I was there recently - on a steaming day - they get it up & running.

There's a second identical engine that you can climb all over on a guided tour - i'm standing on it when i took this picture.

Bonjour,


Quite impressive steam machines, and, as steam boat passionate, I would have liked to see the Titanic ones...

This engine was dressed up and used in the Titanic film. It's about the same size but different to the Titanic engine being only 3 cylinder where the Titanic had 2 low pressure pistons making 4 in total per engine.
