Other Engines on site
This page shows all the Small engines and Water Pumps that we have on site many of the small engines can be run on compressed air. All restored engines can be seen running on open days on air, and on those days when volunteers are present at the mill. Just ask and we will be happy to show the engines running subject to volunteer levels and work being carried out at the time of visit check our Facebook page before travelling – Sunday afternoons are often best.
