  • Yep. The simple genius of it is really appealing. Carbon neutral transportation of material (albeit waggon loads of carbon compounds!)

  • I really like the way the shunter splits the waggons with a hard, well-aimed hit.

  • ive bought the DVD Tyneside Industry it is GREAT well worth buying

  • 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

  • Wow gr8 vid !!

  • I think this is the northern incline?

  • AMAZING

  • Did this stuff appear on TV a while back?

  • I was there at the weekend 13/5/07 and bought the VHS version. 23 mins. but very good. I managed to video the incline at work in the 1980s See Industrial Locos Northeast video.
