I thought perhaps some of you who model old mines might like this photo of the Pinnickinnick Mine Tipple in Clarksburg, WV. (pronounced pin-e-con-ick) This mine was about a mile from my boyhood home. My paternal grandfather worked underground in the mine and my maternal grandfather was an engineer on the B&O railroad that hauled away the coal. I might just build a model of this someday.

Thats very cool Bob! That just might have to go on the build list great that you have a family history with it.

Excellent picture!

With a family history like that it’s a must for you to model.
