Based off an older model of mine, which used to reside in my city, I rennovated this Power Generator for the GTW LUG's Cyberpunk display which was at The National Shrine of Our Lady of the Snows this past year. Unlike most of my other MOCs this one was made with out the use of LDD or Studio. It was all free hand.
Day 80
We are off grid. This is the generator. It replaced two smaller generators that were dying a quick death. We carried it on a trailer from the UK to France. It was a very slow trip. When we got it here we couldn't get it up the hill due to the drive being very wet and muddy. Phil asked around about getting a tractor to get the trailer up the hill. The local mayor said he could do it and would be around in a few days. The mayor came about a week later a day before we had to leave. He said he'd come back first thing the next day when the ground was cold. We were so happy when he came and brought it up the drive. I could have kissed him!! He helped us roll it into place in the garage.
We took one of the old generators back to the UK. On the way (still in France) we suddenly heard a horrible screaching noise! Phil stopped and found the generator had fallen through the floor boards of the trailer. We struggeled to lift it but to no avail. Fortunately, this happened in front of a garage. Phil offered them the generator if they could help us get it out. They had a jack and lifted the trailer to get it out.
Lots more happened on that trip that I will never forget. The one thing I got from it was how nice the French really are and we were grateful!

This was a permission visit after sunrise.
A revisit to a local scrapyard that had loads of barn finds and salvage vehicles. Due to the council and environmental changes, a lot of the stuff had to be removed but there were some bits n pieces left in the buildings.
Generator wire holder that allows for easy removal. The customer came up with this idea and made it. I think I'll use this idea again. It's quite clever and effective.
The DPU for a northbound high-wide movement carrying wind turbine hubs and generators shoves up Track 80 of the KCT North-South Corridor at 23rd St. Due to the enormity of these wind turbine parts, this train is a no pass - no meet movement across the KCT up to the Gooseneck and across the Hannibal Bridge. A couple more GEs were on the head end of this train. 8/20/17.
Before General Veers destroyed the Rebels' main power generator, he sent a recon force to scout ahead and take out the rebels guarding the generator.
Some how I had lost the original so, I had to steal this from one of my sites. Sorry for the low quality.
This picture and some others were sent to me as advertisements so I figured I could use them my way and that was to play with.. If you put it in my mailbox then It's mine.. LOL!! Processed with the online processor Deep Dream Generator...
a close up shot of one of the wheels on the gigantic refrigeration generator left behind at the abandoned armour meat packing plant in national city, illinois right outside of east st. louis.
if you look closly on the wheel, you can see the peeling paint remains from the gold pinstriping - they just don't make things like they use too.
YOUR COMMENT IS THE GREATEST "AWARD" YOU COULD GIVE -- No graphics please.

The quiet places.
These are one of the things I enjoy most about my photography - the thrill of discovering and seeing with my own eyes the remote, little known and sometimes utterly deserted sites built on by man. I have no doubt of those thus far encountered, the vast majority I would never have visited (nor even known about) were it not for my desire to commit scenes like this one to permanent media. It's odd though, you'd be forgiven for thinking within this wide scope I might include historic buildings - abandoned churches, castles and the like, and in some cases you'd be right - except commonly these are still frequented by people and as such their interest wains for me. So how do I categorise these quiet places? Well, there are no hard and fast rules, but generally I find the less appeal a location has to the masses the more it holds for me. Old industrial sites, fortified remnants of the world wars, lighthouses, forgotten mines, ruined bridges and so forth all intrigue me. Does it have a single lane road, near-impassable dirt track or nothing at all leading to it? Chances are I will want to go there! Not listed on a map, cordoned off, hidden from sight by near-impregnable undergrowth? Tell me, where is it?!
So why do I like them so much? Well, leaving besides the obvious photographic possibilities, it's something about their auras. In my previous post I touched on how noise seems strangely amplified at night once people are sleeping - paradoxically enhanced when there's nobody to hear it. Of course, the cacophany we all make as we go about our daily lives is enough to drown out or deaden anything, and as you'll know visiting the kitchen in the middle of the night for a drink of water, or perhaps driving home after a night out with friends has a very different vibe than when all are awake and switched on... People create their own buzz, generating conflicting moods and atmospheres - they impress them not only upon themselves and others but also physical locations. Remove the people and the impressions fade. Remove them long enough and they vanish forever.
This building isn't completely bereft of activity, as you can perhaps tell from it's well maintained blockwork and fresh paint. It houses emergency generators for a working lighthouse, together with the frequency generators for a fog horn contained in the smaller building to the right. Despite this, just yards away is a row of five cottages that have remained empty for a decade, currently on the market for just under £1,000,000 the lot - or alternatively the same money will buy you the old, defunct lighthouse complex nearby now operating as a holiday let. Given the setting's extremely remote placement, as soon as I arrived I began to feel that familiar aura - an unmistakeable sense of solitude and calm. I've thought long and hard for a word that best describes my reaction to the mood(?), atmosphere(?), or ambience(?) that hits me when I'm at one of these quiet places. The closest I've come up with is reverence. It's a sense of profound pleasure at having been fortunate enough to visit, and a conscious, palpable regret that I may never have the opportunity to return.
When I occasionally meet other people at sites like this, I groan inwardly - knowing that social nicety (combined with the fact I have a camera on a tripod ergo instigating a talking point) will dictate us to interact, however briefly. It's not that I'm unsociable (my wife may disagree!), but I'm content in my own company. How odd then that conversely, chance encounters at quiet places are often with the most agreeable people one could hope to meet - as was the case here when Nick and Helen, as they introduced themselves, appeared beside me. We chatted a while about this and that before they headed on their way. My belief is a part of most of us enjoys these quiet places, yet at the same time we need affirmation that people are still within easy reach.
Hi Nick. Hi Helen.

People have asked how I built the shield generator. Here's the full technique. The outer uses 2x8 plates, with a 2x3 separating one end, and a 1x2-1x2 bracket attaching the curves (I tried using 1x2-1x4s, but the inner ring wouldn't fit on one side with them). Every fifth 2x8 plate has clips inserted to attach flex hose. The inner ring uses 1x4 plateswith a dot and bracked on one end, and a clip on the other. the clips are only half pressed in to their neighbours, so the spacing is 2½ plates at the inside end, and 3 plates at the outer end. Four inner segments are needed for every 5 outer segments. I did find the spacing of the inner segments slightly wider, so when building the full disc, it was necessary to sneak a few extra plates into the outer ring to compensate.
Hope this gives people enough to get started.
Sorry about the multi-coloured 2x8 plates - I used up all the grey ones!
