  Cal, and anyone else.
  That New River Mine is a very popular and bashable kit.  I have a few, and am looking for ideas to bash or modify them so that they don't all look alike.
  I suspect I'm not alone.
  Pictures of variations on that kit, alone or in combination with other kits, would be welcome.

    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.

      Ed -

      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.
