Great museum, actually bigger than you expect. The pictures, even on their own website don't do it justice. And you will find your self spending a little longer there, than you initially thought. The lady at the entrance was really helpful and explained to me that the engines are all running on electric, but every so often, the engineers take turns in powering them up by steam so you can see how they would really operate. Which was great and makes you want to stick around a little longer. This seems to be 15 minute intervals for different engines. You can tell, as an engineer will often be oiling up one, and pulling levers and cranks, getting it ready. And you only truly appreciate the power of them when they fire them up with steam.

It's also impressive (and a shame) that they have run this museum and got it to this state without any exterior funding besides donations and personal funds, what so ever. Despite applying to the local council and National Lottery heritage fund. Images and slide shows detail them refurbing the engines and parts, setting them up, cleaning, installing things for the public. It really is a labour of love.

In short, well worth a visit.
