One of the many alternative means of transport around the railway systems in the slate mines, quarries and related areas. This example relies on human arm-power, but the gearing looks advantageous. There are a couple of slab waggons behind, which seem to be built to the narrower 2ft gauge, as used on the quarry/mine working levels.
