Coal mine outbuildings

[West Virginia Midland Man]

I have limited space and a small tipple; can anyone suggest what kits to use for outbuildings and which outbuildings to include?

a good machine shop is always good to have around

An office, scale house, supply shed, TNT shed.
All these could be kit bashed from any small structure.

WVMM - thanks for posting this question. I've been wondering also what other structures would belong with my main building also.

Two very good sources of photos and info regarding coal mines and how railroads served them are Chesapeake and Ohio in the Coal Fields and Chesapeake and Ohio Railway in the Coal Fields of WV and KY, both by Tom Dixon Jr.

I have both those books, plus Stan Cohen's King Coal but they don't give me an idea of which kits would work best for the outbuildings. Dynamite sheds are easy and not very large, but I model the 1950s, didn't mines stop using them in the 30s?
