This year, the Somerset Steam and Gas Engine Association received a generous donation of a nearly complete oil drilling rig, including the drilling derrick, pumpjack, and a 20HP Bessemer. We've been working feverishly to get the exhibit setup for our show this weekend (Sept. 7-9), and yesterday we got the engine running for the first time.
Here's a couple videos of the first run of the Bessemer at it's new home. ---------- Post added at 01:23:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:20:38 PM ---------- Here's another view of the engine running in its new powerhouse. |

Here is a photo of our exhibit, still a work in progress.
And some photos of the site where the rig was recovered from, just outside Charlottesville, Virginia. There's a story to tell about the whole thing and how it got to Virginia (where there's no oil), but I'll post that some other time, maybe after our show. |
