I really like #9. However, they are not "scattered around," but deliberately positioned.
Ah...darn semantics...but, you are correct...I'll rephrase to "strategically placed"!!

Wonderful set, Jim. Love seeing all of the mining contraptions. Reading the clutch daily adjustment instructions brought home why mining was such a dangerous occupation.

In my previous Bayhorse post I mentioned the old mining equipment scattered around. For you fans of these relics of the past, here are some images of a few of them.
Fantastic set!!! Jim

Interesting equipment. I'm still trying to figure the make of that engine. The compressor must really move a lot of high pressure air.

It would help to order parts. I'm sure there is someone on UHH, who knows.

Great series, Jim, it's a shame that all that equipment went to waste.
