Heavy Harry At North Melbourne: Fat Bastard (TW: Fatphobia, Misgendering, Coarse Language)
This next story was actually a conglomerate of a bunch of IRL incidences to do with VR H220; it really did push a VR D3 pilot once he got started up (they really aren't small locos), it really did keep falling off the track at North Melbourne Locomotive Depot...
And the VR Commission really did insist in newspapers in the public calling it "Healthy Hilda" and "Hungry Harriet" in spite of the public knowing the loco as 'Heavy Harry', because they thought all locomotives were intrinsically feminine and had to be that way.
And to make fun of its' weight and coal consumption.
(It kind of hits particularly hard that the VR chose a feminine name for the loco specifically to mock its weight and coal consumption...)
Lord knows why it was that important to the VR that a loco had a name of its choosing and to seemingly make their brand spanking new passenger locomotive ripe for ridicule...
(The Victorian public gravitated to "Heavy Harry" in a kind of proto-"Boaty McBoatface" thing a newspaper did, reporting that the loco was called that by workers during the construction phase after a particularly hefty Newport Workshop builder, sometime around late 1940 and it took off spectacularly...
H220 is still "Heavy Harry" today, still very often referred to by male pronouns in railway literature, common parlance and newspapers.
Whether as "Hilda" is very rarely used outside of gunzel circles).
And it would have probably given rise to the kind of gross and immature schoolyard namecalling in the story had locos-with-faces existed.
Heavy Harry At North Melbourne: Fat Bastard
The biggest locomotive in the Victorian Railways (indeed the whole of Australia), VR H-class Pocono H220 “Heavy Harry” was normally shedded at his home Works at Newport and at Seymour when he needed his third cylinder looked at or a train to pull from there; but a lot of the time, his duties had him being shedded at the Big Smoke, otherwise known as the North Melbourne Locomotive Depot, also known as Norf Yards. He hated being at Norf.
Not only was it musty, filthy, cramped, difficult to maneuver about and full of North Melbourne Kangaroos-supporting locos that gave him shit on the regular (like the majority of Australians, he was football mad. He was Essendon Football Club to the frames and those two Clubs despised one another), he kept falling off the track in the yard. It was too light for his enormous self and was not kept up well.
The fact it seemed to happen every week, and there, of all places, was a source of embarrassment, and the other locos would make it about his heft and weight.
To pile on the mortification, the VR Commission decided publicly in the newspapers that he was supposed to be called “Healthy Hilda” and “Hungry Harriet” rather than “Heavy Harry”; due to his supposed excess coal consumption and the supposed fact that all engines were supposed to be feminine, and to further make fun of his weight.
And insisted on this over and over again.
This went over well in the Yard…
Great.
Give me a girl's name and then set me up to make fun of me for it…
Why?
My name is my name!
And this, “Hungry Harriet”?
I can’t help eating the amount of coal that I need to run…
I can’t help being 260 tonnes.
They made me this way.
They literally made me this way.
Why do I have to be here?
I would prefer to be in a tin shed at Ararat or Moe or bloody Sleepy Hollow (Geelong) than this shit heap…
“Buck up, Harry!” his liege, VR A2 No 986 “Pluto” would say, rather unsympathetically, “Stop complaining and just sledge the arseholes back!”
“Who broke all the tracks?
Who broke all the tracks?
That fat bastard,
That fat bastard,
He broke all the tracks!”
He continued going about his duties none the less, with returned sledging every bit as venomous as the one he copped. He had no choice but to endure it until he could next go to Seymour or Newport, or anywhere but Norf.
One particular day was extremely annoying and brought on a particularly venomous mood. He’d fallen off the track and a crane was pulling him back to the rails. A smart alecky VR D3 named Albert chuffed past the carnage while he was shunting coaches and trucks in the yard and thought it would be funny to sledge Harry while he was down.
“GET BACK ON HILDA, YOU FAT FUCK!” he yelled.
“GET OUT OF IT, YOU LITTLE SHIT!’
YOUR DEPOT IS SHIT AND YOUR TRACK IS SHIT!
YOU’RE SHIT... AND YOU KNOW YOU ARE!” barked Harry, not in the mood for it.
“RUBBISH!
YOU’RE TOO FAT!
YOU NEED EXERCISE!” rejoined Albert, smugly.
