The North Somerset Electric Light & Power Company Ltd.

Post by steamyjim » Wed Jul 02, 2014 11:50 am

Been mocking up a building for the indoor section of my line...

This is the generating plant of 'The North Somerset Electric Light & Power Company Ltd.' and will contain a Stuart Turner 504 boiler driving a couple of large stationary steam engines in turn running stepper motor generators...the plan is to illuminate all the buildings on the line with the generating plant!
