Steam Engines in action – 2024 Heritage Festival

Join us at the Tamworth Powerstation Museum and watch the mighty John Fowler Steam Engines come alive!

The Tamworth Powerstation is lucky enough to house two restored Fowler cross compound under type steam engines, similar to those used in 1888. These restored engines are only ‘powered up’ a few times each year, where you can feel the heat from the boiler, see the escaping steam and witness engines that were used to power electric street lighting many years ago.

The steam engines will be running on Saturday 20 April, from 3pm – 7pm, and Sunday 21 April from 9am-1pm.

You can see the steam engines for free!

Entry fees into the Museum apply, $5 per adult and $3 for concession card holders.

Pop on down and see history in action!
