Steam Engines<br />

A steam engine is an external combustion heat engine<br />

that makes use of the heat energy that exists in steam,<br />

converting it to mechanical work.<br />

Steam engines were used as the prime mover in<br />

pumping stations, locomotives, steam ships, traction<br />

engines; steam lorries and other road vehicles. They were<br />

essential to the Industrial Revolution and saw widespread<br />

commercial use driving machinery in factories and<br />

mill, although most have since been superseded by<br />

internal combustions engines and electric motors. Steam<br />

engines would have been scrapped and disappeared if<br />

enthusiast had not saved and preserved these wonderful<br />

examples of British Engineering. Today there are about<br />

3,000 steam engines in preservation.<br />
