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.
For my 40th anniversary for Empire Strikes Back, I wanted to build one of my favorite scenes from the movie. This really started out with the AT-ATs. I wanted to build an AT-AT that scales with the models I have building as of late. But when I was thinking about taking pictures, I thought it would be way cooler if I built the scene these things inhabit. Thus, the Battle of Hoth was born. Everything is roughly at the 250 scale. The instructions for the AT-AT are free and you can view or download them at the link below.

DETAILS FOR THIS VEHICLE.
Location : Carlisle Kingmoor Yard.
Date : 06/04/2012.
Type : 24 ton Diesel Generator Van.
Number : 210306
TOPS Code : VXA.
Builder : 1977-78 by British Rail Engineering Ltd, Shildon Works.
Lot no. : 3908.
ADDITIONAL NOTES.
This former 'Vanfit' goods van (TOPS Code VDA) is one of two vehicles converted to mobile generator vans for the railway civil engineers department. This specific one was converted for use in the Skako ballast distribution train and powers lighting, hoppers doors and conveyors under the adjacent wagons. It used to carry CCE yellow livery when operated by the Southern Region DCE and carried Network South East branding. After rail privatisation the complete train was sold to EWS and has subsequently passed to DB Schenker ownership.
Up on a farm in the northeast of England is this inline-6-cylinder Diesel “Simms” engine which originally came from a circa 1950s/1960s Thames Trader lorry (built by Ford Of England). The engine (still wearing its original paint), complete with radiator has been attached to steel frame rails, and is combined with an auxiliary generator device, including a retrofit control panel off a more modern industrial unit. This device is still in very sound running condition and is used as an external on-site agricultural power generator on this farm.
It is fascinating to find 60+ year-old machines such as this engine still working in this day-and-age. No doubt this piece will continue to earn its keep for several years still to come.

Generator or Monster-Star-Motor? ;-) I liked the big round of the old and textured coils of this old but fully functional generator of a water turbine.

Oh yeah, oh yeah
Like the blood on my door
Wash me clean and I will run
Until I reach the shore
I've known it all along
Like the bone under my skin
Like actor's in a photograph
Like paper in the wind
There's a hammer by the window
There's a knife on the floor
Like turbines in darkness
Like the blood on my door
It's the generator
Before using halogen bicycle lights, and today an LED light, I used this generator light set. No batteries to replace or charge, but the lights are lit only when you were moving.

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.

Day 80
We are off grid. This is the generator. It replaced two smaller generators that were dying a quick death. We carried it on a trailer from the UK to France. It was a very slow trip. When we got it here we couldn't get it up the hill due to the drive being very wet and muddy. Phil asked around about getting a tractor to get the trailer up the hill. The local mayor said he could do it and would be around in a few days. The mayor came about a week later a day before we had to leave. He said he'd come back first thing the next day when the ground was cold. We were so happy when he came and brought it up the drive. I could have kissed him!! He helped us roll it into place in the garage.
We took one of the old generators back to the UK. On the way (still in France) we suddenly heard a horrible screaching noise! Phil stopped and found the generator had fallen through the floor boards of the trailer. We struggeled to lift it but to no avail. Fortunately, this happened in front of a garage. Phil offered them the generator if they could help us get it out. They had a jack and lifted the trailer to get it out.
Lots more happened on that trip that I will never forget. The one thing I got from it was how nice the French really are and we were grateful!
