YANKEE GIRL G SCALE GOLD OR SILVER MINE SET Modeled loosely after The Yankee Girl Mine near Ouray, (we scaled it down just a tad) this fully assembled, weather resistant Colorado style mining operation is built to approximately 1:24 scale. It could also work well with slightly larger or smaller scales such as 1:20.3, 1:29, the old American Flyer wide gauge, or the Lionel, Marx and MTH standard gauges. This mine would also make a great addition to your Franklin Mint, Danbury Mint, or 1:24 diecast car and truck display. The head frame/ ore house of the mine has a footprint that’s about 18″ wide X 28″ long and it stands about 23 1/2 tall. The hoist shed is about 6 1/2″ X 7 1/2″ and it stands about 7 tall. Built from solid Western Red Cedar, these naturally rot, insect, and weather resistant structures have been assembled using galvanized fasteners and waterproof adhesives throughout. The exterior has also been saturated with exterior penetrating stain to seal and protect them from the elements. The corrugated aluminum roofs won’t rust, shed water like a duck, and have been painted for the look of rusted and galvanized steel. Windows have acrylic window panes and all doors are fixed in place. Open base design allows structure interiors to be easily lit, if desired. Perfect for diesel or steam layouts of any era. This set consists of the head frame building, hoist house, 1 – length of cable to run between them, 2 – 16 pcs of S scale tin plate track, 1 – pallet, 2 – gears, 2 – benches, 1 – barrel and 2 – crates. All other G scale automobiles, train, track, scenery, figures, buildings, and accessories are shown for scale only, and are not included. This structure is not recommended for use as a toy by small children, or for outdoor use in extreme weather conditions. Be sure to check out our other items for more buildings. We’ll be adding more designs soon!
