No doubt hot and noisy.
Well that describes a number of us, doesn't it? :D
Anyone else see "robots" in this one?
Hmm. May be time to up my meds =[
You're right, Tam. There be robots here!
And dirty and grimy----
it could have been used to power the steam engine
Neat pic very cool.
judging by the hoppers it looks like they could be chain grate boilers, the coal was placed on the chain grate and the grate moved from the front to the back of the boilers. just a guess would need more pics
