Here is the photos to go along with the trip on day 2. Most of these pictures were taken at the Connecticut Antique Machinery Museum in Kent Connecticut.



Before proceeding to the trip, we stopped at Miner Dave's house and got to visit Miner Henry the Donkey.





Miner Henry is a good boy, we are planning on setting up a nice ore car track to put Miner Henry to some good use.





At the Connecticut Antique Machinery Museum, one of the displays was an old Mine Signal sign. Wait a minute, these levels look very familiar ... Sterling Hill Mine in NJ!





Another display was setup with a miner using a rock drill.





Outside the museum, a nice side dump Ore Car sitting on 24 inch narrow gauge.





Near the ore car, we found a Rock Mucking Machine.





Another view of the mucker





Miner CTMike at the switch controls while Miner Mike pushes the car.





A cute little storage battery mine locomotive or mine motor. No batteries inside though. It looked complete otherwise.

Here is one of the prizes, a Vulcan Ironworks 36" Gauge Saddle Tank Locomotive! This one is 0-4-0T. Written on the side of this steam engine is "American Steel and Wire Company Northworks" No. 18.

A view from behind. A few parts and components are missing, some rust through, but overall pretty nice.





The Kent Blast Furnace. In pretty good shape overall.





Another view from the side.





Inside the front. Apparently some of the brick had just starting falling this year.





This is a look in the side of the furnace.





Right near the furnace, a shot along the river. Figured I'd take a shot.





You can't have mine pictures without a flower shot..
