This morning the restored ram pump was given its first run ‘in anger’ using the Steam Mule for power. A few adjustments remain to be made but its builder, David Young, was well pleased with the results. Here are some photos of the occasion as well as a short film…

Below: A reminder of the pump before restoration, stored on site but otherwise untouched.
