Ore Tram Buckets -F/G scale kit #8092

These kits are 3D printed resin and easy to build. The F/G kit (top) represents a 3 foot wide bucket. Ore buckets came in a variety of sizes from 3 foot wide to 6 ft and larger. 

Our research included the many RGS books, the Mineral Belt Series and the Rainbow Route all published by Sundance Publications. The variety of ore buckets is considerable when you look at the mines in Colorado you would think that maybe 2 or 3 types were actually used but we found more than 10 different types. Further research into the Colorado School of Mines was  done though the material they have is immense. The design came from a drawing in an old mine supply catalogue.
