Stone Crusher Restoration Update

Stone Crusher Restoration Update

14th January 2010

Davy Sheen has been working away in his snowy outpost of the Regional Museum Store workshop, principally on the stone crusher. The chassis is more or less complete and the crusher itself has been stripped, freed off and is being repainted. Work should be completed in the coming weeks. We will probably test the crusher using Michael Davison’s big Marshall, in readiness for its introduction to service at the museum at the April (15 – 18th) Power From The Past Event – which has the subtitle ‘Corporations and Contractors’ and will specifically focus on the construction and maintenance of roads and tramways – a full feature on this event to appear soon…

Below: Two pictures of the crusher and trolley this morning.
