Anyways here is one of their new thunderbeams


upclose


A few feet from the thunderbeam is the abandoned Darley Model 5




Last but not least here is another Thunderbeam in Lipan TX that has a familiar set up to Stephenvilles.


Thunderbeam by the HS in Stephenville.

ill be making a few more trips down there in the coming months so i can get a few more pics
of Stephenvilles new and old system.

P50 in the cemetery.

I wonder why the Darley has its controls on another pole...interesting

I noticed that too.....

That area is littered with Thunderbeams from Comanche Peak's old 10 Mile EPZ siren system, which likely explains the double siren setup. AFAIK, the nuke sirens are also controlled locally for weather. I guess the new system is 2001's.

I wondered what happened to Comanche county's old Thunderbeams. I remember driving thru the area years back and seeing them popping up more and more as you got closer to the old nuclear plant. Glad to hear they weren't scrapped!

sorry to bump my own topic but i added a few pictures of stephenville's P50
in the cemetery if anyone was interested.
it sure looked worn out in person and huge!

Looks like only 1/2 In. conduit going up to that pull box on the P-50. Must be on 480 volts if they wired it with that small gauge wire.
