There are engines running daily from small to giant.
Telephones to play with and working radios. Most Halls have an engine running all day and larger engines are started as and when required.
Equipment in the telephone and radio rooms is always running and interactive.

Industrial Heritage is particularly important as
we move into the age of technology, it keeps
us in touch with the practical skills that helped form
where we are today.

Internal Fire charts the development of the steam engine through to the most modern internal combustion engines. The continuous development that has shaped modern engine technology is demonstrated by working engines from 1850s steam engines through to modern computer controlled high speed diesels.

Engines run in the museum every day with a variety of sounds and smells that are eye opening to those who don't remember and evocative of a previous life to those who do.

Always Something Running

Daily what is happening

There are always engines running when we are open.
Things need to work to come alive and every day there will be engines running around the museum. At least 8 engines are running at any time and other engines are started and run throughout the day.
