 | Associated British Ports | ABP at Newport have donated a number of items including a very handy small mobile crane and a welder. | | |
 | BEMA Engineering | BEMA donated a spark eroder in 2006 for the workshop. A nice to have item that would have been well outside our budget. | | |
 | Cardi Building Supplies | Cardi have supplied all the floor paint for the museum since we opened. It helps keep the place looking as it should and if you live locally please use them & let them know you know they helped! | | |
 | Cummins | Casual visitors to the museum may not know the link the museum has with Cummins. The name "Internal Fire" is the title of a book by Lyle Cummins, son of the founder of Cummins Diesels. A visitor in 2005 from the Cummins factory at Daventry thought we should have one. As a result, in 2006 a 53 litre V16 Cummins arrived at the museum have been sorted and repainted, makes a very good comparison with some of our older exhibits. | | |
 | DEB | With terrible condensation problems over winter the museum now has help from DEB to control it. We use large quantities of Duck oil every winter and DEB have now sent us enough for the 2007 season as well as something to keep our hands clean, good news fro the volunteers. | | |
 | Dennis Ruabon | When the new Lister Room was being planned before Easter the only floor covering that seemed to fit was red quarry tiles.
A hopeful email to Dennis Ruabon was quickly answered with the offer of 10 square metres of red quarry. Keith flew up to collect and Hazel laid them that night, looks just right. | | |
 | Dwr Cymru/Welsh Water | Dwr Cymru donated a three throw pump in 2006 which helped finish the final display in Power Hall 3.
In 2008 they also donated the Amanco 6hp and a Belliss & Morcom genset from Elan Valley. | | |
 | Exide | One of the major problems for the new Turbine Shed was provision of a good battery set for starting. We need a 110v set for starting the Proteus and Paxman engines and Exide came to the resuce with a full set of Gel cells. | | |
 | First Hydro | First Hydro donated the Paxman V12 from their Hydro plant at Ffestiniog. Another item we were glad to receive as too many of these "later" engines are still considered too new for preservation. FH have also made a significant donation towards the funding of the Turbine Shed. | | |
 | Flexsys | Flexsys at Ruabon have donated a number of items including a twin cylinder Allen diesel angine and a very usefuly Lister starting compressor set currently used daily in Power Hall 3. | | |
 | International Paint | International came to the rescue for the summer 2007 season with a van load of floor paint. Cardi Building Supplies had sponsored the paint for three years but were unable to help in 2007 so it was a great relief when International offered all our floor paint. | | |
 | JCB | A number of visitors were asking what the UK now actually manufactured in the way of diesel engines. The JCB 444 is one of the newer products on the market and one of the few true UK engines. JCB generously donated an engine at the end of 2006 and this is now on display in the shop. | | |
 | Morris Lubricants | Morris have supplied oil and grease for the big Tangye MLD7 in Hall3 to help keep her running 7 days a week. | | |
 | NIDUM | When our old turret mill in the workshop called it a day, NIDUM came to the rescue with an AJAX mill and DRO. Bit posh for us, very very useful. | | |
 | North Level Drainage | NLD were removing two Crossley-Premier diesels and were anxious to save them They generously donated one to Internal Fire and the other to The Anson Engine Museum in Cheshire. | | |
 | Novelis | Another interesting and unexpected donation. The large switchboard and mercury arc rectifier in Hall 2 are among the items donated from the Alcan plant at Newport. | | |
 | Pennine Lubricants | Pennine have provided all the oil for the Ruston 6VE. Without them we would have struggled to get her running as 80 gallons just to fill the sump is a bank breaker. | | |
 | PRISM Fund | The PRISM fund have helped us with two moves that would have been well beyond us. The first was help with shifting the two ex Balmoral Newbury Sirron diesel engines. It will be a while before we can proceed with these but at least they were saved from the scrapman.
The second was the move of the ECC alternator for the Proteus gas turbine from Rolls at Bristol. | | |
 | Rolls-Royce | Rolls-Royce Bristol have been very generous and donated a number of exhibits as well as machine tools. The alternator for the Proteus genset with associated switch gear is currently under restoration. | | |
 | South Staffordshire Water | South Staffs Water donated our most prized exhibit, the Sulzer blast injection Diesel. This was a very significant donation and helped put is "on the map". | | |
 | Sutton & East Surrey Water | Our thanks to Peter Stephenson at S & ESW for organising the donation and transport of the 3 cylinder S47 diesel from Leatherhead as well as spares from a second engine. The S47 is awaiting installation in Power Hall 5. | | |
 | Three Valleys Water | TVW approached us in 2006 via the IDGTE and offered us a Ruston 6VCB genset. Not only did the donate it, they moved it as well, brilliant. | | |
 | Wartsila | For 2008 Wartsila have sponsored the daily running of the Sulzer blast injection diesel. A very generous donation covering fuel and oil for the year. | | |
 | Western Power | Western Power donated the Proteus turbine and associated equipment. At a time when this sort of equipment is still not considered "valuable", this was an unexpected and significant donation. | | |
 | Wildcat Engineering | Thanks to Ian at Wildcat who has done some wonderful machining work for us on the Worthington-Simpson. | | |
