| Hardcore |
There are several foundations that
will require a hardcore base
|
One foundation complete and
hardcore for another on site |
| Ready Mixed Cement |
This is a high cost item and if
you know a way of helping us reduce or eliminate our costs please contact us |
several foundations
still 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. |
We have reserved a large stock of
track panels and turnouts. These are available to the museum, when funds
are available. Any donations will be gratefully received.
We have bought some 35lb track from Lynton and Barnstable and this has
been laid in front of the Transhipment shed. |
| Rolling Stock |
Although we now have a good
stock of waggons any 2 foot gauge will be most
welcome. |
We have bought a Ruston
48DL locomotive (with your kind donations), a quantity of ex Norden V
skips have been donated, some other V skips and ex MOD flat bed waggons
have been purchased. |
| Gardening Tools |
We have a large area of land
that requires maintenance and any tools would be useful. Spades, 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, shears now but not enough spades. |
| Grass Cutting equipment |
We need any working
condition a petrol Strimmer. |
We have received shears, scythes,
and a lawnmower but we still need a petrol strimmer. |
| 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 another large quantity of other tools, but there will always be a
missing size. |
| 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. |
| Ladders |
See above.
|
We have received some excellent
ladders, but
we will accept a few more. |
| 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 |
| Lighting
and Power |
We require 240v strip lights for
inside of Transhipment Shed, Any armoured cabling, clips, switches and light units

working life and need replacing - any donations gratefully accepted |

fittings, but still require more. We now have a 240/110V transformer. |