Albert got some applause from the other locos and felt pleased with himself, knowing Harry could not do anything. Harry brooded as he was reset on the track and inspected all over for damage.
Those arsehole Norf locos really sang that ‘Mother Brown’ based ditty with gusto after that particular derailing…
“Who broke all the tracks?
Who broke all the tracks?
That fat bastard,
That fat bastard,
He broke all the tracks!”
He brooded in his berth after he returned from the Border run, burning with particular spite.
Often, because he was so huge, he was a bit slow to start moving, so a pilot would be required.
(Cue in more abuse…)
Some time later, Albert piloted him all the way up to Seymour, and he was feeling extremely smug about it. He decided unwisely to rub yet more salt into Harry’s bruised ego.
“What’s the matter, Hungry Harriet? Too fat to pick up speed?”, he chuckled.
Harry was very, very angry at him from the earlier incident and had gotten a good fire raging about half of the way to Seymour; it was then he really got going. He pushed all three of his cylinders into the effort of bumping hard into the tender of the D3 and just keep pushing...
The relatively smaller engine on the front realized this and started to get scared. He was not a small engine, being about comparable to a British Black Five in size, but Harry was still just pushing him along picking up speed and power. Then as he vaulted forward on Harry’s momentum, he realized he had no control whatsoever. Albert squealed as Harry surged and began crying, “Stop! Stop!”.
“Oh, but I can’t! I’m too much of a fat fuck to stop! Once a fat fuck gets going, you know they can’t stop!” mocked Harry as he pushed the engine forward. His three-part exhaust beat sounded hideous, like the triple barking of Cerberus the hellhound. He looked feral, he looked angry glowering over the D3s cab. The driver could see his snarling visage, the D3 could only imagine it.
As his speed increased, Albert shook in terror wondering if Harry was going to climb right over and crush him. Just to add to the fear, Harry would make as if he would, surging and then receding.
‘Ohhhhh thank you for recommending exercise! I’m really feeling the burn right about now! Ha ha ha! ‘Burn’, get it?” he taunted as he continued to push Albert up the line. He made a particularly hard shove after this.
Oh help! I’m about to be murdered by a pun-spouting bastard!
This continued down the line, Harry pushing and Albert trying not to get climbed over. Harry kept tittering and making jokes. Albert tried to keep pace in order to not get crushed by the 260 tonne monster and his 800 tonne consist behind him.
Thankfully Seymour was getting close by, Harry slowed on the approach and they decoupled. He raced ahead and scooted off into a siding, while Harry continued to thunder down the line on to Albury.
Harry rudely blew-down boiler piss at him from his blowdown cylinder cocks in a final insulting gesture as he passed Albert in his siding and picked up speed as he continued his run. Albert quivered in his siding wreathed in Harry’s foul boiler spray and waited for him to disappear and for the earth to stop moving.
As soon as the earth gradually grew still, Albert’s driver and fireman climbed out of the cab. Fireman walked around to see if there was any damage, and Driver went to the front to speak to him.
“Are you OK, lad?”, said he, pulling out a cigarette.
“Driver, why did you let him push me…”, he whimpered.
The D3’s driver glared at him.
“Do you know about the principle of inertia, boy?”
The blank look on his grey face betrayed his ignorance.
“To put it simply, the bigger something is, the harder it is to stop once it gets moving. You understand?”
Albert blinked as if to signal his comprehension of this concept.
“You goaded Harry when he was on the ground at the Depot and that got him good and mad enough to have a big stock of angry inertia along with his big self… and when you taunted him some more on the way up, he really got going and he would have been impossible to stop!’
‘If I had thrown the brake to try and stop, not only would have not stopped at all, Harry would have climbed over us… killing me and Fireman and you, and then tipping over himself, possibly killing his own crew and throwing the consist behind him everywhere…’
“Try explaining this to the Thin Commissioner!”
“This is why when someone is angry at you over something you fully know you did, you silly great engine… and you are in no place to argue with them about it, you let them get on with it and then find a graceful exit… you don’t argue, you don’t act stubborn, you don’t goad them further… you find an exit and get the fuck out of the way…”
“But he pushed me…”, the shaken engine burbled.
'Didn't you hear a word I said?!’
