  1. The amazingly well preserved Wanlockhead Beam Engine in Wanlockhead, Dumfries & Galloway, Scotland's highest village. It was built here in the 1870s to help drain a lead mine that had by then been in operation for two centuries. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/wan

  3. Another random photo from my Flickr albums. This one is my model beam engine, constructed from a kit so I didn't have to do any machining, but the polishing and painting is all my own work. To give a sense of scale, the floor tiles are 25 mm squares. As Mastodon doesn't show a preview for Flickr pictures I've attached a small image directly. Click on the link to see a larger version.
