The site's stationary steam engines are plumbed into a compressed air circuit that can be charged up by this most impressive piece of kit with a Gardner diesel engine driving a Holman compressor. I have yet to see the engines here run but would very much like to do so one day. There is a longer term plan to put steam on but I think this is a while away.
