The Coal Mine




I finally found the time to start work on the coal mine and finish the coal yard and surrounding buildings.
Like the backdrop buildings, the coal mine is kitbashed from about 6 Lionel Coal Tipple kits and lit with the same amber Led lighting that I have been using in all of my new structures.
The company houses are heavily modified Lionel freight shed kits, and the passenger station is a kit bashed Lionel Rico Station.
The frieght shed is a kit bashed Walthers Feed and grain kit.
Again, everything has the same style Led lighting.
I am still using small incandescent lamps for exterior lighting, as I have not had any success in wiring the led's into the lamp shades. The leads on the Leds just get in the way and make it impractical.
