Class 50 - Large Logo w/grey roof - 50046 'Ajax'The mighty Ajax, the son of Telamon, second only to Achilles in the Greek warrior hierarchy, equal of Trojan champion Hector and also the most famous Class 50 that got away, being scrapped at MC Metals, Glasgow, in June 1992.

The mighty Ajax, the son of Telamon, second only to Achilles in the Greek warrior hierarchy, equal of Trojan champion Hector and also the most famous Class 50 that ‘got away’, being scrapped at MC Metals, Glasgow, in June 1992. It had donated its low hours power unit to 50007 in December 1991, around five weeks after working its last train, after Sir Edward Elgar had been sidelined with a main generator flashover near Basingstoke in July of the same year. Rewinding to happier days, Laira-based 50046 had been dedicated in October 1978 after the Leander-class Frigate built in 1962. It was invited to Doncaster Works exactly four years later to take part in the refurbishment programme, being outshopped in large logo livery the following March, and arguably never looked better. Two years later in April 1985 it again received the attention of the painters, this time care of its Plymouth home, ahead of its twinning ceremony with HMS Ajax which would see it gain the smaller version of the ship’s crests. Despite their recent heavy overhaul, the four roof exhausts of the English Electric design were notorious for quickly turning the standard Rail grey roof filthy, leading the depot to effectively give up and paint the roof black to hide the oily deposits. 50046 was only the second to be so treated after 50042 Triumph, although the latter was quickly returned to grey following a visit to the ‘Plant’. Laira gave it a full repaint again in May 1987 following an F exam, although it notably did not receive the red bufferbeams that were applied to similar makeovers from the start of 1986. Over the next few years it would be allocated to the parcels and departmental sectors as well as NSE’s Thames and West of England passenger pools before it was officially retired in March 1992. Notably, both cabs survive, the No.1 end with owner Gary Hardings in Cornwall and the No.2 end at the Plym Valley Railway in Devon.

Awesome quality
Color: White, Color: White
Take your time installing! It comes with all the instructions and templates. Make sure you’re screwing this into solid wood. I would not recommend you hang your expensive PC from a particle board table. My Pc fits in well and it’s compatible with a ton of different sizes. Mine has been mounted under my desk for about 6 months and is rock solid. I will say, mine is balancing in there. If I don’t have it at its center of gravity, it could tip out. You can adjust it with the various screw holes but make sure you mount it into something solid.

PC holder that looks great and works on large PCs for easy under desk mounting
Color: Black
After a lot of research and trial and error I finally found the Heavy Duty Under Desk PC Holder. It is the only under desk PC holder that looks good and is able to hold my HP Omen 45L where I want it - under my desk. Putting it together is relatively easy as was the installation to the desk. No messing with cables or round steel tubes to get the job done. The metal is solid, the black powder coating looks great, and the installation hardware is a;l there including a drill bit, hex key, and wrench. You just need to bring a screw driver for the wood screws to attach it to your desk. Read the instructions and make sure you take the depth of your PC into account when attaching the PC holder to your desk, especially if you have a standing desk with motors.

Quality Holder
Color: White
Very quality holder and very sturdy and stable. I purchased it back in April, and it has been holding up nicely. I would definitely say that it is worth the price. I love that it's adjustable, so if I ever decide I want to new PC case, I can still use it (as long as it fits the dimensions of the holder). Putting it together and mounting it was simple. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars is that it did not come with screws, and I had to purchase some. I hope that has been changed since then.

Fantastic engineering

Awesome holder. Follow the directions. This appears to be German manufactured and very well thought out. Great having my rig off my desk - more room for my second monitor!
