Potash is such a big part of our railway here in Canada. Canpotex, Mosaic, Potash Corp, Agrium and BHP all big names rarely seen in modeling. Has anyone ever had the idea for having a mine on their layout? I know with 3D printing these days anything is possible. Wondering if I am the only one interested in this topic.

If you are, you have something to model that is fairly unique, can't say I've seen one or any.
It crossed my mind a while back, they're pretty impressive operations!
When Atlas released their potash cars I thought about having a mine on the backdrop with a loading shed on a siding.
Years ago in my past life I hauled potash out of Rocanville and two other mines.
The mines are quite the set up. Nothing to really replicate to kit bash for them. There would be a lot of photography and planning involved with even having one custom made. Kinda sucks considering it's a big part of the terminal I work at.
