Elvas Tower: Elkton Mine Power House 1910 - Elvas Tower

Elkton Mine Power House

Elkton, Colorado

1912

This is a large Power House that was part of the Elkton Mine owned and operated by the Elkton Consolidated Mining and Mineral Company. This structure and the stacks connected to it housed the steam driven generators and machinery to run the mine lifts and other machinery. The steam was delivered directly to the Engine House next to this structure at the mine complex.

This structure is part of a set that makes up the entire Elkton Mine as it was in 1912 located at Elkton Colorado. This was a very large mine with many levels and the main shaft had been completely built in by this date and included a full ore house, power house, engine house and several main shafts and extensive out buildings.

This model is based on historic photos and careful research carried out by me for many months. Some of the textures were sourced from research by Linda Irene Tingvik with her kind permission, others are from historic Colorado Structures from the period.

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.
