Here are some photos of the hamlet of Rimer's Corner WV (as currently laid out) on the West Virginia Midland narrow gauge. Rimer's Corner is between Webster Springs and Skelt, but so small, it's not even noted on most maps.
WV, your pictures are still small, even when I click on them. I think you left out the overall view too. From what I can see, those are some real typical coal patch buildings. Were they built from kits and, if so, which ones? That general store has a lot of character.
The general store/post office and Sinclair station were scratchbuilt by...Tom Rimer, hence the name of the town. The pool hall is a Guts, Gravel and Glory plaster kit. I'm hoping for larger, better pics soon. I have numerous pieces built by Tom, all of which will be featured on the layout somewhere. The man is a great builder.
1. The WVM/P&WS coal transfer
2. The supervisor's house
3. 12 company houses
4. Montgomery Mining Tipple #4 (an absolute monster in size)
5. Pardee & Curtin Lumber
6. Pardee & Curtin sawmill and planing mill
7. Ma Barker's Rooming House/Skip's Bar (hint: rooming house is being polite)
8. Montgomery Mining Supply House #2 (a background wedge shaped building)
9. Williams River Furniture
10. 2 truck dumps (one of which is 20" long)
11. 3 stations
12. The coal patch doctor's office
13. Nordi's garage (from an RMC article)
14. Mast's Corner Store/Garage (from an MR article)
15. A stand-alone General Store
16. A small town grocery warehouse
17. Skelt Farm Supply (a Jack Work model from an MR article)
I look forward to showing off Tom's fine workmanship.
