We're near the Thames on the Western side of London again, and this time we find out about The Kempton Great Engines Trust. Their grand 1920s building would be worth a visit for the architecture alone, but it houses some of the largest steam engines ever built. Also in the collection are steam turbines and spectacular early electronics. Neighbouring is the Hampton and Kempton Waterworks Railway, a narrow-gauge loop that gives passenger rides. The new title music is Infrastructure by Scott Holmes. Many thanks to him for giving his permission to use it here. You can find Scott on http://www.scottholmesmusic.uk/. (I take care about pronunciation, but I've badly mangled a place name in this episode! I've since been told that "Govan" should be pronounced like "govern". I'll try to correct this when I get a chance.)
