Penarth Mine

[Tony Salusbury]

No weren't on when I was there on Tuesday.

What a tragic event!
However, if I recall correctly when I was there with engineer Richard he quickly pointed out that this trolley is a bit of a botch up.  It has been cut down to fit this short section of track. It is not original to this location. It is also relatively new compared to the other remaining ferrous artefacts.

I suggest that the people who built it decided that they needed the wheels for another project and they came up and took them off the easiest way.  I can't believe people came all the way up to the mine with a power grinder to pinch the wheels for scrap.  

Who knows that it was not Marty?

doubt it - he's given up M.E.ing

Whats always amazed me is why no-one ever questioned the scum who cobbled it together and used it to remove (steal) the original tub from gasbag and then felt it was ok to leave their litter in there.

Thats someone i'd really like to know the name of - maybe they wanted there wheels back?
