'Power to Order' follows the production of a steam locomotive at the renowned Doncaster works.

'Railways are the arteries of industrial Britain's trade. British engineering skill and British steel have made our engines famous all over the world. In this film an engine is built. The growing engine is followed through the boiler-shop, the machine-shop and the assembly-shop.'
(Films of Britain - British Council Film Department Catalogue - 1941)
