- Threlkeld Quarry and Mining Museum is located in Cumbria U.K and is home to the Vintage Excavator trust. The Trust is a charity that acquires and restores classic earthmoving equipment which mainly consists of cable operated machinery rather than more modern hydraulic equipment.
This is part one of an extensive walk around the quarry during the May 2019 working weekend.

Well enjoyed!.thank you for filming and sharing this great find!
skadill Lots more from this place. This is maybe only a quarter or third of the machinery that’s laying around at it.
Just think of how excited the operators were when this equipment showed up on the job when it was new.
There is a old drag line at bear run coal mine in digger Indiana you can see it on Google maps
@@andrewmaas6620 they operate two functional draglines there too I think. Atleast I know a BE2570w that I don't know the name of. Peabody is shutting down their Somerville mine which Big Kate works at. We're hoping they retire her to the mining museum
i like when you show interior thanks 👍👍
Lots or old iron there, some companies would love one of those sitting in front of their businesses
Excellent video, thanks for sharing. It brought back some happy memories for me. The NCH at about 4.02 & 5.55 belonged to my Father and I drove it some weekends and school holidays in the early 70’s. No H & S back then😀
Hope she gets restored one day, would love to see her run again.
I have never seen so many shovels and drag lines in one spot . Great video
The equipment goes on for ever. Interesting video, thanks
In the US now but used to work for Tarmac in the UK. I am pretty sure the 110RB at the start of the vid was one of two that Castle Cement had in the quarry we shared with them at Bankfield, Clitheroe, Lancs. Think they moved them out in 2003 or 2004
Get in😎
very beautiful video
Bucyrus, my passion
how much Priestman and NCK
This is the story of excavators, expecially of the english cable excavators.
Sure would have been nice to know what we were looking at. They need to watch PAMining video's.

You say during a working weekend, I know the Brits are supposed to be lazy these days, but there wasn't anything working.
BAKERTON QUARIE IN WVA IS A SUPER COOL PLACE ALSO
I live there literally like 100 meters away
Troll Karl means wizard right?
Is that a excavator wait no thats a house
Could have done with a commentary but otherwise tidy
Lee Isaac If I knew much about all the old gear in there I’d have done some commentary, but there’s so much there and so much history behind it I couldn’t do it justice.
@@AwesomeEarthmovers you only have to ask its all i n mind lol
Part 2?
What's the point of having a bunch of scrap metal around?
whats de point in having a numbscull like u around?
In recent danish: Troldkarl

Nice video but I would put music to it like I just said
No music, but a bit of back ground on what we are looking at. Where it is, what went on there, what they were mining for, why the mining ended, how many people were employed. Just some speaking telling us all about it.
My point is the music kind of makes the video that's all I'm saying I'm not complaining there's lots of music on CZcams you can use the background if you walk around it just kind of adds to what you're doing it's a very cool video I'm not complaining you enhance the video by bringing in good music so I'm saying to you have a good work
@@CowpoteAdventures i see what you mean, music would be better than crunchy foot steps on gravel wouldnt it.
Sorry but this isnt that great. Speak up and tell us about it. 3 minits into the vid and i cant watch any more.
Dude.... You need to come back at night with a truck and trailer and load up a bunch of that crap and take it to the scrap metal yard and sell it.... there's a fortune in that stuff there for the taking....... And the more trips you make, the more money you've got in your pockets........
You sound like an idiot
Yeah cus no one would notice would they...
@@bloodswettears234 Hell no they wouldn't notice, that stuff is free for the picking just like wild fruit on a tree..........
