hi Matt Brought back memories, i used to machine the wheels rope groove clearance in situ around derbyshire, nottinghamshire, yorkshire mines We have a similar preserved colliery on my doorstep at Pleasley Pit, it has the steam winders ruuning at times but using a motor to turn them. Nice one👍👍👍👍 laterzzzzz Kev

Hi Kev, I must take note of that one, if I get over that way I'll try and pop in there and have a nosey. Just been looking on there website, most fascinating. They must have been interesting places when they fully operated back int day, not like now. All the best, Matt

Hi James, I find them fascinating to watch, I could sit there for hours watching each piece move. All the best, Matt

Quite humbling to see such large Victorian elegance . Was that your brother at 6:18?

[@MattChiversWorkshop]

Its was beautiful, I had to point out to my lad the Victorian tiles on the wall. My son filmed that bit 😉, so no thats not my brother, you also missed me waving in another clip 😂

What was running the engine? Seems to be an absence of steam

[@MattChiversWorkshop]

Unfortunately it runs on compressed air, they can only run it for a few minutes at a time before the air tanks run out and its only running at tick over speed apparently. Would love to see it move at speed!! All the best, Matt
