I would just like to set the record straight - TOTP Pan’s People – Tap Turns On The Water, it was filmed at Walton on Thames Pumping Station, the 2 engines featured were No 4 Thames Ironworks Triple expansion engine built in 1911 (still there) and No 6 Hathorn Davey & Co Ltd Triple expansion engine built in 1926, makers name can be seen on the front of the engine. ( Cut up for scrap in late 70's). The Kempton Park engines were built by Worthington Simpson and completed in 1929. Widefox; talk 21:31, 30 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Engine rating

It does not make sense that the engines in Kempton Park are rated at 1008hp while the "similar size" ones used in Titanic were rated at 16000hp. Either the numbers are wrong or the comparison "similar size" is not correct. 212.20.99.122 (talk) 10:59, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
