Elvas Tower: CM Basalt Hotel - Elvas Tower

Colorado Midland Basalt Hotel located in Basalt, Colorado.
Information for the model gathered from “Colorado Midland Railway Daylight Through the Divide,” by Dan Abbott pages 288-293.
This model is a best guess of what the structure looked like during the time period of the railroad. The Structure still stands today as Tempranillo Restaurant
165 Midland Avenue Basalt, Colorado 81621.

The building has been quite modified since the Midland Railway days.
This model is a best guess and if you have better information on the structure/model please share with us.

****NOTE!!!**** Model has been tested in both MSTS and Open Rails. Some users may experience texture issues if run in MSTS with settings above default. Further tests have also showed some models behave differently pending on MSTS settings. For best results using MSTS only, settings may require further adjustment. There are no issues when Open Rails is used. We suggest (BUT NOT REQUIRED) using Open Rails for best results.

****Special thanks to Jerome Cress who had the idea and did the initial construction for the model and provided reference materials,Chris Gerlach for permission to use some of his textures, Brian Kistner for texture work and overall editing of the model, and David Nelson for his design input.****

Source model included.
