2 foundations yet to do |
| Sleepers |
We will always require sleepers
as even when the tramways are complete. There will be a rolling
replacement requirement as the wood decays. |
WE have received a large
donation of sleepers, but more still required |
| Rails |
We have decided on using a
minimum of 35lb/ft
rails, but we would consider any other larger size. |
We have reserved a stock of
track panels and turnouts. These are available to the museum, when funds
are available. Any donations will be gratefully received.
We have received a large
quantity of ex-Norden rail from Seaton Tramway. It is light and will be
used underground. |
| Rolling Stock |
Any 2 foot gauge would be most
welcome |
We have received a Ruston
48DL locomotive, and a quantity of ex Norden V skips. |
| Gardening Tools |
We have a large area of land
that requires maintenance and any tools would be useful. Spades, Forks,
Rakes, Brooms, Wheel barrows, and anything else |
We have received some of each
of these, but find that at times we could do with more wheel barrows,
brooms. We do have enough forks, spades shears now. |
| Grass Cutting equipment |
We need
a petrol mower, any working condition, Strimmers, shears. |
We have received shears, scythes,
but still need that lawnmower and to a lesser extent - strimmers. |
| Mechanical Tools |
The is a lot of metal working,
and wood working to complete and any suitable tools would be most
welcome. |
We have received a large quantity
of spanners and bolts and a few other tools, but still need more. |
| De-rusting and Painting |
Oh what a lovely job, it does
require consumables paint, paintbrushes, wire brushes, masks, eye
protection, and a shower at the end of a day. |
We have received some
donations, but we will always require more. |
| Scaffolding |
We will need high level access
and therefore are looking for scaffold towers |
We are just about managing with borrowed
equipment, but will be grateful for more. |
| Ladders |
See above.

We have received ladders, but
we still seem to need a few more. |

mat. 33" x 20"

brand new mat. |
| Glass Doors for display cabinet |
Foreman's Office requires double
sliding glass front to the display cabinet. e-mail for size
|
A perplex sliding door front
has been made from materials recovered from a redundant school |
| Cine (Video or DVD) Film of the Railways and
Mining in Purbeck and Photographs |
We will always need more films and
photographs to display in the Museum when complete. |
We have very few cine films
and yet the mining activities must have been an ideal subject. A big thank
you to all who have donated their private collections of mining
photographs, but keep them coming |
