Former BG modified as a Generator Van as used on the Inverness -London Sleeper Service with pairs of "no heat" Class 37/0's or 37/5's.
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Its luck finally ran out in August 1992 when it was withdrawn.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.

Kidwelly Brick Works to the north of Kidwelly station was opened c.1858 by William Edwards of Swansea. This site ceased operation in c.1903. A new works was built to the south of of the railway station by Alderman Daniel Stephens which opened in 1903. Stephens worked silica from Mynydd-y-Garreg and this was brought into the works via train. Up to 1927 the firm was known as Stephens & Co, but later as Beynon Davies Civils Ltd.
These photographs, taken in March 2017, showcase the building as it stands today.
Inspiration for the framing of the shots came from the 1975 New Topographics exhibition.
From March till May 2014 Dutch artist Theo Jansen exhibits his stunning work of so-called 'Strandbeesten' at the E.ON Electriciteitsfabriek (Electricity Factory) in The Hague, the Netherlands.
In 1990, Theo Jansen (born 1948) began what he is known for today: building large mechanisms out of PVC that are able to move on their own, known as Strandbeest (Dutch: strand=beach; beest=beast). His animated works are a fusion of art and engineering. He strives to equip his creations with their own artificial intelligence so they can avoid obstacles by changing course when one is detected, such as the sea itself. What was at first a rudimentary breed has slowly evolved into a generation of machines that are able to react to their environment. Constructed as intricate assemblages of piping, wood, and wing-like sails, Jansen's creations are constantly being improved and have become excellently adapted to their sandy beach environment.

Op vrijdag 14 maart 2014 opende in de Electriciteitsfabriek de tentoonstelling "Generator Strandbeest" rond het werk van kunstenaar en uitvinder Theo Jansen. De expositie is een absolute aanrader! Tijdens de opening deed Kamerkoor Kwintessens uit Den Haag er nog een schepje magie bovenop en klonk het prachtige "Da pacem Domine" van Arvo Pärt in de gigantische turbinehal.
Theo Jansen is een Nederlandse kunstenaar-uitvinder die vooral bekendheid geniet vanwege zijn zogenaamde "Strandbeesten". Deze spectaculaire wezens zijn gebouwd van pvc-buizen en plastic flessen, en lijken echt te leven. Sinds 1990 probeert Theo Jansen in zijn kunst levende wezens zo goed mogelijk te benaderen. Het resultaat zijn reusachtige geraamtes gemaakt van vaak honderden pvc-buizen. De geraamtes bewegen op windenergie. Zij lopen op dezelfde manier als wezens uit de natuur.
Tot begin mei 2014 presenteert Jansen zijn werk in de industriële en poëtische turbinehal van de E.ON Electriciteitsfabriek in Den Haag, waar het maakproces van een nieuw Strandbeest van dichtbij te volgen is. In de hal construeert Jansen een groot, nieuw dier: de Animaris Suspendisse (10 x 4 meter, bij 4 meter hoog). Een uitgestrekte zandlaag vormt de werkvloer om het nieuwe beest uit te proberen. Zeven andere forse strandbeesten bewegen zich, aan de hand van een bezoeker, voort op de begane grond.
Als in een laboratorium experimenteert Jansen met electriciteisbuis, tape, tie-raps en patflessen. Al twintig jaar toetst Jansen de vernuftige proefjes om tot de techniek te komen waarmee ooit zijn kudde, misschien wel geheel zelfstandig, de duinen kan onderhouden. Een droom die hem drijft om door te zoeken naar nieuwe technieken en ontwikkelingen.
In de tentoonstelling "Generator Strandbeest", op de eerste verdieping van de fabriek, wordt een historisch overzicht getoond van de evolutie en het maakproces van de dieren aan de hand van een paleontologisch veld met fossielen. Film, foto’s en video materiaal lichten de ontstaansgeschiedenis toe. Openingstijden van de tentoonstelling zijn van vrijdag t/m zondag van 14:00 tot 22:00 uur. Dagelijks wordt er om 20:00 uur een rondleiding gegeven door Theo Jansen zelf.
Begin mei wordt de kudde, dan een dier rijker, uitgeleid naar zee waarna de dieren weer wind kunnen vangen en uitgelaten langs de kustlijn kunnen paraderen.
It did not stand there alone, I just take pic the nearest against the blue sky to note the chill feeling I had. There are a lot of wind turbines in China, they did not work not because of the technology nor policy but the low price of oil and weather sometime.
All large steam turbine-driven generators in power plants operate in an enclosure, or casing, that is pressurized at 20 to 80 PSIG with pure Hydrogen. Why??
Hydrogen gas has the highest thermal conductivity and heat removal capacity of any known gas. Hydrogen also has the lowest density and therfore has the lowest "windage" losses (the rotating parts turn with the least friction). It's a supurb coolant for the purpose. Fans that turn with the shaft circulate the hydrogen throughout the generator. Typically the heated hydrogen is cooled by water "radiators" that are in the circulation path.
As an additional benefit, hydrogen gas minimizes "corona" discharge (which degrades the insulation) that can surround high-voltage windings in air.
Since the hydrogen used is 99% pure, there it no risk of internal fire or explosion, unless the gas becomes contaminated with air.
Hydrogen cooling permits the manufacturer to increase the energy density (kilowatts per cubic foot) over that of air-cooled generators, as well as increase efficiency. Modern hydrogen-cooled generators are the most efficient man-made machines on the planet, converting 99% or more of the mechanical horsepower into kilowatts.
The generator's shaft must pass out of the pressurized casing to couple to the steam turbine (or other Prime Mover). Close-fitting liquid oil fed rings around the shaft provide a zero-leakage seal for the shaft penetration through the casing.
Even higher energy densities (more kilowatts per cubic foot) can be produced if the stationary windings are additionally liquid-cooled. Hydrogen is STILL used as a cooling gas in liquid-cooled machines. This photo shows a hydrogen-cooled machine (no liquid cooling).

Probably not long for this world... as everything in this room seems to be getting scrapped. The copper coils of a similar-looking machine nearby had already been sawed off.
