Even without steam, the museum has other engines that will be running since they do not use steam. There is a large Crossley engine, and an operational Lister in its own shed; also a waterwheel and other curiosities. The Marshall boiler is also on view and you will be able to look around it. People are inclined to stay away when the steam is "off", which is a pity because the museum still has a lot to look at.
This information is given as accurately as possible; visitors intending to travel some distance should check to ensure that the event is still on. Please see the Contact page for assistance.
