Built for (and won) the Eurobricks Pirate Community Build. Pretty difficult to be limited to only 16x16 studs, but I did my best.

37408 Loch Rannoch come off the Manchester lines and crosses into platform 6 with a Piccadilly to Cardiff service a lone basher pokes his head out of the first window. 408 would manage to see in its 40th Birthday being withdrawn on 1 August 2005 just one month and 15 days after it rolled out of the Vulcan Foundry.
Drab and dreary in comparison to the interstellar tankers, spacecraft in the giant orbital foundries were nonetheless essential. The intense heat and chemical corrosion would burn and erode any fancy paint job and so these ships were left in their bare metal.
Front to back are the following: a main-dynamo replacement carrier, a fuel-core carrier and a medium heat-exchanger tug.

Finch Foundry is a 19th-century water-powered forge situated in the village of Sticklepath near Okehampton, Devon, England. It was originally used to produce agricultural and mining hand tools and at its peak produced around 400 edge tools a day. It remained an active foundry until 1960 when the roof collapse. It was subsequently rebuilt by a local trust and in 1994 passed to the National Trust. It contains working examples of a tilt hammer, drop hammer, and shear hammer all powered by the three water wheels.
Visited the foundry in Sunderland this afternoon where they're casting new railings for Sunderland Minster.
Specialist Castings Ltd., the former Jennings Foundry, has a long history on Wearside stretching back 80 years and this afternoon, they were pouring molten metal into moulds, re-creating the original railing design.
This has been achieved by making moulds from a section of the railing around the Minster grounds.
The work is part of the Townscape Heritage Scheme which is seeing a number of projects underway after Sunderland City Council was successfully awarded £1.9m from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
One of the projects underway is on the site of what was the historic village of Bishopwearmouth, part of the Bishopwearmouth Conservation Area.
The work, includes landscaping, new paving, lighting, street furniture and planting.

Irrigation helps maximize strawberry yields in several ways. Regular watering produces large plants with large leaf surfaces, which in turn produce more flowers and later, more fruit. The practice also helps establish new plantings and runner rooting. www.gov.mb.ca/agriculture/crops/production/fruit-crops/pr...
Established in 1570, the Whitechapel Bell Foundry is Britain's oldest manufacturing company. Specialising in the casting of church/tower bells, the foundry has been based at its current premises since 1738.
The foundry is most famous for casting Big Ben and the original Liberty Bell.
In December 2016, the foundry announced that they would cease activities at their Whitechapel Road site in May 2017 – the foundry buildings have been sold to an anonymous developer.

The activity of the workers in a small artisanal foundry of aluminium (Madagascar).
From the heart of Madagascar’s highlands comes a craft both timeless and essential.
In this part of the country, small artisanal foundries turn recycled aluminum from cans, scrap metal and bolts into pots, pans and decorative pieces like lemurs, zebus and baobabs.
Artisans melt aluminum in brick furnaces heated by charcoal, pour it into hand-carved sand molds and polish each piece to a brilliant shine.
This tradition began over a century ago when aluminum has been introduced to the town after World War I.
This legacy continues today in family-run workshops.

If you heard the thump of the big hammers when passing the foundry, it was always worth sticking your head round the door to wonder at work in progress on the red hot steel ingots. Sandaoling coal mining complex, Xinjiang Province, western China.

Honestly, this place begged for the company of photographers. It's voice was ancient but almost pleading with urgency. My friends and I were bewitched by the place. We formalized a photographers co-operative for the purpose of exploiting this hidden treasure. We wandered with our gear over railroad tracks, down overgrown trails through the tangled woodland, in and out of the skeletal ruins, freezing and sneezing in snow and ice storms and sweltering in bugs and vines over the seasons of three years. It was a visual sirens song.
The entire relic and all the surrounding woodland has now been scraped away and made into a toxic waste dump for a large paper corporation.
I have been going through hundreds of negatives looking for the best Flickr fodder in the lot. The muse still has fire for the place when I print this stuff. As long as these images persist so does the old foundry along with a hundred and fifty years of hidden history.

The Foundry at the National Slate Museum in Llanberis. This site was supplying and maintaining the massive Dinorwic quarry until 1969.
An entry in the Guinness Book of Records lists the Whitechapel Bell Foundry as Britain's oldest manufacturing company, having been established in 1570, during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, and being in continuous business since that date. In 1970, therefore, the Foundry celebrated its quatercentenary
The company was founded by Robert Mot in 1570 and continued casting bells until May 2017.
Whitechapel's famous bells include the original Liberty Bell (1752), the Great Bell of Montreal and, probably best known of all, Big Ben at the Palace of Westminster. Cast in 1858, this is the largest bell ever cast at Whitechapel, weighing 13½ tons.
The foundry closed on 12th June 2017, after nearly 450 years of bell-making and 250 years at its Whitechapel site, with the final bell cast given to the Museum of London along with other artefacts used in the manufacturing process
