my mining diorama
Posted by altterrain on Sunday, March 29, 2009 4:18 PM

Here are a few daylight pics of my mining diorama I brought up to ECLSTS.

Its a dual gauge 1/24 scale with a 42 inch ore train and a 15 inch mine tram. The mine tram ran in and out of the tunnel automatically on a 30 second cycle.

Looking good, but like Vic said, it'l never be finished.  BTW, is that a bicycle I see parked in the cutout?

No just some wires to the track hooked up to the auto reverse unit I put together -
