Designed and constructed to construct and launch V2 rockets on an industrial scale towards London (only 117 miles away), 'Building Project 21' was a behemoth of a hardened facility built between 1943 and 1944 into the side of a chalk quarry using revolutionary techniques. Thankfully the project was never fully completed and operational thanks to the persistence of the RAF in disrupting and destroying the facility.
The site is now a museum and many of the completed tunnels can still be explored as part of the experience.

CN 186 has nearly completed its long journey from Prince Rupert to Taschereau Yard in Montreal as it passes through Dorval.
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 2Β½ 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!

Graffiti artist Vulcan poses with his piece "Aerosol Ecstasy" in a playground in Harlem, NYC. Photographer Brian Albert (me) shot this sometime in the 80's. It was a pretty big production. We rented a gas generator to power some studio strobe lights. We didn't have much money so I bought Vulcan's white outfit at Macy's and returned them the day after the shoot for a refund (that's what starving photographers do). Vulcan's piece was amazing!
Cloud Generator, Dolomites..
I remember this scene well from our place near Rifuggio Locatelli, the clouds just seem to come of this mountain ridge in the distance, and I remember how the early morning light caught the top of it, revealing the textures of the mountain face

The Generator is the business end of the hydro-electric system and is rotated by the turbine below, which produces the electricity to be sent to the main grid to be used by the consumer.
The Generators were made by General Electric Co limited from Peterborough, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

This is one of the generators at the reconstructed Edison Lighting Plant. The building was moved to Greenfield Village from it's original site.