“Once all that bullshit started, there is not a force on earth that would have got him to stop! You shouldn’t have been so eager to please your mates by picking on the giant fucking Newport bastard! And then when the time came to pilot him, you shouldn’t have picked on him further… that all could have been very, very fucking bad!”
Albert sat on the siding, contemplating all this; a sadder and wiser engine, while Driver had a smoke.
Harry was still angry as he stormed up the North Eastern line; his figurative blood was up, burning up the track to the Border. Making the earth shake felt so good; it reminded everyone that he was Heavy Harry, and no other name; the ultimate Fat Bastard himself, and to get the fuck out of his way.
Humans clung to lamp posts, buildings shook and the ballast trembled as he ran full tilt down the line.
You little smart arse… Fuck You. I hope you dream of getting crushed by me for the remainder of your days.
I hope you dream of the Devil and wake in fright…
The locomotives at Norf heard about it and were terrified beyond imagining and said not a word about it.
But a voice started up the usual chant...
“Who broke all the tracks?
Who broke all the tracks?
That fat bastard,
THAT FAT BASTARD,
I BROKE ALL THE TRACKS!”
No one joined in.

Safe and Efficient Roof Plumbing in Melbourne for Buildings After Asbestos Removal
Many older buildings still have asbestos roofs since asbestos roofing was quite common prior to its prohibition and can get exposed during such buildings’ roof plumbing in Melbourne. Asbestos removal is typically handled by professionals who have the required tools and knowledge. Before it was found that inhaling asbestos particles might cause major health problems including asbestosis, mesothelioma, and lung cancer, asbestos was widely utilised in building and construction materials in Australia. Experts are required to properly remove asbestos from older buildings, if it is still present in some of them as in Australia, asbestos usage has been prohibited since 2003.
People require the assistance of asbestos removalists because they are qualified to safely dispose of asbestos and execute it before old garage shed removal in Doncaster. The need for asbestos testing stems from the potential for asbestos to be present in any structure being repaired or destroyed that was constructed prior to asbestos becoming banned. Asbestos removal service providers may conduct laboratory tests to identify the kind of asbestos present in the building and to verify its presence. For the safe removal and disposal of asbestos-containing materials, hiring licensed asbestos removalists is crucial.
Understanding the Role of Professional Asbestos Removalists
Safety Measures: To guarantee the secure removal and disposal of asbestos-containing objects, certified asbestos removalists adhere to stringent safety regulations and procedures. To reduce the chance of asbestos exposure, they wear protective clothing and utilise specialised equipment.
Proper Elimination: Products containing asbestos should be disposed of safely and sustainably by qualified asbestos removal specialists. They adhere to stringent regulations regarding the packing, labelling, and transportation of asbestos trash to authorised disposal sites. A copy of the environmental waste consignment note, which contains instructions on how to transport and properly dispose of asbestos, is also provided to customers by asbestos removalists.
Legal Requirements: Government rules control asbestos removal, and licensed asbestos removalists abide by all relevant laws pertaining to asbestos removal and disposal.
Indeed, asbestos testing and surveying must be finished before repairing an older home. Have your property analysed by a licensed asbestos testing firm if you have any reason to believe it contains asbestos.

FLINDERS STREET STATION from SWANSTON STREET, on the Northern approach to the single-arch Princes Bridge, looking West past the Southern wall of the old Fish Market, 1874. A photo taken by Charles Bayliss for the Holtermann Collection, State Library of NSW. At that time, Flinders Street Station was a scrappy collection of sheds, brick and corrugated iron construction, with no single building to unify them - that would come in 1910. There was no rail viaduct between Flinders Street and Spencer Street in 1874, so the sole line exiting distantly to the West is the original line, curving left (South) in the distance, leading to Port Melbourne.

How Metal Recycling Supports Green Building Initiatives?
In a world buzzing with eco-consciousness, the role of metal recycling shines bright like a newly polished aluminium can. It's not just about saving the planet; it's about forging a sustainable future, one scrap at a time.
Join us on this journey through the scrapyards and construction sites where Scrap Metal in Melbourne becomes the unsung hero of green building initiatives.
The Heart of Green Construction: Metal Recycling Melbourne
Imagine a skyscraper rising from the rubble of its predecessors, its steel beams not freshly mined but reborn from discarded scrap.
