I like your trips out Vern, book me on the next one. Is it open on Bank Holidays?

Yep. They are steaming tomorrow too. The steam sessions are every Wednesday and the first Sunday of the month plus bank holidays. It's next to the A1.

I've known about the place for five years, I pedalled past it on an Audax ride and have only just got my act together to pay it a visit.

She drew the line when I engaged one of the stem shed's workers in a long conversation about hidden gems of steam preservation and went off to look at the plants.

I can do that with teleprinters. Would you like the adjustments for one of these?

Just noticed that the motor is 240v and the governor rings are accessible! Definate H&S nono, ours had a cover that prevented access to the gap between governor & motor.

Teleprinters might only deliver upper case and Morse keys deliver both cases but telephones deliver whole words :okay:

I can tell you all about the 200, 300 & 700 types as well. :okay:

It truly was. I'm waiting for the British Engineerium at Hove to re-open in 2016. I'm looking forward to see how it has been redeveloped and improved. It was the bench mark of all things stationary steam engine related prior to its closure.
