Elvas Tower: Hall Tunnel Mine Entrance - Elvas Tower

Hall Tunnel Mine Entrance. This model goes underneath the Hall Tunnel Mine and the train bridge went in front and behind the Mine building. Located on the Colorado & Southern Railroad in Colorado. The mine was located between the Georgetown Loop & Silverplume, CO.
Information for the model was gathered from “Colorado Central Golden, Central City, Georgetown,” by Abbott, MCCoy, and MCleod pages 363, 375.
This model is a best guess and if you have any information on this model or we have missed something please let us know.

****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 for the model and provided reference material,Chris Gerlach for permission to use some of his textures, & Brian Kistner for texture work and overall editing of the model.****
