I Think I have just about run out of BIG Engines for steam powered stuff !!!! so sorry for this post as I have had to go BIGGER !!!.
This place has one huge Engine which we didnt expect to come across as we found this place by accident, a main drum of over 120 tons in weight and could bring coal to the surface at a crazy rate of 86 feet per second !. She no longer runs on steam but instead on compressed air (once the batteries have been replaced for the generator as the pikey's have nicked them). Thats one ride i would not want to be on, there's all sorts of goodies within the grounds too.....on with the pic's
The Engine house and Engine.
as no one is in the building but us 2 time to use the ladders and get below.
