DriveBy - Little Choo Choo Letterbox Hybrid

Placed with the kind permission from The Museum Of Power supporting Geocaching. The cache hide must not be adopted when placing your own cache.

There is a stamp inside the letterbox container, it is not an item intended for trade. The stamp is meant to remain in the box so that visitors can use it to record their visit. Inside you’ll also find a log book, ink pad and pen. One can drive up to the cache.

The property is part of The Essex and Suffolk Water Company where the old steam pumping station is now used for the Museum Of Power. ‘Marshall’, the 1931 Lilleshall Pumping Engine No. 282, currently run on compressed air, is believed to be the only working example of a Lilleshall Triple Expansion steam engine in the world.

Set in seven acres of grounds with the River Blackwater running through, the main exhibits are housed in the 1920s Steam Pumping Station, the former generator hall and boiler house, with many working examples of various power sources, machinery, equipment and tools.

Outside in the grounds more attractions can be found including a model village, picnic area and the ever-popular ‘miniature railway’.
