I think this was mentioned in another thread sometime last year, but a heads up that this is out:

Good news for me as I can't have too many coal mines lol.

Looks like the windows were improved over the ones on the NewRiver mine, unless those are HO photos.

I remember reading that they sit around walthers with all the kit parts and try to fit them together into something new  ... this looks like good kitbashing

Just purchased one of these and the Doughnut Hole kit.  Both are nice.  I was under the impression that this was a modification on the older New River Mine with a few different parts.  I have not found any of the parts to match those from the New River Mine kit.  Also found it amusing that apparently the Chinese do not understand the copyright info.  Both kits say "copyright 2000".

These stories crack me up.
