Joh Bate builds an N scale mine

WMRC president John Bate brought in this N scale model of a mine to the club's monthly model display at our last meeting, which was held at the Charleswood Legion on March 14. The structure, which John says is a work in progress, was a Walthers kit which he painted a flat aluminum with an airbrush.
