Here is another in depth look at our Cochran Boiler here at Forncett Industrial Steam Museum. Tom will take you through the process of warming up the boiler before a steam up and the shutting down process at the end of a good day running all our engines. This is how you put a Cochran Boiler to sleep!

Do come by on a steam day to see all we have at the museum live a running.

Model Engineers Day is this coming Sunday, October 1st! Its the last Steam Up of the season...
See you there!

Yes, we are open tomorrow - Sunday 6th October - for Model Engineers' Day. A bit of rain won't put us, or our exhibitors, off.
