Non public NCM

The National Coal Mining museum is very local to myself and I have visited it a couple of times.
On this specific day, we (Nick and myself) were permitted to 'go beyond the public' and see some of the things many people don't get to see. 

Here are a few of the best pics

Conveyor 'wheels'

 2.6 tonn testing cart (for lines and brakes)

 Refurbed winches for the new learning center in the public mine
