Good video,shame about the screaming,jibbering,clucking putrid children deafening everyone with their screams for attention.I was never allowed to be as noisy as that as a kid,parents thesedays must need eardefenders to protect their ears from the high pitched screaming and jibbering.That Maudsley is a fast engine on the go,very nice.
Glad that you found it interesting :-) The Kew Bridge Steam Museum has a number of similar engines, including one that is substantially larger again than this one (well, two, but only one runs).

Glad that you like the video - children were, unfortunately, not optional, although I daresay we were all young once ;-)

Impressive machine. It's huge, yet quiet. The machine in motion looks powerful.

@jamespetts2 Yes the 90 inch engine is the largest working beam engine in the world

Respond to this video... Just to clear up something, the talk is given by Ivan one of our volunteer drivers and not a curator
