Coal Mining Layout

[NW Modeling List]

Regardless of langauge, this is a extraordinarily well done layout.  Congratulations to Michael and Co. on their fine display of the craft.  The noteriety is well deserved.

Not to be picky but it is

Schon, Schon, Alles ist Schon.

Also there should be an umlaut(the two horizontal dots) over the "O" in schon.

>>Dear members,

>>

>>we (a friend and me) made a modular HO-scale coal mining layout for presenting on model exhibitions here in Germany. It features a tipple from which hoppers are actually loaded with crushed coal and  three company houses and a company store to represent a mining town. We tried to capture the landscape of  West Virginia by modeling mountains thickly covered with forest and a hand painted backdrop. 

>>We operate N&W stam locos and meanwhile some diesels and we run coaltrains up to 40 loaded hoppers with  helper  service. The layout was already presentet in some modeling magazines in Germany and Switzerland.

>>Recently I was informed by a friend, that there are a few clips on Youtube, which were made during an exhibition at Adliswil near Zurich in Switzerland in 2006. I'd like to share them with you:  

>>13th Convention Adliswil 2006 volume 2 , volume 3 and 4.
