Today was a big day for the Steam Mule project – we collected the completed engine unit and mounted this on the trolley. David Young has done a superb job in building (for it is probably 90% new!) this engine, which will be an integral part of our Steam School – a means to train staff in steam operation, as well as be something groups and schools can also be involved with (thanks to sponsorship from the Reece Foundation).
