Abbey Pumping Station Four Engine Spectacular!
« on: March 19, 2019, 04:00:15 pm »
In 2014, Abbey Pumping Station in Leicester did a world first of four beam engines running simultaneously, it was quite a feat to pull off.

Here is my own video:



Here is an even better video:



Sadly it hasn't been repeated since then but i'm pleased to report all four engines are still in running order.

Pretty amazing video seeing all four beams running simultaneously - it's wonderful that they have been preserved and restored to such a great condition. Thanks for sharing the videos!
