Title: head house
Post by: SteamGene on March 04, 2008, 04:23:57 PM
Anybody have an idea for a good structure to use for a mine headhouse? I think I have room for one of the tipples to have a headhouse.

Do you have the Walther's catalog?  Several good ones, I have a few pictures if you need them. One is a tall tipple #933-3089, conveyor available separately.

Bob,
I have tipples.  But, IIUC, the coal came out of the head house to the tipple and thence to rail cars or trucks.

Gene....perhaps one of these? Did a search for "mine" on Walthers.

That one is also a Model Power kit I believe.

Now where were those when I was looking for a small tipple?  Oh well.  Thanks.

I agree, Gene....that was the reason I didn't link it for you in my post.....some of those kits just cannot be "Americanized".
