Starting the Waddon Steam Engine

This steam pumping engine, built in 1910 and doing 180hp, worked at Waddon pumping station, Croydon, Surrey. You can see its original working place in johnofbristol's youtube-video Last day at Waddon www.youtube.com . Now the engine is one of the highlights at Kew Bridge Steam Museum, London, see www.kbsm.org . The Waddon engine itself runs nearly noiseless, the soundtrack results from the neighbour's (Hathorn Davey triple engine) valve gear. If you like cats, look at 3:09 in this video. Viel Vergnuegen!
