I am led to believe that the cost implications of providing enough steam to enable this to happen may mean it is some time before the event is repeated.
These are marvels of Victorian engineering and well worth a look at :wink: 8)
If you have never been to the pumping station before and have any interest in old stuff I can recommend it.
I just hope the steam shovel excavator is the next to be brought back to life :D
Lets hope all goes well for them on the 2 days :wink:

Cheers
