In this special behind-the-railing experience, you and three of your guests will learn the basics of steam engine technology, then put your knowledge into action by preparing and operating a variety of the Museum's stationary steam engines and pumps using compressed air. Examples range from model engines that fit in the palm of your hand to our 115-ton Corliss steam engine that is the size of a small house. Included is 1 Corliss Engine T-Shirt, 1 Corliss Engine Mug, and 1 Copy of "The Big Green Machine", a history of NMIH’s 1914 Corliss Engine. A $400 value for $300! Limited quantities available.
NMIH's self-published book, “The Big Green Machine,” is the story about the restoration process behind its massive 115-ton Corliss steam engine. The book details the machine's history, how it was rescued from a field, and the painstaking process undertaken by our volunteers to restore the machine to operating status.
