Our Silver Spur Mine was modeled from drawings of a silver mine in Leadville, Colorado by Joe Crea, published in the Slim Gauge News (December 1972, starting on page 24) and is typical of mines throughout the west. The main building, or Shaft house, protected personnel and equipment while the Head Frame guided the cable from the sheave in the Hoist house. Products from the shaft would go to the waste dump or the Tipple.

This handsome kit is constructed mostly of our corrugated aluminum over cardstock walls with the Shaft House Shed, Tunnel, Tipple, and Forge Shed of precision milled, grooved wood siding and the towering Head Frame of strong wood timbers. As always the doors, windows, and Smoke Jack are of finely molded plastic as are the Cable Wheel, Pillow and Bearing Blacks, Sprocket and Sheave for the mechanics of the structure. Also included is some of our tiny Black Chain to rotate the Sprocket to hoist the Chute Door.

This kit was introduced by Campbell Scale Models back in June 1974.

A simple kit to construct with easy to follow instructions and full-sized template drawings of all buildings makes it a good kit for the novice or experienced modeler.
