Thank you for adding Mining to this forum:thumb:
So many of us have a mine, or mine related, industry on our layouts. I do.....but I must confess that I don't know enough about how they worked and all that went into getting the coal from the ground and to the customer. Hopefully, some knowledgable person or persons, will help to fill in the blanks as questions are asked:winker:.
I will start off sharing some resources for coal mining
