Slate mining

I have chosen the slate quarry mining industry for my cakebox challenge. The cakebox will have a low relief quarry building, a length of 009 Peco track and a slate quarry wagons. There will be foliage and ground cover with the cakebox.:)

Forgive me for being pedantic here, but as I live surrounded by hundreds of thousands of tons of the stuff, we call them quarries!!

 

Good luck with your project. More often than not its just a quick trip up the road to see the real thing!!  

 

Ha, nice one Martin!

 

A lot of people think 'mine' = tunnelled, sub surface working  - while a 'quarry' is open cast.  However I believe they originate, and so the 'proper' use of the terms, are mining minerals (eg coal, iron ore, etc) and quarrying rock/stone.  However there are plenty of historical records, and companies, which confused the two.
