great pics and a great write up, that even I can read and understand; I like the way telling the story with the pictures.
to be honest, I have not been in that place that far before, so,
we have done that site together
and it was big fun and I enjoyed it much.
main thing for me is, that you made an extra 500 miles to give me a visit without expecting a big explore
thanks peoples,
was me an honour

"with hindsight it should have been obvious that Bigjobs would attach a nine inch black rubber dildo to it.. "

- This is my new favourite quote on 28.

Nice report too :)

Yeah this is all a bit ridiculous like you said.

'Shame we don't have anything that epic over here', etc....

..the real question ... why did Big Jobs have a "9" black rubber dildo" in his possession?:eek: surely, that's not standard UE kit? or do I want to know??:p:

Mucho lolz were had, mucho beer was drank, mucho steelworks & powerstations were walked around and slept on. A++ would explore again.

My pics are still on the camera I'm afraid :s

"Jobs, no jizzing on the children". That's my favourite line said to me now. With "Jobs, you are not shitting in that bin" coming a close 2nd.

Epic! What a great plant. The steam engines are amazing considering that is certainly modern lube gear (70s/80s?) on very old engines. The Babcock builders plate on what I assume is a boiler is a strange site in East Germany as well. There looks to be nothing less than first class stuff too see for as long as you explore, a real wonderland.

The steam engines didn't just have the modern lubrication system, they had electronic control panels too. It seemed like they had been used up until the site closed. I meant to try to find their age, but I'd forgotten until now..
That power house had a lot of Babcock stuff in it actually, more strange because the rest of the kit was MAN, which being an abbreviation of Maschinenfabrik Augsburg-Nürnberg is definitely German..
The whole place was quite a mix though, there was kit from Siemens, GE, ABB and more. And yes, it really was a wonderland if you're into the industrial stuff.
