Maintenance Hangar 23, found of the Foundry of Hephaestus, a massive fleet tender. The Hephaestus houses some of the most advanced hangars and manufacturing facilities aboard a vessel in the GAIA navy. The work staff on the vessel receive a minimum of three years of training before being allowed a chance to serve aboard. The skills of those who work aboard are known throughout the populated systems, and lead to many successful careers after retirement from service.

Maintenance on our R32s cars will keep them on the rails until new R179 cars are delivered. We're doing a limited-scope maintenance makeover on four cars per week.
With their once-gleaming stainless-steel bodies dulled by age and their windows scarred by the negative attention of vandals, MTA New York City Transit's R32 subway cars are living out their final years of service until the arrival of their replacements. In order to make those last trips go more smoothly, however, the cars are "having a little work done."
The "Brightliners," as the Budd-built cars were dubbed upon their introduction into service back in 1964, were the first large fleet of stainless steel cars purchased by New York City Transit and the first corrosion resistant cars placed in service since the ten experimental cars purchased in 1949 by the New York City Board of Transportation.

Henryton State Hospital is a now-closed hospital complex in Marriottsville, in southern Carroll County, Maryland, just across the Howard County line. The complex is located within Patapsco Valley State Park and along its southern end runs CSX's Old Main Line Subdivision and is very close to the Henryton Tunnel. The Henryton State Hospital center, or the Henryton Tuberculosis Sanatorium as it was called, was erected in 1922 by the Maryland Board of Mental Hygiene. It was established as a facility to treat African Americans suffering from tuberculosis.[1] This was one of the first such facilities in Maryland erected to provide African Americans with the same level of treatment as whites.
The original complex opened in 1922 and consisted of 6 main buildings and one utility plant. These buildings were erected between the years of 1921 and 1923. The establishment of the Henryton Sanatorium was one of the final steps in Maryland’s program to treat all of the state's tubercular patients. In the late twenties and early thirties the tuberculosis rate among African Americans in Maryland was quadruple what the rate was among whites.[1] This placed a heavy burden on the hospital to deal with the increasing number of patients. In 1938 the hospital was budgeted $270,000 for the construction of new buildings to house 200 more patients.[1] The new buildings roughly doubled the size of the overall facility, and several more municipal buildings added even more space to the complex. However, by the time the new buildings were completed in 1946, the tuberculosis rates had dropped, leaving much more room than was necessary.
In the decades since the facility’s closure, the Henryton State Hospital complex has become a haven for vandals, drifters, and drug addicts. The façade of most of the buildings have been extensively damaged and are covered in graffiti. Most of the windows have been broken out, making the grounds around the hospital very dangerous. The doors to all of the buildings have been broken in, allowing access to the inside. Although the furnishings and equipment were removed before the facility closed, there is still remarkable damage from people going through. Henryton has been the site of many suspicious fires since its closure, the most well-known of them taking place in the early morning of December 19, 2007.[citation needed] Henryton caught fire on April 28, 2011.[2] Initial speculation of this fire was believed to be suspicious in nature, but after fire marshalls conducted their investigation, it was believed to have been sparked by a lightning strike in the roof area.[citation needed] Firefighters arrived on the scene with heavy fire throughout the roof. Severe storms had passed through the area during the time that the fire was reported.
Henryton has suffered from extensive damage over the years
In this incident, the auditorium and cafeteria sections of the complex were engulfed with flames. The blaze took 80 firefighters from 3 counties to extinguish. The burned areas have since been demolished and removed. The 2011 fire affected the Physician and Nurses Cottage, destroying the roof. Visiting the Henryton State Hospital complex without the expressed written consent of the Maryland DHMH is trespassing, but the possible charges and fines seem not to deter most vandals. However, the decades of wear on the buildings without maintenance and the presence of large quantities of asbestos make Henryton a dangerous place to explore.
Since its closing, many attempts to purchase the land have been made, but most potential buyers, after having been approved to buy, have had their proposal for usage vetoed by local government and the like.[citation needed] The land on which the old Henryton Center rests goes on the market occasionally (every 5–6 years or so) and then is removed from the market. The state of Maryland spends a large amount of money to maintain the property minimally and occasionally patrol, and it is an expense that the state seems eager to be rid of.
A real photo postcard showing a group of men working on railroad track maintenance (workers like these were sometimes called "gandy dancers").
The man on the left is using a track jack to adjust the height of a rail. The man next to him is posing with another tool, probably a sledge hammer. The boy in the middle is carrying a bucket. The fellow on the right is sitting on some sort of long bar—maybe a claw bar for pulling spikes—that appears to be wedged under one of the cross ties.

