Sneyd Colliery Drive

Sneyd Colliery Drive

Sneyd Colliery and Brickworks straddled the Loop Line. It was home to a Beyer Garratt locomotive, one of only four articulated engines used at industrial locations in the UK. In this 1 hour session you will drive the Garratt over much of the extensive site as you collect and distribute coal, sand, clay, bricks and stone. You will need to keep a watch for coal and stone wagons that are being gravity shunted past the colliery screens.
There is also a narrow gauge rail system that covers that part of the brickworks which is to the east of the Loop Line. Two petrol driven engines are in continuous use dealing with the sand, clay, coal and brick materials.
