And a lovely flange.

Wragg's pipeworks used clayholes to provide the fireclay needed to make sewage pipes.

When replacing old working pipework with new it's often necessary to construct a temporary bypass to isolate the section to be worked on. The big blue pipe is such a bypass. This is part of the tramworks near Haymarket station. The planners of the Edinburgh tramworks project very sensibly decided that while they were diverting important services and accesses from under the proposed tram line foundations it would be a good idea to upgrade anything needing it while they were at it. But why did they cost the tramline laying on the basis of having already done all the utilities upgrading and diversions first, yet started the tram foundation works before the utilities work had been finished -- and in many cases even begun?

But not to worry, because the Edinburgh Festival is now upon us, and it looks like congratulations all round for this heroic record-breaking effort of having far more of Edinburgh's city centre roads torn up during the height of the summer tourist season than ever before. That should really hammer home the message that wheeled transport is not welcome in this city.

Foundation and pipework on Cougar Mountain. Up to 3,000 people lived in the mining towns and camps at their peak, but again, those structures have succumbed to either development or the elements. Only durable industrial remains are still intact.

Vessels and pipework. Remodelled c. 1881 in redbrick Gothic revival style by architect William Bradford, Harveys Bridge Wharf Brewery was given Grade II* listing by English Heritage in 1985. A classic ‘tower brewery’, it is locally and colloquially known as “Lewes Cathedral”.

It is essential to fit the fuel and brake pipes before the engine is finally installed. However, after the first engine trial fit I discovered I will have to move the front end positions as they foul the bellhousing.

I also discovered there is an additional 50mm of potential extra footwell width to be had for the driver.

So three steps forward & one back - I intend to cut and widen the footwell to improve pedal access for the driver ( I have wide size 10 feet!)

Edit (18/09/2008)

Note: I have since moved the off side fuel line across to the near side to bring it out in a better location around the engine.
