Beside building my my large Clay built Cornish Pumping enine, I also make card cut-out kits, which are around 'N' gauge. I say around, because all of these engines vary in size due to the different sized beam engines within. The one above is a replica of a mine in St Agnes, Cornwall, called 'Wheal Friendly'. It overlooks the lovely Trevaunance Cove and today is just a ruin, along with many in the County.

One very famous mine is the 'Michell's Whim Engine', which sits by the main street in Pool, between Redruth and Camborne. Now owned by the National Trust, it is a good example of a Cornish winding engine. I have also made this, again in 'N' gauge. They are printed on card and cut out and glued together. The picture below shows the completed model and make a nice addition to scenery, or layout.

The National Trust also own the 90" puming engine at Taylor's Shaft, across the road and behind the Morrison's store. This engine is the third largest engine ever built and both can be visited in the Summer months. Below is my model of that mine engine.
