The Museum of Power near Maldon
is housed in a former water pumping
station and contains a
collection ranging from
a working Edwardian
overhead machine shop
to a diesel powered
iron. One of the
highlights is ‘Marshall’, a
300hp vertical tripleexpansion
reciprocating
steam engine made by
the Lilleshall Company.

Thanks to design advice and the
supply of hotwell equipment and
steam traps from TLV Euro
Engineering, it is now back on
steam after almost 50 years.

The museum managed to secure a
30 year old steam boiler from
Felixstowe Docks. This was
refurbished and installed in a new
plant room which, with
help from TLV Euro
Engineering, has all the
services required to
power the steam engine.

TLV supplied cast
stainless steel J3S-X freefloat
steam traps and
brass-bodied LV13N
balanced pressure
thermostatic steam traps,
which feature a ‘fail-open’ design.
