Ex Mining Equipment

[idwal]

I wonder if anybody can help.
We are in the early stages of opening a coal mining museum in East Kent and are looking for some ex mining equipment.
All idea's welcome.

We had a sort of fare at university about mining
We designed a tunnel, a real mining tunnel
You can do that also, build a tunnel and then use rocks and soil to cover ground. The soil and rocks we used were really coming from a Barite mine.
Then you can use some images of mining equipments you can't buy for museum, and put them on wall, and someone(s) can take charge of pictures and explain it to visitors
You can also put some real minerals and rocks in tunnel and again put someone there to explain to visitors
Hope I could help you
