There’s no place for me to go back
My wings have been taken away
Even if I lost eternal life, the reason why I’m happy
Is because my forever is now you..

OLD TOWN PUB consists of three different buildings inspired by Prague architecture.
In the budilding on the right there are Dio Pub on the ground floor and museum of old town on the first floor. In the same building there also is a cashpoint which really works.The museum is connected to the look-out tower (by staircase) which overshadows other buildings. The tenement house on the left is abandoned.
The side walls are easy to disconnect as well as the backside of the tower. This modular can be easily connected to official LEGO modulars by connecting it from three different sides - the connectors are on the side walls of the modular and on the rear wall, too.

The Heaton substation - long downgraded from 3-phase.
The "neutral" on the incoming 41.6kV line likely was originally the third phase into the substation. Otter Tail Power's original construction standard called for two phases on the top arm and the third phase on a short arm below. After WWII, they changed to the much more common (and easier to build) delta arrangement.
That big transformer is still there!
I think a "few" years have passed since I was there last. Secondary running into the quarry is most likely going to be 480V (I thought the primary was 12.5kV, but it is actually 4160V).
Even though there's no way to get a better side view without walking into cropland, I thought this picture came out 'just so'.
2024 update: Otter Tail rebuilt this section of its system, and a large steel-framed sub now sits on the same spot. Otter Tail's iconic in-line subs are a dying breed.
A now-idle rural substation that serves a farm north of Glenburn. When it was in use, the fuseholders were arranged so the transformer can be energized from either side of the switch, should the company need to open the 41.6kV loop here.
However, this substation has been disabled by removing the wire between the fuse holders and the transformer. I've noticed the company has been tracking down and replacing their remaining substation transformers with a 24kV primary winding (these would be connected between one line conductor and earth ground, as it is here). I assume they want to install a new transformer with a 41.6kV primary (and add two more fuse holders here for a line to line connection) but won't proceed unless someone purchases the farm it serves. I also assume that removing the otherwise idled transformer outright is tantamount to abandoning the service here.
The smoke from the Canadian wildfires was bad that morning (and a month later, my sinuses still hate me for it).
An interesting transformer bank with two possibly 'homemade' fused cutouts on opposite ends of the middle crossarm.
The left one is an early style (likely late 1920s vintage based on the insulators on the bracket) and seems to be adapted to accept a 'spring link' style fuse. The one on the right is an unusual porcelain style that has likewise been adapted to use a 'spring link' style fuse.
Fused cutouts are high-voltage fuses adapted for use on power lines and are commonly used to protect transformers or branch lines. At this voltage level, it is important to separate the ends of the blown fuse before an arc forms across the gap (and which results in equipment damage if not addressed quickly). Spring-link cutouts like these keep the fuse link under tension, immediately pulling the ends apart when the fuse blows. They are also arranged so a lineman can replace the fuse from a distance by using an insulated pole.
Modern cutouts use a 'dropout' mechanism where the link is enclosed in a rigid tube, but part of the assembly is still spring-loaded. When the fuse blows, an arc briefly forms and causes one end of the blown fuse to be ejected from the tube (this is the loud BANG many people hear when one lets go). Once the fuse separates, the spring relaxes, causing the tube to swing downward and showing the lineman that the fuse needs replacement. The tube can then be retrieved, a new fuse link fitted, then reinstalled in the cutout to restore power.
One of my all-time best 35mm pictures... my ONLY regret is that I took it in portrait mode instead of landscape mode. I love how those blue Jeffrey-Dewitt suspensions stand out against this sky!
The literal end of the last incarnation of the Fairmount, ND - Tenney, MN line. The first line through the area was a 13.2kV transmission line built around 1914 from Fairmount, ND to serve Tenney, Campbell, and Doran. By the 1950s, the company was operating this line as a long-distance 12.47kV distribution circuit. Sometime after that, most of the line was rebuilt to 41.6kV and substations installed near Campbell and at Doran.
This segment was severely damaged in the Thanksgiving 2005 ice storm and the company decided that the line from Campbell to Tenney was goot 'nuff to serve the elevator (and other remnants of this small town), so this pole stood alone for a while before it eventually came down.
this is defintely the nerdiest thing I have ever stitched. EVER.
R2 is getting better looking every time I stitch him. and I'm really kind of proud of how the dalek bumps turned out.
