Afternoon All,

Thank you Tom, Dave, Jerry, Mike, Philip, and Greg for following along and your kind words.

Dave, yes the operator has easy access to the bell.🙂

Today I was doing basic fitting on the diorama along with exterior steps next to the hoist house.

I'm trying to remember where I saw a hoist house layout, including the bell and signal sign.  Maybe the Copper Queen Museum at Bisbee, AZ?

The mine is looking great, Curt!

Cheers, Mark.

Curt,

The heavy timbers that make up the mine are just what you'd expect with hard rock mining.  Quite an impressive complex, more for the realism than size.

Afternoon All,

Thank you Dave, Mark, Mike, Larry, Rick, Philip, Ron, and Jerry for following along and your kind works.

This is the last update before going on vacation.

Today I built the frame for the open sided shed that the horizontal boiler sits in.

Everything about this was fiddly and more than a few cross words were spoken!🙄
