A static engine outside the main museum, not the best colour scheme! It's a single cylinder engine with Meyer expansion slide valve that was built at an unknown date by The Railway & General Engineering Company, Nottingham and used at the works of Potclays Ltd, Etruria, Stoke-on-Trent. The cylinder is c16" x 36" and the flywheel is 10' 6" diameter. It was removed in 1983 and displayed for many years in Ellesmere Port. See - Image Image
