Test photo, tried to load the model engine photos with no success, perhaps I exceeded the size limit [ Guests cannot view attachments ]
You could look at that picture a hundred times and probably spot something new!
I wish my engines looked and were displayed that nice 😂
wow... what a image to behold!
Wow!!!! Just Amazing!!!!!
That place is amazing!
A visit has been on my bucket list for many years.
Inge:
How did you gain access to the facility?
My understanding is that it is not open to the public.

You can buy tickets to attend their fund raisers. go to Sanfillipo Foundation web site. Be sure to read the event description and make sure it includes a tour of the carousel building at the end, which houses the steam engines. The event I attended was a gathering of Music Box Society folks.
This is an incredible site - never seen anything
like that. The Corliss engine in front - the
many flywheels in the hall - amazing.
Unfortunately it is located close to Chicago -
too far away for me.
Thanks for this great picture

Thanks for sharing, these engines really highlight how they were so elegantly and elaborately adorned with so many artistic details. Especially with so many of them displayed together in one place. Reflecting perhaps a very different perspective on technology compared to today. Beautiful!
