Steam Engines

Three steam reciprocating engines in the Leith Harbour power station with the electrical ends removed. Behind the engines we can see the main electrical switch board. The generators had a high copper content and had been removed by the "scrap men" in 1982. They are still lying in the street outside.

Another steam engine with the generator removed. On the right of the picture are the engineer's lockers and just to the left of the engine, the ladder up to the electrical stores loft.
