Elvas Tower: Portland Mine General Offices 1907 - Elvas Tower

Portland Mine Company General Offices

Located near the main Shaft No. 1 and just above Ore House No. 1 and the Warehouse.

Victor, Colorado

1907

This was the Mine Company Offices located at the center of the lower complex of the Portland Mine around 1907. This was the largest of the mines in the region and developed over the years into a very successful venture that later on included all of the resources of the Independence Mine and Mill next to it. This ore house was fed by 3 internal graviy feed chutes and the delivery chutes at trackside were hidden behind normal looking windows, a unique arrangement.

This series could not have been done without extensive research 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.
