Old industrial buildings in the U.S. generally are better looking than modern ones but it doesn’t matter much because they are mostly gone and those that remain are gutted. This sewage pumping station is magnificent. The fact that it did not get bombed, V-1’d, V-2’d or just demolished is equally magnificent.
There is something magical about these amazing machines. But more so, to think they were built by candlelight and by hand, and all the engineering and math was done by hand on paper! The weight must be amazing!
@@teescottageguyproductions imagine, justing sitting there, no public, cloth cap on head, eating cheese butties and swigging Yorkshire tea, as close to bliss as you possibly get unless of course Fred Dibnah was with you.
@teescottageguyproductions that is wonderful, and as much as I love steam locomotives my favourites being Gresley or Ivatt GN locos, a stationary engine is poetry in motion. It's gracefully slow and delightfully elegant and demands an chipped well worn enamel mug full of only the finest quality Yorkshire tea.
It’s also dedicated preservationists and engineers who spend hours caring for these engines. Hopefully they’ll still be running for many more generations to come
Its fantastic to see the see the preservation of industrial archaeology. Once this technology is destroyed we have but nothing, drawings and the printed word left to create in our minds what once was. Awesome 😘
Thanks for posting! Beautiful Victorian machinery! How much of the rubbish we build today be running in 150 years time. Check out INTERNAL FIRE MUSEUM, West Wales. You’ll love it. Phil, who runs it specialises in old diesel engines. Some are HUGE. 👍
@@teescottageguyproductions good on you! I’m sure you’ll thoroughly enjoy it. If you have time, let me know what you think. Phil, I’m sure he’s still there, heard about a twin cylinder diesel on farm land in Norfolk. He phoned farmer who said he'd never heard of it. They arranged a meet at the farm. The farmer asked where the engine was. Phill took him to a point on the land covered in brambles. They cleared the area and found a dilapidated shed! Phil found the partly dismantled engine inside. Found all the bits apart from a bearing cap. (I think that was the part) Phil got out his metal detector, and eventually found the cap. Engine now in building at Phil's place, fully restored and running! Enjoy. All the best, David.
@@davidaustin2172 Wow that is incredible!! I'll definitely be filming a video of the visit so make sure to keep you eye out for that! It's in early July I'm going (possibly on the 12th) but I'm not 100% sure.
@@teescottageguyproductions i can imagine Yea sure i maybe the head of engine cleaning or i get to look after 85 But its not operating enormous steam engines
