The Mogollon Railroad

[nachoman]

My intent is to represent various southern arizona Copper mining towns circa 1915-1925. "Mogollon" is the name of a prehistoric, native people that lived in what is now Eastern Arizona and Western New Mexico. You are correct about the staircase - it is prohibitive. Being that it is a white metal casting, it would be difficult to alter. Many arizona mining towns were situated in some very steep, rugged locations, and buildings were seldom side-by-side. The town of Morenci, which I am attempting to emulate was especially steep and rugged, with many buildings accessible by only boot or hoof. My goal is not to emulate Morenci, but to capture the feel of buildings perched along the hillside.
