Exploring a Giant STEAM ENGINE ran non-stop for 80 years

I saw a Giant Steam Engine that ran non-stop for 80 years!

Wow, what an amazing piece of machinery. It's a Cornish Beam Engine at Prestongrange Mining Museum near Edinburgh.

Join me for a walkabout. The museum is free, and mainly outside so you can get a good walk and there's plenty to see. We'll see the Beam Engine, Mining Framehead, mining crane and trucks and the Hoffman Kiln.
