Get ready for the Narrow-Gauge Slate Incline!

This design is inspired by the real-life Bryn Eglwys Incline that operated for over 100 years on the Talyllyn Railway. Freight cars are filled up at the summit of the hill, and a winch house uses the weight of the full cars to pull a new set of cars up the hill. In Lego form, this is achieved through a Technic gear mechanism. I, like many, was mesmerized by this location when it was adapted into a location in popular train media that I watched as a kid.

Features of this set include:

- A detailed mountain

- A fully functioning incline winch that moves one line up as the other goes down

- A narrow-gauge train engine based on the Talyllyn Railway’s 0-4-0DM Hunslet Diesel, “Alf”

- 4 narrow-gauge wagons for carrying slate, tools, and water barrels

- A crane for loading and unloading cargo

- A mine for extracting slate

- An Aqueduct from the mountain spring that brings fresh water to the site

- A fuel pump for refueling the engine

- 4 minifigures

- Lots of accessories and tools

Thank you for checking out my design! Feedback on how to make it better would be much appreciated. Please share this design with your friends so we can bring this fascinating piece of narrow-gauge railway history into Lego form!
