The Trust owns a big collection of
mining machinery and equipment. Through the activities of its members, many
of these are now in a working condition.
With the assistance of T O Tomlins Ltd, we take a unique working
display to steam rallies, etc. We
have been to every Onslow Steam Rally since 1998 and a few others as well.

Hiring the Display We are able to offer the organisers of
steam fairs, shows, etc a unique set of working mining artifacts which can
only enhance their event. Obviously being a Trust we will need to cover our
costs, so detailed below are the possibilities you may wish to consider
before you decide if you wish to book us. Note that there is no charge for
Trust members' time, only the actual transportation costs. The permanent
display is kept on a lorry trailer and consists of :-
The basic charge is 50p/mile for the round trip from
Halfway House, Shropshire which pays for the lorry diesel. The display can be static but looks even better if
it is working with the rails laid. The Eimco will load stone into one truck
which is winched onto the lorry platform. It is emptied and the stone passed
through the jaw crusher. The
stone is then loaded into the other truck which is drawn away by the BEV loco
and tipped. If you want the working display you will need to
supply :- ·
Flat belt drive from a tractor or steam
traction engine ·
450cfm compressor and 2 x 30ft
jackhammer-type hoses, together with the fuel to run it ·
Stone. If you wish, you can contact Stuart
Tomlins to negotiate the additional cost of us acquiring some ·
If you want the rock drill working then
you will need to provide a third compressor hose. |
