As the U.S. entered the electric age, the 30 to 40 feet of water height, or “head,” at the falls was a natural for power generation, and the location was promoted as the “Niagara Falls of the West.”

Using generators originally employed in a Portland sawmill, the Willamette Falls Electric Company, a precursor of Portland General Electric, produced the nation’s first long-distance transmission of electricity on June 3, 1889. Power traveled from Station A in Oregon City to the streetlights in Portland 14 miles away.

The T.W. Sullivan Plant is born

Station B opened on the West Linn side of Willamette Falls in 1895. PGE closed Station A in 1897, but B continued operation, taking the name in 1953 of the PGE hydraulic engineer who designed the station, Thomas W. Sullivan. The entire development was called the Willamette Falls Hydroelectric Project.

By that year, the plant was generating 16,000 kilowatts, which it still does today.

Really old build, but just something to post so that you guys know I'm not dead. I have been incredibly busy this past year, which is the reason for the lack of uploads, but I'm back now, and you guys can expect to see some builds and other stuff soon. Anyway, this build is meant to be a microscale transporter of troops or supplies. Really pleased with the shape, and how bulky it looks. For comparison purposes, I think of it being about the height of an AT-AT.

we worked up an appetite during our second photo-stroll this week. we already had lunch at our favorite mediterranean joint and then decided to have a couple slices of "supreme" at little five points pizza before heading home. todd patiently waited for me to finally get a shot that wasn't blurry. i think his pizza got a bit cold. :-)
