Penrith Steam Museum - steam engine
This Pollit & Wigzell horizontal tandem compound engine was originally supplied to London to drive machinery for preparing the feed of horses for omnibuses. It later went to Krumlin Mills, Barkisland, West Yorkshire where I saw it in about 1977. It was on display here for several years then went to a private collector in Ascot (where I saw it dismantled) and is now in the hands of another collector somewhere near Inverness (I believe).
The location is correct to the best of my ability but it is a long time ago. The museum was actually in the former Castlegate Foundry and also had a Robey undertype and a Harker test engine in addition to road steam vehicles. I can't find any other pictures of the museum on the web and this is probably a rare photograph in terms of being publicly viewable.

Penrith Steam Museum - Robey undertype steam engine
This museum is now long gone but contained this beautiful, workable Robey single cylinder undertype semi-portable steam engine - No. 49166, c1940. This was purchased by a private collector in the south-east and exhibited at the former Knowle Hill Rally. It was once on the front cover of Model Engineer magazine if I remember correctly. The owner passed on but I it remained with his wife and in store in the Knowle Hill area. It was subsequently auctioned and bought privately. it is now on loan to the Robey Trust at Tavistock and in 2018 is receiving major boiler work.
