    Default 'A night @ the Museum' or 'Steam Drive-In'

    G'day All,

    Looking for a fun night out?
    This Saturday, 29th November 2014, Campbelltown Steam and Machinery Museum is hosting a special event;
    'A night at Museum' or as I like to call it steam-powered Drive-In picture show!

    The movie is an all time classic 'The General' starring Buster Keaton. We are featuring The Moving Picture Show Orchestra who will be playing the original movie score LIVE!
    See details at;

    Where you may also find a booking sheet to secure a place.

    See you there,

    Default photos from the night

    Hi all,
    I managed to take some photos of the night, with my 'phone.

    WP_20141129_038[1].jpg The show in full swing.
    WP_20141129_029[1].jpg Last, but not least- the Orchestra. They played for an hour straight, to accompany the feature film.

    Many thanks to the organisers, and most of all 'The Moving Picture Show' for putting it all together. http://themovingpictureshow.com.au/

    Thanks Andrew would have been better than what was on TV for sure, having a Foxie recovering from minor surgery couldn't go anywhere.

    Thanks for the pics Andrew.
    Especially the one with the Bartram vertical boiler. Pretty rare showing 40 PSI on the gauge for one of those
