Coal Mine Engine House and Winding Gear released!

[Leon]

One for the bigger scales next, with a mining set now available comprising of brick engine house and winding gear, for both 20mm and 28mm scales.

These setups would have been found across Britain in the 19th and early 20th centuries, with the house containing a steam engine for either hoisting the mined materials to the surface, or pumping water out from the mine below.

They're probably not the most in-demand wargaming item but they'll make a nice addition to any 'What if?' type games like A Very British Civil War.

A perfect opener for your "Spanish Inquisition" set.

Animated titles. Music: Black Dyke Mills Band playing a slow dirge. Stock shot of mill town at the turn of the century - at night. SUBTITLE: 'JARROW - NEW YEAR'S EVE 1911' SUBTITLE: 'JARROW 1912' Mix through to mill-owner's opulent sitting room at the turn of the century. Lady Mountback sits with her crochet. There is a knock on the door.
Lady Mountback	Come in.
	Enter Reg, cap in hand.
Reg	Trouble at mill.
Lady Mountback	Oh no. What sort of trouble?
Reg	One on't cross beams gone owt askew on treddle.
Lady Mountback	Pardon?
Reg	One on't cross beams gone owt askew on treddle.
Lady Mountback	I don't understand what you're saying.
Reg	(slightly irritatedly and with exaggeratedly clear accent) One of the cross beams has gone out askew on the treddle.
Lady Mountback	Well what on earth does that mean?
Reg	I don't know. Mr Wentworth just told me to come in here and say that there was trouble at the mill, that's all - I didn't expect a kind of Spanish Inquisition.
	Jarring chord. The door flies open and Cardinal Ximinez of Spain enters, flanked by two junior cardinals. Cardinal Biggles has goggles pushed over his forehead. Cardinal Fang is just Cardinal Fang.
Ximinez	Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition! Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... our two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency.... Our three weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope.... Our four...no... amongst our weapons.... amongst our weaponry...are such elements as fear, surprise.... I'll come in again. (exit and exeunt)
Reg	I didn't expect a kind of Spanish Inquisition.
	Jarring chord. They burst in.
Ximinez	Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition! Amongst our weaponry are such diverse elements as fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency, and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope, and nice red uniforms - oh damn! (to Biggles) I can't say it, you'll have to say it.
