Melbourne Steam Traction Engine Club

The Melbourne Steam Traction Engine Club operates as a vintage engine museum set in six hectares of parkland in the south eastern suburb of Scoresby. In all there are several hundred engines and related exhibits housed in a number of exhibition sheds around the grounds.

Steam exhibits include traction engines, among them a pair of massive Fowler Z7 steam ploughing engines, steam rollers, portable engines and a large and varied collection of industrial and marine stationary steam engines and pumps.

There is a period workshop and a diesel engine section. You are unlikely to see a comparable display of large diesel generators elsewhere. The smaller internal combustion engines are also well represented. There are displays of tractors, agricultural equipment and early road working machinery. An added attraction for the kids is the miniature railway which operates every Sunday.
