"Just a Garden Shed..."

The wonders you find in garden sheds... like the port compound steam engine of Auckland, New Zealand's now scrapped (2019) steam crane 'Rapaki'. This engine, and others, saved by Daniel Hicks and the 'Auckland Steam Engine Society'. Daniel Hicks' garden 'Steam Shed' is truly a sight to be seen!

It's a marine compound steam engine saved from a crane ship in New Zealand that was scrapped in 2019.
