Paxman Engine

After visiting the Museum, and looking at all of the things they offered, the group and I decided that the Paxman engine was the best choice for us all as there is 5 in our group which means we should have more to do.
We looked at the " Paxman Horizontal Compound Steam Engine" and this looked perfect for us. However there wasn't too much information about it, but this would work to our advantage as we could help this by showing it with our animation in its own environment.
The engine was supplied to King and company and was despatched to Zurich on the 7th of July 1892 where it was fitted to a floating dredger, on one of the Swiss lakes and used to drive the dredging gear.
