Mining Machinery on Display

[adrianp]

If you have ever operated an Eimco loading shovel or driven a battery loco then this may bring back memories. Here is a short video of the Shropshire Mines Trust at Onslow Steam Rally near Shrewsbury using an Eimco and a Wingrove & Rogers battery loco from their collection. Both of these came from Baraugh Pit - a small coal mine near Alston in Cumbria.



If you are interested, the working display (which also includes a winch and jaw crusher) will be at the Onslow Steam Rally over this coming August Bank Holiday

If you are interested some more, here are photos of the display

The link to the video doesn't work Adrian, if the video is on Youtube, you can post it direct here. Proboards supports Youtube, but I don't think any other flash files.
