Default OT; some Steamy pics for Doug...

Some places are replacing their steam engines with turbines. I've
delivered a few, then my buddy gets the old engines for next to
nothing ( save the time / cost of removal ).

Nice genset Scotty.

The Battle Ship Texas is full of Simplex Genset, pumps, ect.

Most are
turbin driven like such:

If you like steam engines and such the battleship Texas is a

great ship
to visit. Thing I like is they let you explore on your own.
