Gentlemen,
Can I recommend the following link to download a file showing one of the rare occasions that the Hornsby Akroyd engine at Speke Hall near Liverpool is being run.

Sorry for those with a dial up connection but the file is quite large (13.75 MB) and takes some time.
I am in contact with the group who are responsible for the engine and they are interested in holding a rally at this Elizabethan hall sometime next year. Would anyone be interested?
