Itzall Mine ships first carloads......

#1

Deer Creek Railway welcomed a new online customer recently. The new Itzall Mine owned by the Progressive Mineral Mining Company began shipping carloads of its rare minerals to our government. Itzall mine according to a press release is Americas only source for Stupidium, Doltite and Moronium. They have been selling it to our government since the 1930’s.

Enough backstory…Dave Hill built the basic mine structure for me and I painted it , built the ore pockets and lettered it. Dave used a wood inner structure and political yard signs for the exterior skin.It leans slightly to the left so the sign must have been from a Democrat candidate!!!

Very clever Dave. I like the building it looks good in that corner and the back story.
What you need now are several stock cars with a load of cattle so the resulting manure can be brought to the mine.
If the miners keep digging maybe they will strike a vein of Unobtainium and they can send that to Washington to put toward a balanced budget. LOL

Looks sharp, Dave. But, be careful! The Department of Redundancy Department could be after you. :wink:

I like it Dave but with the seemingly endless supply of those minerals at large it’s hard to believe they’re only mined there. :stuck_out_tongue: :wink:

A little goes a long way.

Clever, these Americans. Well done, Dave and if I must say without repeating myself I will say again and repeat that what I have to say is what I forgot.

But I think this will inspire me to perhaps look again for my Upsidaisium Mine.
