This sounds like a blinder [See How They Run at Caphouse

Now this is very much tickling my anorak
" Our yearly weekend celebrating National Science & Engineering
Week will be happening again on 23-24 March. As normal we'll be
powering up our Dosco Mk.2 roadheader, Eimco rocker shovel,
workshop line shafting, British Jeffrey Diamond 'Ace' coal
cutter and 1876 steam winder and we'll also be giving talking in
the stableyard. Our narrow gauge ex-Prince of Wales Colliery
Clayton battery underground BO-BO will be working the line
connecting both ends of the Museum.
New for this year will be some special 'see how they run'
underground tours, on these we'll be powering up an Eimco 613
bucket, running a short demontration length of endless haulage
using an 80 year old compressed air haulage engine and
demonstarting a few compressed air drills.
The whole event is free, although there is a £2.00 charge for
your pit check to go underground on the normal tour or the
special tour - if you want to do the special its best to book in
as soon as you arrive at the museum (we'll refund the £2.00 if
you hand your check back in, or you can keep it as souvenir and
we'll Gift Aid it and raise a bit more money for the Museum."
Anyone else up for a Day out :-?

Yip. I'm in. I have about six tokens from previous visits so I
could sell them back to help cover the fuel. wagfinger

getting Traceys Landrover's gearbox back in place ... :2mo5pow:
