COAL TIPPLES

[NW Modeling List]

Thanks Cal.  That sounds workable.  FYI, since my skills probably aren't close to kitbashing yet, I took another look at how my "coal mine" would be laid out.  I really liked that BTS kit and wanted to try and make it work.  Well, after a couple of hours and moving things around a bit I found a place for it!  Answer was to get a bigger shoehorn or as we said in the Army, a bigger hammer.
 
As soon as home six confirms purchase requisition it will be on its way to Alpharetta, GA.
 
I've also found the MR book on Coal Railroading a big help.

Ed I took the Walthers New River Coal Mine kit and bashed it. With a little imagination I got two loadouts and extra building sized to the space I had. I looked at the Mill Creek kit and decided to stay with what I had.  Some of my ideas came from books on the Clinchfield, C&O and Interstate. Hope this helps. Cal Reynolds.

I assume you're in HO.  I'd like to pose the same question for N-Scale -- single track tipples?

Happy Thanksgiving all!
 
While trying to digest all that turkey I was happily perusing the October 2010 MR and saw an ad for the "Mill Creek Coal & Coke Tipple No.2".  Wow!  What a fantastic kit.  HOWEVER (and there's always a "however") it's a tad too big for the spot I have for a coal mine.
 
Anybody know of a kit for a single-track tipple that you've liked?
 
If you got the room, the BTS kit looks like a winner but a little too big to shoehorn in.
 
Thanks.
