Stationary steampunk

That is quite a wow and the comment that it has no protection as an "historic landmark" rather worrying.

NHH

Ten years ago I'd have worried too Nick, but I think it must be pretty safe now, the heritage industry being what it is these days.

What surprised me is that it is all still plumbed in - that being the case, I suppose it will still generate too - could be useful in the future.....

OK, that's now given me a reason to visit NY... :-)

I'm a sucker for big generating plant!

Where are you in the US, Jules?

Bemidji, northern Minnesota - I can almost sneeze on Canadians from here ;-)

It's all trees and lakes (over 13 thousand of them) around here (lots of old logging heritage). For a sense of scale, the state is about the same size as England, but with only 5 million people (and 3.5 million of those are way down south around Minneapolis).

For the 'vintage technology' angle there's the annual steam fair down in Rollag - I've still not managed to get down to it since moving over here, but I gather it's comparable in size to the big UK shows
