Based off an older model of mine, which used to reside in my city, I rennovated this Power Generator for the GTW LUG's Cyberpunk display which was at The National Shrine of Our Lady of the Snows this past year. Unlike most of my other MOCs this one was made with out the use of LDD or Studio. It was all free hand.
Amid the gloom of a late autumn evening at Dundee Tay Bridge station, Gateshead's generator 47412 has arrived with 1E26 16:30 Aberdeen to Leeds. In the bay platforms to the left, Haymarket's class 101 204 has just arrived with 2L52 16:23 from Edinburgh as 101 222 waits to leave with 2P15 18:10 to Perth.

So at last I can reveal the shield generator! However I have a confession: It's only half a shield generator. And at that, the two rings I have built are only finished on one side. It will take many more Bricklink orders to complete. I added some flames to suggest the empire at in the middle of destroying it! I hope you enjoy what I've done so far. I'll be displaying it at a show in Ireland next weekend.

This was a permission visit after sunrise.
A revisit to a local scrapyard that had loads of barn finds and salvage vehicles. Due to the council and environmental changes, a lot of the stuff had to be removed but there were some bits n pieces left in the buildings.

Before General Veers destroyed the Rebels' main power generator, he sent a recon force to scout ahead and take out the rebels guarding the generator.
Some how I had lost the original so, I had to steal this from one of my sites. Sorry for the low quality.
An Ingersoll-Rand mobile generator. Old enough to tha a crank to start it (seen in the lower center).
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 2½ 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!

Network Rail Generator Fitted Mk2F DBSO No. 9701 is seen here passing through Maryhill Station Platform 2 on a bright sunny July evening while sandwiched between DRS Class 37/0 No. 37038 and Mk2F PLPR Ex Gatwick Express Class 488/3 Coach) No. 72639.
This was service 1Q80 which was the 15:56 Mossend Down to Mossend Down Yard [Network Rail Plain Line Pattern Recognition 'PLPR' Track Inspection Train].
a close up shot of one of the wheels on the gigantic refrigeration generator left behind at the abandoned armour meat packing plant in national city, illinois right outside of east st. louis.
if you look closly on the wheel, you can see the peeling paint remains from the gold pinstriping - they just don't make things like they use too.

The quiet places.
These are one of the things I enjoy most about my photography - the thrill of discovering and seeing with my own eyes the remote, little known and sometimes utterly deserted sites built on by man. I have no doubt of those thus far encountered, the vast majority I would never have visited (nor even known about) were it not for my desire to commit scenes like this one to permanent media. It's odd though, you'd be forgiven for thinking within this wide scope I might include historic buildings - abandoned churches, castles and the like, and in some cases you'd be right - except commonly these are still frequented by people and as such their interest wains for me. So how do I categorise these quiet places? Well, there are no hard and fast rules, but generally I find the less appeal a location has to the masses the more it holds for me. Old industrial sites, fortified remnants of the world wars, lighthouses, forgotten mines, ruined bridges and so forth all intrigue me. Does it have a single lane road, near-impassable dirt track or nothing at all leading to it? Chances are I will want to go there! Not listed on a map, cordoned off, hidden from sight by near-impregnable undergrowth? Tell me, where is it?!
So why do I like them so much? Well, leaving besides the obvious photographic possibilities, it's something about their auras. In my previous post I touched on how noise seems strangely amplified at night once people are sleeping - paradoxically enhanced when there's nobody to hear it. Of course, the cacophany we all make as we go about our daily lives is enough to drown out or deaden anything, and as you'll know visiting the kitchen in the middle of the night for a drink of water, or perhaps driving home after a night out with friends has a very different vibe than when all are awake and switched on... People create their own buzz, generating conflicting moods and atmospheres - they impress them not only upon themselves and others but also physical locations. Remove the people and the impressions fade. Remove them long enough and they vanish forever.
This building isn't completely bereft of activity, as you can perhaps tell from it's well maintained blockwork and fresh paint. It houses emergency generators for a working lighthouse, together with the frequency generators for a fog horn contained in the smaller building to the right. Despite this, just yards away is a row of five cottages that have remained empty for a decade, currently on the market for just under £1,000,000 the lot - or alternatively the same money will buy you the old, defunct lighthouse complex nearby now operating as a holiday let. Given the setting's extremely remote placement, as soon as I arrived I began to feel that familiar aura - an unmistakeable sense of solitude and calm. I've thought long and hard for a word that best describes my reaction to the mood(?), atmosphere(?), or ambience(?) that hits me when I'm at one of these quiet places. The closest I've come up with is reverence. It's a sense of profound pleasure at having been fortunate enough to visit, and a conscious, palpable regret that I may never have the opportunity to return.
When I occasionally meet other people at sites like this, I groan inwardly - knowing that social nicety (combined with the fact I have a camera on a tripod ergo instigating a talking point) will dictate us to interact, however briefly. It's not that I'm unsociable (my wife may disagree!), but I'm content in my own company. How odd then that conversely, chance encounters at quiet places are often with the most agreeable people one could hope to meet - as was the case here when Nick and Helen, as they introduced themselves, appeared beside me. We chatted a while about this and that before they headed on their way. My belief is a part of most of us enjoys these quiet places, yet at the same time we need affirmation that people are still within easy reach.
Hi Nick. Hi Helen.

47404 820428 Guide Bridge Light
When the HST's took over the main ECML services alot of loco's were displaced to other duties.
The Deltics were removed from service fairly smartly but the Class 47's had further use and were moverd to Gateshead and deployed on Trans-Pennine duties and were generally spruced up and most were given names related to the North East.
Here 47404 Hardian is seen leaving Guide Bridge having been refuelled on the nearby depot. 28th April 1982
This is how they did it back in the good ol' days when a generator had to be moved from one spot to another. Since it is on a sled - I am assuming that it was last used during the winter months. I found this gem up in the 40 mile country in Alaska. I thought that some of my Flickr friends might get a kick out of it's size. These days a 2000 watt generator is easily lifted and transported anywhere. Many people use them for camping out, or for emergency situations. It sure beats hooking up the horses, then hooking up to a sled, in order to haul power out to a remote site - like they had to do during the gold rush days.

47418 derailed at the top of platform 5 at Liverpool Lime Street on 5th August 1984.
I seem to recall the Brush was bringing in a set of ECS for a Pennine service. and it looks like a case of road-spread as it appears to have derailed on plain line. Not massively spectacular and the only indication it has derailed is the proximity of the engine to the stock on platform 6!
This was a pretty unlucky loco - it was involved in a collision at Lunan Bay in Scotland in October 1975 when 40011 assisted it in rear, and promptly collided with the train causing 38 injuries and one fatality. In June 1976 it ran into a load of derailed track panels near Laurencekirk and itself derailed, with one rail entering the cab, another puncturing the fuel tank and another entering the engine room!
Its luck finally ran out in August 1992 when it was withdrawn. The loco was scrapped at Frodingham in December 1995.
I can get a record player, and a generator. Generate the music that makes you feel better.
i dont live in poverty, i got a little bit of money and i've got a healthy body. I'm not going to let stuff get me upset, and i wont let all the little things get me depressed.
when i was a young boy i got a stereo and i taped all the songs straight off the radio.
the sounds that the bands made, and the melodies is all i need to make me feel free.
sometimes you get so low, you don't know why, or a little upset all inside. May i remind you? that you don't live in poverty, you got your youth, and you got food in your belly.
