Bessemer 20HP, first run, Somerset Steam and Gas
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.

Re: Bessemer 20HP, first run, Somerset steam and gas
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.

Wish I could make the show and see it in person! Will be up in Maine helping my parents out. Hope you have great time!

Videos would not work for me. Thanks for sharing them and the pictures though!
