Join the team from LMTA ( Leicester Museums Technology Association ) as they take us on a tour of Leicester`s Abbey Pumping Station and it`s spectacular Beam Engines. From top to bottom, the tour titled "Steam With The Team" takes us on a trip through history and the levels of these unique and awe inspiring feats of engineering. The various LMTA team members, in dress appropriate for the era, lead the group from the ornate and cathedral-esqe upper levels, down to the hissing, gushing, high pressure valve and gear filled basement areas, with the massive beam engines in constant movement above and around you really feel like your in the presence of a living breathing iron giant. This film is a taster of the full experience which can be booked on various dates throughout the year on the Leicester Museums website; www.leicestermuseums.org .

With more locomotives working in one hour than anywhere else in the UK and a huge variety of rare, unique and historic engines on show the Statfold Barn Railway`s Spectacle Of Steam really is a Spectacle to see. My film begins at the sheds as we see the various engines "steaming up" for a day on the rails, before heading to the station to collect coaches full of passengers or freight. Next we see locomotives of all types at full steam along the tracks joined by a tram and the very unique "Goose" vehicle, How many can you spot ?. We end back at the station with the engines returning to collect more passengers. Stay tuned post-credits for some fun in the roundhouse. 

Filmed safely from the footbridge at the station, this video sees GWR steam engine Earl Of Mount Edgcumbe race through Narborough Station in Leicestershire on a test run along the line.
