Default Bury Transport Museum Steam Party

Its 10 years now since the Museum re-opened after a £2.5M refit, to celebrate this we are planning a series of events starting with the Anniversary of the Re-opening on Friday 27th March and ending with a Transport Gathering on the 6th and 7th June.

I have been asked to try and arrange a Steam Party over the weekend of 30th and 31st May
We will have our 3 Marshall Portables out (2 in steam) and Marshall Traction Engine 'Pearl' (in steam) but are looking for up to another 4 engines to join us.
Due to the nature of the site we can't accommodate low loaders so any engines available would have to road in, living vans welcome but I want to keep caravans to a minimum due to the amount of room in the Museum Yard
I can arrange for a supply of coal from the East Lancs Railway

If anyone is interested please let me know

Also if anyone knows of an Organ owner who may be interested in attending please let me know

Thanks

Robin

We would be able to bring a 4" scale mclaren along if that would be of any interest?

Hi
Thanks for your offer, the only issue is the yard is cobbled so wouldn't be very friendly for small engines
I think you would struggle moving around
If your local please feel free to come and have a look
I am at the museum every Sunday between 10 and 4

Cheers

Robin
