Coal mine Blueprints??

[NW Modeling List]

Hi!
I need some help! I have spent most of the past 2 Saturdays searching the  
net for Blueprints for a West Virginia style mine. I am building a large 
model  railroad based on the Pocahontas Division From Williamson to Bluefield. 
I have  the track charts for the division and it names a number of mines. 
However I have  come to face the fact that trying to model each and every mine 
accurately would  probably eat up 2 - 3 lifetimes just doing the research! 
LOL SO along that trend  of thought I have decided to model a few as close 
as possible and the rest will  be based on practices of the time. 
I am looking for a book, set of articles, web based site I may not have  
found that has a mine broken down into it's basic components. Then of course I 
 need some key dimensions like how high the floor is above the rails.  
Picking table and screen arrangements. If I wanted to build a Colorado mine a  
lot of this is on the net but so far WV has been a bust. Any one have any  
insights please share them with me!
Thanks in advance!
