Steam or hydraulic?

If it's where I think it is, it's somewhere I've not been but really want to go and people keep saying I should! that has a long long walk in through a semi flooded tunnel (drain) which is why the scrap man couldn't take it and it's to pump water. Site is in excellent condition so the name/details discreet

Sounds like my sort of expedition - seems the people who built this also made ram pumps.

Open plan seating in 2011 - Northampton & Lamport Railway

51359 was latterly used in the London area by Network SouthEast as part of 2-car set L703. The vehicle was then used as a source of spare parts and as a training vehicle for the fire brigade, with several components being stripped or damaged during this time. Preserved in 1999, the vehicle was always intended to be a source of spare parts, and provided components for the restoration of Class 122 vehicles 55001 & 55003 and Class 117 DMS 51400. Scrapped at Booth's, Rotherham 2012

Wrestling Dinorwig's "Snake"
Note that in this case he'd left his walking boots at home and these are his office shoes because he was still wearing them on the drive up. Sub optimal for climbing damp slate. silly boy!!!

Ray Parker Jnr wouldn't be afraid

Did I post this before?? (don't think I did)

I don't get out much (come on people! that at least deserve a sympathetic "aaaahhhhh") Not sure if this makes me feel happy or sad that I'm not there right now.

One of the things i miss is the peace, well when you have screaming tinnitus like i do its never quiet, but you get the idea

Normally those super bright torches "1 trillion lumens" turn out to be Chinese lumens and a disappointment (and/or fire hazard ) but from the pic that looks like a real bat-cooker!

Real deal mate, but as you say they are a fire hazard due to the heat they give off. That’s only level 2 out of 7 so you can imagine.
