This is based in the Rural life Living Museum near Farnham. Planet locomotive No. 2528 was at this end with an Orenstein and Koppel 0-6-0T locomotive at the opposite end. It was a very hot and sunny day and photography was trying in a heavily wooded museum.

Rural Life Living Museum near Farnham - stationary steam engine

This trailer mounted engine and boiler ensemble were visiting for a special working steam event. The engine is an inverted vertical single cylinder by Ransomes, Sims and Jefferies of Ipswich, No. 7572 of 1889. It is of 4 nominal horsepower with a slide valve cylinder 6" x 9". It was used in the Welwyn Garden City area for market garden irrigation and is now privately owned. This was a delightful unexpected discovery.
