The Mine

Boyz, Yet to be named, I put the “Mock-up” in place to see what it looks like. Siding will be here next week, roofing is in the works. I still have a long way to go, and a couple more buildings to add. It has no particular prototype. I just modified some pictures from my books, and scaled them out. Sorry for the lousy pics, I don’t have a new photo editing program yet on this new 'pooter.

Itsall Mine, Notyours Mine, Dontouch Mine, Watts-Myniss Mine…

Mineall Mine…

Looks good!

LOOKS LIKE YET ANOTHER OUTSTANDING PIECE OF WORK JOHN.

Looks great John! Love the trestle / tipple.

nice looking John. This mean you didn’t need the inclined ramp track to get to the top?

Looks great, like the way it’s all shaped into the landscape… neato!!!

So, jb, does this mean that we are going to stop chasing our cabooses on your layout, and start operating?

Yep.
1:20.3 locomotion only. :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

Oops. Almost forgot. Steam power.
Dismals haven’t been invented yet.

John,
Nice job. It’s going to be a great photo spot when you’re done.

However they didn’t use levels back in the day before dismals so why use one now?

I like that last one :) You could call it the EFWTA Mine and when people ask about the acronym, just say Evil First Wife Took All and let them figure it out !

Only works for some of us though.

If you decide to sell it or give it away, it could be Usta B. Mine

The prototype I used was a small mine in Colorado called the “Gold King Mine”. It was prolly a 7 or 10 man operation. We didn’t find gold here; we found silver. But keep 'em coming! :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

I’ve thought for some time my railroad would service the “Minol Mine”

How about “Whatsyoursis Mine.”

My ex thought that way…

Steve, Nice ring to it, but Watts-Urziss Mine 2 reads just a little better…