This is the essence of metal recycling in green buildings. By reusing metals like steel and aluminium, we slash energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. It's recycling with a purpose—to build stronger, smarter, and greener buildings.
Beyond Waste: Redefining Sustainability
Every ton of recycled steel saves about 2,500 pounds of iron ore, 1,400 pounds of coal, and 120 pounds of limestone.
These staggering figures aren't just statistics; they're a testament to the power of metal recycling in Melbourne.
Metal recycling is about conserving resources for future generations and reducing the environmental footprint of construction projects worldwide.
From Scrapyard to Skyscraper: The Lifecycle of Recycled Metals
The journey begins when Scrap Metal Melbourne arrives at recycling facilities. Here, it undergoes meticulous sorting and processing, sheds impurities, and prepares for rebirth.
Once transformed into high-quality recycled metal, it finds new life in construction, seamlessly integrating into beams, supports, and facades of sustainable buildings.
Economics Meets Ecology: The Benefits of Choosing Recycled Metals
Choosing recycled metals isn't just an environmental win; it's a savvy economic decision. Recycled steel is often cheaper and more readily available than its virgin counterpart, offering cost savings without compromising quality.
For builders and developers, it's a double-edged sword of profitability and sustainability—a win-win scenario in today's competitive market.
Building Tomorrow, Today: Embracing a Sustainable Future
As we gaze upon the skyline of tomorrow, let's envision buildings that stand tall not only in height but in their commitment to sustainability.
Thanks to metal recycling in Melbourne, this vision is within reach. By prioritising recycled metals, we pave the way for a greener, cleaner construction industry where innovation meets responsibility head-on.
Join the Movement: Your Role in Metal Recycling
Every aluminium can be tossed into the recycling bin, and every steel beam salvaged from demolition contributes to the greater cause.
Whether you're a homeowner, builder, or environmental advocate, your choices matter. Embrace metal recyclingas a cornerstone of your green building strategy and inspire others to follow suit.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Metal Recycling in Melbourne isn't just a process; it's a catalyst for change. It transforms waste into opportunity, breathing new life into our cities while preserving precious resources for future generations.
So, let's raise our recycled steel mugs to a future where sustainability isn't an option but a standard.
Together, we build greener, one recycled metal beam at a time. Remember, the power lies in our choices.
Choose metal recycling in Melbourne today, and let's build a brighter, more sustainable tomorrow.

Building the Future: Overcoming Obstacles in the Concrete Supply Chain
Concrete supply must be set precisely, just like a souffle must rise to the ideal consistency. Since it expands and contracts due to temperature changes and moisture, even a small fracture may soon grow into a large one. You can be sure that the job will be of the greatest calibre because these businesses are held to a higher standard than unregistered ones; if it isn't, you can bring the issue up with the organisation.
Preventing Damage to Your Pavement
The defence that concrete delivery in Melbourne offers your concrete surfaces against different kinds of damage is one of the biggest advantages of concrete sealing. Essentially, you're investing in your property's lifespan and durability when you engage in concrete sealing. Let's examine some of the ways that concrete sealing may aid in preventing damage to your concrete surfaces.
First off, sealing concrete helps stop fractures from developing. For example, cracks in a concrete driveway are not only ugly, but if they are not fixed, they may cause further structural problems. By using a sidewalk sealer, you can keep your surfaces appearing flawless and structurally strong by erecting a barrier that lessens the chance of cracks developing.
The Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne and the Benefits of Concrete
Whether you're building a new home, modifying an existing one, or revitalising an investment property, you can depend on our commitment to quality, prompt and efficient service, and high-quality craftsmanship for all of your concreting requirements. They are skilled in all facets of concrete work, including the installation of shed slabs, pool surrounds, garden walks, road design and construction, and slab and footing laying.
They provide a range of concrete alternatives, all manufactured with the best material available and featuring a high-quality finish at an affordable price. These possibilities include coloured building materials, uncovered concrete, pave cut building materials and plain and shiny concrete.

Garage Shed Removal in Doncaster: What You Should Know Before Employing Professional
Junk removal firms are equipped with the right garage shed removal in Doncaster, heavy, or huge items—things that might be challenging to remove on your own. They also have enough workers to finish the task swiftly, conserving your time and energy. Rather than making several trips to and from the landfill or donation centres, they may frequently remove stuff in a single visit.
