Description: During the first two decades of the 1900s, Thurmond was a classic boomtown. Huge amounts of coal flowed into Thurmond from the area mines. This made Thurmond the largest revenue generator on the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway. Having many coal barons among its patrons, Thurmond's banks were the richest in the state. Fifteen passenger trains a day came through town. The depot served as many as 75,000 passengers a year. With so many visitors, the hotels and boarding houses were always overflowing. The town's stores and saloons did remarkable business. But with the switch to diesel locomotives and the closing of local mines, the town began a steady decline. The many businesses closed down, and most residents moved on. I decided to design and 3D print these beautiful buildings after a good friend of mine asked me to make them for him. Here is the Coaling Tower which is just on the edge of the business district. The kit is printed in 1/8" thick walls, so its sturdy and easy to put together. This building is big! It is 4" x 6" x 10 1/2 ", the tunnel is 4" high from floor. I am including the stairs and covers for the chutes and 2 doors. Check out the rest of the Thurmond West Virginia buildings listed at my store and collect the set.
