THE "GOLDEN MONARCH MINE"
THE MONARCH Mill & Mining Company - is the name of the fictional company of my new series of structures. The company had a real good name in the gold mining business. The company was founded in the early 1890s in the area of Silverton, Colorado, America. Several structures are included to the company which had the goal to increase their production of highest quality gold at the turnover to the 19th century.
The gold mine of the Monarch Mill & Mining Company was called the "Golden Monarch Mine" was loacated in the highlands of Silverton. It was a huge wooden structure with rails going inside the highlands. It was the main building and the mainstay of the company. All the valuable mineral was mined in this mine and transported to the mills and further processing structures.
The model of the "Golden Monarch Mine" is CAD designed and bases loosely on several real structures and other models found on the internet, combined and modifed to one huge building. The CAD drawing in laser-cut in 2mm MDF-board. The laser-cut windows are made by Rail-Scale Models in the USA. All the walls and roofs are boarded with fine stripwood and milled wooden boards. Stripwood is also used for the walkways, details, pillars and rails. The smokestack is made of plastic, details at the structure and scenery are made of resin and white metal.
