Smelter Town was a section of El Paso adjacent the former Asarco Copper Refinery. This 2 x 4 foot layout is loosely based on downtown El Paso circa 1955. San Jancinto Park in downtown El Paso used to have live alligators. This one is about to eat the young lady with her back turned. The Ferris Wheel works.

Many happy hours and many train shows Smelter Town performed. Named after a section of
El Paso known by that name, in the shadow of the Asarco Copper Smelter. There was a move
to reopen the plant, but a small but determined ecologically minded group helped discourage
its resurgence. So Asarco knocked it down and moved the plant to Bolivia, where there are
no ecological laws, and they can dump and smoke to their hearts' content.
