I visited the pumping station for the first time this weekend - and was very impressed - the two beam engines are superb!- while i was there i had a long chat with some locals who had brought some stationary engines to display - one nice chap informed me of an engine display / sale on the A38 towards matlock (from M1 ) can any one tell me what its called ? i forgot , and am hoping to find a Petter M or similar- or does anyone have one to sell? thanks julian

Cromford auction never usually attracts much in the way of enignes im afraid. But you may be lucky. Apart from that it is usually a cracking rally set in a really nice setting.

If you want a really good permanent display, visit the stationary engine museum at the Midland Railway Centre -
