I think manganese is a fascinating metal, apart from Nant Gadwen near Aberdaron, are there any which are worth of underground exploration?

Also, Ivor the engine, who is he?

Davel is your man for Manganese :thumbup:

"Ivor the Engine" was one of the best children's television programmes ever. He was an 0-4-0 pulling coal trucks in South Wales, he had a dragon living in his fire-box and his driver was called "Jones the steam".

Have you been down any of them? I have seen this website before, very detailed, some of the external inclines and such certainly look interesting.

I remember him now, I just thought I'd be spontaneous and ask 😛

Some of the scenery is a bit like South Wales and there is a coal mine, but these are things typically thought to be Welsh so they probably just included them for that :)
