produced. The design is for a tipple that was used as a truck
dump for a very large strip mine, but with very little effort it
can be changed into one that is serviced by mine cars with just
the addition of some track and then letting it disappear into
the backdrop.
The second finished tipple is the Martinsburg tipple by
American Model Builders. This is a small shaft tipple that
served by both the railroad and trucks.
The other two tipples that are under construction are the Joller
tipple from the East Broad Top (“Modeling Miller Coal Company’s
Joller Facilities, Part I, Part II, and Part III,
”Timber Transfer,
Volumes
13, Numbers 2, 3 and 4, 1996-97 by Ron Pearson), and the
White Rapids tipple that was built in a series of articles in
Model
10: End of Martinsburg tipple showing the run out trestle.
Across from it is the open end of the garage. A corru-
gated blacksmith shop will be added in the near future. It
is also from the Jack Work articles.
