The Wentamuck Mine

The Wentamuck Mine Our Wentamuck Mine is based on the many small gold and silver mines which sprang up in the Rockies and the Sierra anywhere from the 1870’s to the 1950’s.  These were typically two or three-man operations.  The older mines usually included a steam hoist which raised and lowered the ore bucket inside the shaft and the ore cars were “man” powered.  The kit contains the following:  a hoist house with a lean-to coal bin, an outhouse, a head frame with a sheave and ore bucket, mine collar with a ventilator shaft and diversion chute, mine track and a mine car, steel barrels and cribbing.  Windows and doors for the hoist house are separately molded for ease in glazing and painting.  Although there are many different ways to arrange the components of our mine, it will fit in a 5″ x 9″ footprint. — Product No. 5902 — Quantity:1 — Exterior Measurement: NA — Fits Within: NA — Additional Notes: Products may contain small parts and should be kept safely away from small children.
