Hi all!
I'm currently rebuilding my layout from HOn3 into On30.
And the western part of it needs a nice eyecatcher.
As a big fan of the game "Red dead redemption 2", I have found a lot of inspiration there.
What really caught me was the town of Annesburg and the mine there.

It will require some selective compression to fit, and also some alterations.
But it will sure be a big building in O scale.
Hey Graffen:
Can't wait to see what you do with this.
Karl
Impressive structure even in HO scale, the details will be eve catching in O.....I'll be looking in. :)
Ditto to what Karl said. That is a great local/idea for a recreation. Looking forward to following your endeavor.
Mark
Very cool...can't wait to see what you do with this

Graffen.....
Mining is always a great eye catcher in modeling. I'll be watching.

hey Bob:
Yes it is.

I've drawn the mine in CAD.

It is quite large in O scale.
There will be some alterations made as I go.
This looks like a great project. The designers of the game really did a great job with the buildings. I often thought about building a model of the Prinz and Co Slaughter house outside St. Denis.
The preliminary drawings of the mine that I will build in O scale.

I will measure the space available and make alterations where needed.

Now I'll have to buy a LOT of wood!
What will fuel the boilers? Where and how will the fuel get to the boilers? And where will the ashes go?
Just some thoughts as you work through the model on location.

Nice drawings, Gaffen.
Yes a LOT of wood!
Cheers, Mark.

I think oil burners are the way to go, and it gives me an excuse for some oil tank cars.... 8)
Graffen,
That is a really neat looking structure !

Hey Graffen:
Great pictures and drawings. Can't wait to see what you do with this.

And an oil unloading facility (even if it's just a hose and a pumphouse), but you'll probably need an oil storage tank, too.
