There are quite a few interesting films on Utube including this one of Dorothea underwater.

That's a fascinating vid Hymac580c. I see it is available to buy or download on their website although it doesn't say how long the full version is!

While talking about Dinorwig I forgot to tell you that I put a couple of vids of the Smith excavator engine running at the slate musuem Llanberis this June. Sorry can't do the link.

It runs very well, given the time that's passed.

That, I suppose is the joy of older machinery: it will run and run, well beyond much of the modern computer-controlled stuff.
