Birmingham museums collections centre open day, May 13th
 

Mrs M and I are thinking of having a run over to this, looks interesting and there is a very nice and seldom seen Aveling roller and Burrell Gold Medal tractor to have a look at.

Be good to see the engines, is there anything other steam related items in there???.

Lots! And lots...bikes, motorbikes, cars, machine tools, railway stuff and more. Stationary steam engines, bits of Burrell...

quite a lot of the stuff formerly at new street science museum that was not put on display at millennium point so theres a lot of hot air engines and workshop engines
