They're running the Willans Central valve steam engine at high speed in mid October. Still trying to work out if I can justify the 500 mile round trip to see the engine that was made in our works and went from there to the museum in 2017.

I was supposed to be going to the museum to deliver some literature I've collected from the owners of Stationary engine magazine on the 12th and 13th October, the end of season event, family problems has stopped this.

Mention was made of the phone exchange, I helped remove and delivered a lot of the equipment from the Nene Valley railway signal box, it filled a complete large room and had to be removed to make space for the new equipment, what the railway didnt realise was the two replacement units were only two boxes 18" x 18" x 4" thick.

To move the old stuff took my Vauxhall Vivaro van and a 12' long twin axle trailer to shift it all to IF.

I hope to go for the 26th October museums at night event.
