点评:This was a specific visit to enjoy the Don Valley Engine experience. This one-to-one experience (details on their website) was conducted, on the day I went at least, by the head engineer Eddy.
I won't go into the detail of the engine, because if you're considering this experience you'll have done your homework already. Suffice to say the engine, which is of course the centrepiece of the whole museum, is awesome and no industrial history/ archaeology enthusiast could fail to be impressed by Eddy's knowledge and experience, and by the pleasure of having a chance to operate the engine in full steam. There is also the possibility of a behind-the-scenes look at parts of the museum you'd be otherwise unlikely to see.
Not cheap, but it's money helping to support the museum, and is great value.
翻译:这是一次专门的参观,旨在享受 Don Valley 发动机的体验。至少在我去的那天,这次一对一的体验(详情可在他们的网站上查看)是由首席工程师 Eddy 进行的。
我不会详细介绍发动机,因为如果您正在考虑这次体验,那么您已经做好了功课。可以说,发动机是整个博物馆的核心,非常棒,没有一个工业历史/考古爱好者会对 Eddy 的知识和经验印象深刻,并且有机会全速操作发动机的乐趣。您还可以看到博物馆幕后的部分,否则您不太可能看到这些部分。
不便宜,但这是帮助支持博物馆的资金,非常值得。
