Deecee905. Many years ago I watched the cable trucks go from Stanley (full) to Dunston and they hauled the empty trucks back up. So simple and cheap. No Loco

What is the purpose of the wheel the man is turning at the start ?

Health and Safety would have a fit these days !

[@neildahlgaard-sigsworth3819]
