Brief description
"Internal Fire charts the development of the steam engine through to the most modern internal combustion engines. The continuous development that has shaped modern engine technology is demonstrated by working engines from 1850s steam engines through to modern computer controlled high speed diesels.
Engines run in the museum every day with a variety of sounds and smells that are eye opening to those who don't remember and evocative of a previous life to those who do.
From Watt to Whittle Internal Fire houses working examples of steam, paraffin, petrol, diesel and even a 4000 horsepower jet engine all run regularly.
The museum operates internal combustion engines on a daily basis and steam engines on certain days each month of operation from Easter until October.
As well as engines and generators we display driven and related equipment which includes GPO telephone exchanges and vintage radio equipment. The Exchange Rooms are popular with young and old and show equipment covering a century of telecommunications history."
