We have TONS of railway books to get rid of. Mostly secondhand and transport-related (trams, trains waterways etc.). There is a lot there and we just need to get rid of them as soon as possible. Any charity shops, railway clubs or anyone else who is interested, please get in contact. You can have them free as long as you can pick all or some boxes up.

**UPDATE** The drainage fittings are no longer available.
Anyone know any electricians or plumbers who are interested in LOADS of fluorescent tubes or underground drainage fittings?
Anyone interested can have them for free if they pick them up! These would otherwise have to be thrown out.

**UPDATE** These have been offered to Whipps Cross Children's Department and are no longer available.
We are having a clear-out here at the Pumphouse and have a lot of stuff that we would like to get rid of. First up is a box of mixed Lego Duplo and Crayola crayons which are old but still seem to work.
If you know anyone (preferably a community group, nursery etc.) who is interested in having these for free and can pick them up, do send them our way!

Our recent electrical upgrade involved digging a trench in our shop floor! This led to some interesting discoveries, including several layers of different flooring and a small haul of archaeological treasure.

Engines and beer, anyone?
It's all happening at the Pumphouse this Sunday! Not only are we hosting the Contemporary Cask Fest E17 Beer Festival, but it's also our monthly engine running day! The Victorian horizontal engines will be running at 12 and 2. Sounds like a perfect day out, right?
Bolton Steam Museum
If you find yourself in Lancashire we highly recommend a visit to the marvellous Bolton Steam Museum. It is entirely run by enthusiastic volunteers who have restored a huge collection of engines to their former glory. This engine is running on electricity but there a few days throughout the year when you can see the machines run on steam. #industrial #industrialheritage #heritage #heritagevolunteers #volunteers
Belt-driven machinery in the non-electric workshop
Hope you're enjoying your Bank Holiday weekend! What better way to spend your Sunday than a visit to our monthly Engine Run Day? The horizontal engines will be running at 12 noon & 2pm & the belt-driven workshop machinery at 12.15 & 2.15. Museum open 11am-4pm, FREE entry!
A different kind of engine running...
We're hoping to introduce a lot more interactive elements to our displays. Volunteers have done great work making this large vehicle engine run at the touch of button - it proved very popular with our young visitors last Sunday! #museumweek #playmw

Look at what is curently on ebay, finishing today Sunday 25/10/2020.
29th 30th MAY 1937 PLAN OF EXHIBITION OF LOCOS AND STOCK AT HOE ST WALTHAMSTOW
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/383770289710
This item is a unique "one off" original hand painted rolled official plan of the Exhibition of Locomotives and Rolling Stock Etc' at Hoe Street, Walthamstow on Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th May 1937
Please note, this is not a print, the Locomotives and Rolling Stock have each been carefully hand painted in their correct liveries, the following locos are featured.
Green Arrow Express Freight Engine (Green), B12 Class Express Engine (Green), Pacific Class Express Engine (Green), D15 Express Engine (Black), Coffee Pot (Black), Golden Eagle Class (Green), Silver Link Class Engine (Silver), B17 Class Express Engine "Tottenham Hotspur" (Green), Shunting Engline (Black), P1 Class "Mikado" Class Freight Engine (Black), N7 Class Tank Engine (Black).
The plan when opened out fully measures approx' 130 x 30 inches.
Scale 20 feet to 1 inch.
The plan is signed by Arthur R Hare?
The centre section would look good framed.
There is some disintegration and a tear at the extreme right hand end, it does not extend into the main section of the plan.
Please see the auction photos for close up detail of the hand painted locos and rolling stock.
Please note that I prefer for this rare and fragile item to be collected from CR3 5TD, Caterham-on-the-Hill. I do not want to risk the unreliable postal and courier service in this day and age.
