Next up: the timber retaining wall for the Penrose mine.

Leadville had several mines "in town,"  notably the Cornado (NE of the C&S depot and served by the D&RG) and the Penrose (which I believe was south of the depot and served by the LMB). The Penrose is in the background of photos of the last passenger trains on a hill to the south. I suspect it was shut down by the late 30s.

I need a visual foil to distract the eye from a very real sewer pipe just south of my Leadville depot. So instead of the nice wood frame home, the Penrose will serve the purpose. It also has a spur sk will generate revenue,  a bonus!

I found inexpensive wood dowels at Michael's, and some work with a sanding drum chucked in the Dremel resulted in lots of Lincoln log parts.
