Note, 76032 was built at British Railways’ Gorton works (works number 1039) circa 1951 as number 26032 (an E prefix to denote an electric locomotive was added to the number at some time, possibly in association with the introduction of the TOPS classification system in March 1968), being renumbered 76032 on 19th January 1972. It was withdrawn from Reddish Traction Maintenance Depot on 20th July 1981 and stored at Guide Bridge.

It was sold for scrap to Coopers Metals, arriving at Brightside on 18th March 1983 where it was cut up some time between 31st March and 7th April 1983
76053 was built at British Railways’ Gorton works (works number 1060) circa 1952 as number 26053 (an E prefix to denote an electric locomotive was added to the number at some time, possibly in association with the introduction of the TOPS classification system in March 1968) and was named PERSEUS without ceremony at Gorton works in October 1960, the nameplates being removed in 1970. It was renumbered 76053 in week ending 16th March 1974, was stored serviceable at Reddish Traction Maintenance Depot on 23rd June 1980 and reinstated to traffic on 11th September 1980.

Polanco (top), a 25-year-old heavy equipment mechanic for Combat Logistics Battalion 31, 31st Marine Expeditionary, and a native of Truth or Consequences, N.M., loosens a drive shaft mount with the assistance of Lance Cpl. Tanner M. Jones, a 19-year-old light armored vehicle mechanic for CLB-31, 31st MEU, and a native of Denver, Colo., in Bradshaw Field, Australia, Sept. 1, 2013. The Marines of CLB-31's maintenance section are working long days and late nights to keep pace with the required maintenance that comes with supporting the battalion-sized element currently executing Exercise Koolendong 13. Koolendong is a week-long, live-fire exercise that demonstrates the operational reach of the 31st MEU and reinforces why it is the force of choice for the Asia-Pacific region. Also participating in the exercise is the Marine Rotational Force - Darwin and soldiers of the 5th Royal Australian Army. The 31st MEU brings what it needs to sustain itself to accomplish the mission or to pave the way for follow-on forces. The size and composition of the 31st MEU makes it well suited for amphibious operations, which includes raids, assaults, evacuations and humanitarian assistance operations.

A big part of the racing is the amount of time and effort put in by the crew chiefs and maintenance guys & girls.

Built 1959
Retired from active use in October 1967 and allocated maintenance serial 7980M for ground instruction at Arborfield. Moved to the Moston College of Further Education in October 1975 and then to Tattershall Thorpe is January 1983. Having spent some time at the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre, East Kirkby, she joined the South Yorkshire Air Museum at Firbeck in 1993. The collection moved to its current location in 1999 and since then XM561 has finally settled down!
Her serial is incorrectly applied as XM651, which by way of contrast was actually an Avro Vulcan B2.

Lawton National Guard Armory Maintenance Garages
Designed by Paul Harris
Lawton, OK
1955
Here's a blurb about these great mid-century structures from the Central OK AIA's Celebrate 100 guide:
"Brimming with new ideas in design and materials, Lawton architect Paul Harris hoped to create a model armory. He chose a thin-shell concrete dome to define the drill hall space, with a low wing to house the offices. Adjacent to the armory, he placed two maintenance garages with sine-wave roofs.
Both attractive and functional, the structure is atypical for post-World War II armories. The concrete dome sits atop an aluminum-clad concrete wall that hides a vent system, which -- when combined with the enormous exhaust fan located at the dome's apex -- creates an efficient air-circulation system during hot weather. LIght is brought into the drill hall through circular skylights forming two concentric rings around the dome.
When conceived, Harris thought his relatively inexpensive and flexible disgn would serve as a model for future armories everywhere. For whatever reason, it was not to be, but his genius was recognized when the armory joined the National Register in 2007."
Personally, I've always been very interested in Paul Harris's work because it so mirrors the work my grandfather was doing in OKC at the same time. Harris designed several thin-shell, modern wonders in and around Lawton during the 50's, but he died in 1958 while still in his prime years, which is why I think he's largely forgotten today. It's too bad because he was a brilliant architect who deserves to be recognized for the innovative and very futuristic work he did.

Routine maintenance may not be exciting but it is essential to victory. It is also how Techno-Vipers prove themselves more skillful and intelligent than the others. Every Techno-Viper’s goal is to be personally selected by Cobra Commander to work on one of his mad inventions to take over the planet. World domination is not only a satisfying experience but financially lucrative as well.
At the Yorkshire Sculpture Park with the Holme Moss transmitter in the background. 228m (748 feet) high. The thin one next to it is a temporary one while maintenance takes place.
6A has been brought into the workshops at Belgrave ahead of scheduled maintenance of this ageing steam locomotive.
Later in the day it was temporarily returned to service after 14A developed a hotbox and was brought in for repairs.
Work to remove a BNSF concrete train bridge continues. Even with that large hydraulic “jaw” picking up chunks of debris, completion is taking longer than I thought it would because the bridge is resisting, but I am betting the removal crew will win.
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.

after chugging up the hill in 1st gear, we stopped to have a look at where would be the best place to set up camp for the night, and then Henry J refused to go into gear. Low range or high range. Mildly concerning.
