Internal Fire Crowd-Funding - please help!
The recent Storm Darragh wreaked havoc with the museum, particularly destroying the polytunnel where works in progress and objects not on display were stored. Most of the objects frokm the polytunnel, including recently acquired and rare Marconi SWB8-E transmitter are now stored in the museum walkways. A Marconi T1509 transmitter has had to be stored in the Radio Room passageway. Other more substantial exhibits are sheeted up outside. While these objects are fairly safe, the museum will be unable to open until replacement storage facilities can be arranged. An extension to the Radio Area was planned to enable an RAF ground station display to be installed featuring the T1509. This is in jeopardy as the priority is to restore our storage facilities and make repairs to the museum itself.
If you can help, please click here to go to the main museum site adn follow the links to kake your donation.
Paul, Hazel and the Trustees will greatly appreciate any assistance you can offer to help us to open on schedule at Easter. Thank you for reading this request.

GB2MOP is the call sign of “Internal Fire - Museum of Power", located at Tan-y-Groes, near Cardigan in West Wales.
The Museum’s core collections chart the history of internal combustion engines, particularly large diesels in Industry and transport.
A new Motorcycle Collection, Thermodynamics Lab and an Area dedicated to Trinity Lighthouse is now open. Click here to go to the main museum web-site for details of steaming days and other museum events.
This site illustrates the museum’s growing Maritime Radio collection comprising three working ship’s Radio Rooms covering the period from the 1950s to the 1990s, as well as an extensive valve collection, Titanic feature and Sunderland flying boat wireless operator’s position. It is well worth a visit for the Radio collection alone!
As with the engines we try to keep all the radio equipment operational, we are frequently on the air using the museum’s own call sign: GB2MOP.
Museum Opening - 2025
Please see the Internal Fire website for opening hours and details of all events.