I've wanted to create a piece like this for as long as I've been using the LDD program, to add a scene to one of my models, instead of just a white, or coloured background. Unfortunately these seem to take a substantial amount of time, as I always over engineer them, and add great amounts of detail, but with my current free time being slim, I'm unable to put a background that I'm happy with to any of my models.
I've been thinking of a way to compromise, and although I'm happy with this project, I think it will be my only one like this. If I am to build any more, then I will simply have to put the time in wherever and whenever I can, and create something worthy of the effort.
My inspiration for this particular build came from when I saw Alex Sonny's contest entry piece, which is a simplistic, yet stunning piece of work. Even before I started building, my intention was never to copy his work brick for brick, but simply the concept, and so I sent him a short message just letting him know my intentions, and asking permission to use his idea. Both me, and Alex agreed that he didn't own the concept of a tank in a state of maintenance, but he was still very grateful that I asked first, and was kind enough to give me the go ahead.
You can find Alex's beautiful scene here, please do take a look.

The first thing you might notice about this area, is that it seems to be rather busy, and that is because the country is currently not officially at war with anyone, so workshops such as this are not as crowded as they are during wartime. Minor border skirmishes are still common, so troops, as well as tanks and other vehicles are still sent to border regions with countries that are considered a threat. Even during peacetime, tanks such as the Marauder are still deployed in considerable numbers to deter any envious neighbour nations from thinking we've become lax behind our walls.
This particular Marauder tank was one of the early models off of the production line, and has been in service for three years, but now during peacetime, the chance to recall such early models and upgrade them to newer specifications is ideal. Even though war machines are expected to be lost, and their life spans can often be short, regular maintenance is critical to keeping your armed forces running, and fighting. Even though it's not always possible to pull front line vehicles out of a fight just to oil the gears and change air filters, every effort is made to make sure that vehicles are serviced to a certain degree. Being in a well equipped workshop like this, there is nothing that can't be fixed, replaced, or improved. Every need of the tank is met here, be it from simply replacing worn track pins, to completely updating the entire operating system of the tank, and everything inbetween.
Tanks are driven into the workshop under their own power, and then lined up onto a long stretch of independent free moving rollers, until they're hooked into a conveyor system, which is controlled by a terminal located at the side of the line. The tank will be pulled to pre-set stops on the line, where various tasks will be completed, such as removing the gun barrel, hoisting the turret off of the hull, and removal of the engine. As this is an early model, it is in need of many upgrades, including a new braking system, but those bolts can be stubborn, and may require a little heat to be persuaded. The engine will be moved to a specialist area of the workshop for a strip down and full rebuild, this can take the longest time of all the separate jobs. It takes two men to push the engine down the line, a wheeled carriage does make it easier, but still not easy. A faulty fuel sender in one of the auxiliary fuel tanks has been causing trouble for some time, and if you're going to replace one, you might as well replace them both. Worn mounting brackets on the gun barrel can cause misalignment at longer ranges, but the Marauder has found to seldom suffer from this problem, however, while the tank is in the workshop, it makes sense to replace such a crucial part while you can. A barrel cleaning is something that can be done in the field, but it can be done with much greater care and detail in the workshop.
Getting that guy up that ladder was a bloody nightmare. Even the workshop needs repairs from time to time.
Part of the fun of this Top 1000 list thing is matching photos that kind-of, sorta fit with songs.
This one was particularly intriguing. The young lady in this photo is clearly fetching, but equally clearly is high maintenance.
Two songs, both Top 1000 locks, fit this candid shot very well -- James Brown's "I Can't Stand Myself (When You Touch Me)" and the Big Bopper's "Chantilly Lace." Though both have blatant femdom themes, the Big Bopper's take is much sunnier, so I'm going with that as the next addition to the Top 1000.

Chantilly lace and a pretty face
And a pony tail hanging down
That wiggle in the walk and giggle in the talk
Makes the world go round
There ain't nothing in the world like a big eyed girl
That makes me act so funny, make me spend my money
Make me feel real loose like a long necked goose
Like a girl, oh baby that's what I like
What's that baby
But, but, but, oh honey
But, oh baby you know what I like
[Chorus]
What's that honey
Pick you up at 8 and don't be late
But baby I ain't got no money honey
Oh alright baby you know what I like
[Chorus]
