Prior to this I believe railway cuttings and canals were hand dug or 'steam shovels' were used. I've never seen a steam shovel. Some years ago (10), I found locally, an old mine with some interesting machinery lying around, rotting, didn't get any photos at that time, came back last year with the kids and wife ,as it had become a heritage site. Here's some photos....
This is a single cylinder 15 hp mine train,
Lots of levers,
This has a Hatz air cooled 5cyl, not original, managed to get it running last month.
This I really liked, six cyl Hatz air cooled, the starter motor wasn't having it, should be reconditioned by next time I go back (next month).
Can't remember what this was, so much stuff...
