prototype on cutting trials at Swadlincote Test Site. God this machine made me some serious money in overtime. I worked on it for years at Ireland Colliery. We were the lucky ones as we were the first pit to ever have one of these beasts. When it was going well it was a monster when it wasn't it was a pig. Can't count how many priming pumps and muff coupling we changed and getting the wheels off of the rack and pinion haulage was just a nightmare |
