    Evening Gang: Josh: I'm doing iron mines in the Youper country. I've got a model of the Cliffs shaft in the works and plan on several more conventional under ground mines. I think that I've figured out a way to represent an open pit opertion but that won't come along untill I have more room.

    Rex: The mine heads with winch house look european but that can be hidden pretty easy. The boiler house is pretty good as is but could be changed some. What I'm thinking about doing to the mine heads is cover the brick parts with corragated siding. I may also run the siding up higher on the...

    Grandpa Coyote's Last Trackplan Post - All comments welcomed (warning long post)

    Hi GC. I like that plan of yours. You made a good choice in making the isles as wide as you did. One thought I just had on the elevation thing is to lower the terrain rather than raise the track. Does that make any sense? That bridge on the Dead river is really going to look good. I just took...
