Layout 1 - Steam: Adding a Coal Mine

So this weekend I decided to work on my first layout.I needed to figure out a way to get a coal mine into the layout, and I wasn't liking the idea of running cart tracks across the entire layout. I decided the best way to do it would be to add a small mount in the middle of the layout and create a mine entrance into the side of it. I carved the base of the mound out of foam and made the tunnel entrance out of a cardboard box to see what things were going to look like.


Here's a snapshot


The entrance would be made out of boxwood just like the tunnel portals. I'm planning on getting ahold of some wood supplies this week to start my work.
