Colorado Gold Mine - T Scale 1:450 - Theresa Mine Model

Description: COLORDO GOLD MINE! Theresa Mine Model T Scale 1:450 - No Assembly Required!This is a 3D Print of the Theresa Gold Mine in T Scale. Please see the pictures and review dimensions. The model is designed to be compatible with T-Scale model trains with track running underneath, providing a convenient way to drop ore in a train. Clearances might be a little tight with some trains though. It will look great cosmetically even if you decide not to run anything underneath it. If you want to run trains underneath the mine, you may want to consider our "ZZ 1:300" size of this model as it is modeled slightly larger to provide better clearance for rail cars. The T scale mine is modeled to scale but the rail system used was narrow gauge, so tolerances are tight. The model's footprint is 41mm long x 35mm wide and it stands 54mm tall.The Train Passage is 7.5mm wide x 11.5mm tall.This will certainly make a nice addition to someone's layout or diorama.A little about the mineThe elevated platform served as a way to carry waste rock away from the mine after being sorted. Workers would climb the support onto the platform to then get inside the building.The model is based off the real-life Theresa Mine located near Victor Colorado. The steel structure you see was built in 1934 after a fire burnt down most the above original ground structures.The mine produced 120,000 ounces of gold worth about $155 million at today's prices. The shaft was eventually over 1500 feet deep. You can take a hike and stand right next to the structure today.
