This thread is great!  Came across it researching for ideas as I'm considering re-entering the hobby after 25 years or so.  My grandfather and great-grandfather worked in coal mines and dispatch yards near Fairmont and Grant Town, WVa.  I now know what kit I'll be buying for my first project if I get back into this again. If anyone else is interested, I have found a website with some great photos of coal mines, coal mining and coal towns of that area: http://community-2.webtv.net/DizHarris/SHINBRIERALMOST/page4.html For example, here's a great photo for some weathering ideas: http://spec.lib.vt.edu/imagebase_new/norfolksouthern/full/nw1462.jpg
