About

HAVE YOU EVER WANTED TO STOKE A HUGE COAL FIRED BOILER OR OPERATE THE OLDEST FULLY WORKING BEAM ENGINE IN THE WORLD?
Accompanied by an experienced and knowledgeable volunteer, you can light and stoke the boiler, work with the Duty Engineer, enter areas not normally seen by the public, prepare the engines for steaming, and finally take control of the oldest, working beam engine in the world.
