Well, you actually got me wondering ... Could it be that they have the machinery working but not on steam power? Maybe they're using compressed air or even electricity?!
I was expecting the engines to be noisy and to hear a "chuff chuffing" sound as well as smelling steam/coal but there was none of that. The machinery was very smooth and quiet. The tour guide started the engines by simply inserting a key and pressing a button.
I'm curious so I might even phone them and ask !
Cheers,
