to the wrecking yard, then to the scrap yard and finally to the steel mill where it's recycled into different products. Every new car has steel from old cars in it. That's what recycling is all about.

EP4 Laying Down the Pipeline Jan 01, 0001

'Slab Hauler' is a big red machine with six huge tires and he guides us around a steel mill, after showing us how he can use his strong pincers to pick up slabs of hot steel and transport them to the slab yards and into the rolling mills.

When the job calls for lifting big and heavy objects onto an area where a regular crane can?t reach, like the middle of the roof of a giant warehouse or factory, an AIR CRANE does the job. A Sikorsky helicopter named Gipsy Lady has twin jet engines and very long rotors to manage the heavy weight of the transformers and air conditioning units she flies up and onto the centre of the factory roof.

EP10 Machines Go to School Nov 01, 2008

How do you think earth-moving machines learn to do their jobs? They go to school! It's not easy for Backhoe to dig a tidy trench, and Bulldozer has a difficult time buillding an earth ramp.

EP16 Sunken Treasure Hunt Nov 14, 2008

'Newt' is used to working in cold, dark and often murky water, so he doesn't get upset when he goes underwater and it's pretty mucky.

Maybe 'Newt' will get to be in the movies now!

EP18 Hot Off the Press Nov 16, 2008

4 stories high and almost as long as a city block, ?CHARLIE? the printing press is simply HUGE! But don?t worry, he?s a gentle giant and full of interesting stories; after all, he is printing the newspaper. We get a guided tour of how a big press works, from all the many rollers, to the folding section and the many conveyor belts that zip the finished papers along. WHOOPS! STOP THE PRESSES! The paper is torn. Can the workers fix it in time for the big press run?

Once the cars are loaded, the watertight doors are shut and we're on our way with a mighty blast from his gigantic ship's horn

EP24 Rolls and Robots Nov 23, 2008

The vast rolls of paper needed for the press are really heavy. A team of robots is at the ready to help collect them from the delivery trucks and organize them in the storage area.

EP25 The Car Crusher Nov 25, 2008

'Big Mouth' is a powerful hydraulic crusher and he is hungry for cars. He can't wait to get them into his giant jaws so he can squeeze them and crush them flat. 'Forks' stuffs the old cars into 'Big Mouth', gives them a couple of pokes to make them fit and then stands back while the crushing begins. One, two, three, four. Four cars squashed flat as a pancake perfect for loading onto the transport truck which hauls them to the scrap yard.

EP26 The Plate Making Machines Nov 30, 2008

An important part of the newspaper team is the crew of plate-making machines. They put all the words and pictures onto thin metal plates that go onto the drums of printing press. Each page of the newspaper gets its' own set of plates, and the plate-makers all have their favourite section; the front page, the sports section, and even the comics and the puzzle page.

EP27 The Big Press Run Dec 02, 2008

Everything is ready to go for ?Charlie? the printing press as he gears up to print 650,000 copies of the weekend edition.

EP46 Over the Mountain Pass Mar 16, 2009

It takes three strong engines to pull the passenger cars up the steep slopes of the mountain. To reach the pass at the top they give it all the energy they have. Hugging the sides of the mountain, crossing narrow bridges over cascading streams, and chugging through tunnels, the engines never fail to reach their goal. What great views!

Tow Truck, or T.T., is happy to show us where all of his equipment is stored neatly in compartments, ready for any job he might encounter on the highway. Chains, check. Tool box, check.
