Elvas Tower: Portland Mine Short Tramway 1907 - Elvas Tower

Portland Mine Short Tram

It connected the base of the Shaft 1 Tower to Ore House 1 at the upper level of the Lower complex

Victor, Colorado
1909

This was the short tram that fed ore from the Shaft no. 1 to the Ore house number 1. This model is based on photographs and the Sandborn Insurance map of that date.

This series could not have been done without extensive reserach and the help of colleagues in the Historical research field of the early mines of Colorado especialy including Linda Irene Tingvik with her kind permission, she also shared the historic Sandborn insurance maps that allows the creation of this complex

This model includes night and snow textures. It is medium poly so can be used for both MSTS and Open Rails.

Rights and Restrictions: you may freely use, rework and repaint this model, TSM source files is included. The only restriction is that this model may not be sold or used in commercial pay ware without my express permission. You can reach me at the e mail below. It may also be converted to Railworks, Trainz or any other sim format I would appreciate notice and a copy of your finished work.

Installation:
Place the shape and texture files into your route folders and add the ref entry to your ref list. I use the 257 texture setting so that this will correctly display both snow and night textures.
