Turbines 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 now up and spinning

I've put a single token new panel on for verifying the proof of concept of how we get them up there, reverse way to how I got the old ones down. Haul onto a wheele bin, then step them up on an edge rung by rung on a ladder until they can be cantilevered over the edge of the rear of the car port. The...
