If anyone is interested, the beam engines at the Abbey Pumping Station in Leicester will be running this Sunday 2nd Dec from 1-5 pm.

I know it's not model engineering, but they are 'works of art'. The attention to detail on the engines and the building itself is amazing considering what the pumps were pumping !!!!!!!!!!

Sorry if i've put this post somewhere i shouldn't have

Have Fun
