I think I caught a glimpse of a sawmill somewhere. I'm looking for a small backwoods-est sawmill for my layout. Could you post some pics of yours or some dimensions. If you like I'm always open for email. Keep up the great work!!!!! Mike Reuter Country: USA | Posts: 92 Hopeless Fireman Posted - 09/10/2010 :  6:19:46 PM     Hi All, It's been a while but I have managed to get something done. I have "planted" the engine house, watertank and blacksmith shop. I have named each area of the layout after one of our dogs. This area is called Sarah's Point. At this point there is no sawmill, only a mockup. I'm trying to justify the cost of a SW sawmill kit, but can't do it.

I just finished reading through all five pages. What a fantastic layout you have going there. I'm not at all surprised as I've seen the work you do with your structures. You have both the talent and an eye for color and detail. I fully expect to see this layout featured in one of the modeling magazines. You mentioned you could not justify the cost of a sawmill kit. With your talents who needs to buy any kit, simply scratch build one. Keep up the great work and keep the pictures coming. Michael Country: USA | Posts: 663 BBLmber Fireman Posted - 09/10/2010 :  11:55:46 PM     Roland, you can buy the saw mill machinary from SW and Brett is offering a plan packet where you supply the wood and he supplies the plans and details and hardware. That would be a cheaper way to go, or just the machinary and you design the building.

Happy to see this thread back in action and to see that fabulous EH find a home.

Troels Kirk Näsum, Sweden Country: Sweden | Posts: 4888 danpickard Fireman Posted - 09/11/2010 :  02:31:00 AM       Hi Roland, The engine house looks great at the end there, a certain focal point upon entry to the room. Given the quality of your recent builds, I don't doubt you would manage a scratchbuild of the sawmill just fine. The set of sawmill machinery (ex-CHB gear) from Brett would be a very worth while addition though. Depending on the size of the mill as well, you may not need all the different items to complete the model. Do you have any copies of the Finescale Annuals? There was a chapter on the mill that Marty (Labdad) built, and is the basis for the Sierra West future kit. The chapter had plenty of photos and drawings that would help in building a similar version.

Country: USA | Posts: 1570 Sully Fireman Premium Member Posted - 09/11/2010 :  09:19:33 AM       Roland...just catching up on your beautiful railway....(I sent you a PM)....tom Country: USA | Posts: 2667 Rick Administrator Premium Member Posted - 09/11/2010 :  10:00:18 AM     WOW!!! What a great job you're doing on your layout. Thanks for the pictures and it should be in a magazine so more could see it. As you think, so will you be. Country: USA | Posts: 21792 Hopeless Fireman Posted - 09/11/2010 :  8:37:30 PM     Thanks for all the comments. I am always amazed that a little dirt can change everything. As I mentioned sections of the layout are named after our dogs (past and present}. The other night while looking through an old book called "Ghost Towns of the West" I came across a town called Barkerville. The name seemed to fit, and a search on the computer turned up 155 pages of photos. As space is quite limited, I trying to figure out how to model it. Need to get it in my head, then I'll start.. Roland Country: USA | Posts: 1800 Oh_Mr_Porter Engine Wiper Posted - 09/12/2010 :  09:12:07 AM     Roland, I have to agree with Dan, with your modelling skills a scratchbuilt sawmill filled with SWM equipment should present you few problems. And you can design it to fit exactly in the space you have available. Great modelling all round Ian "The next train's gone" Country: United Kingdom | Posts: 236 Page: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 of 76 Topic    New Topic |    New Poll |   Reply to Topic |  Previous Page | Next Page Jump To: Select Forum Railroad Line Administrative Forums       Forum News       Administrative Posts General Forums       WorkShops, Garage, Machines and Tools       The Tour Bus       The Arrival Track       RR-L Member Personal Websites       The Crew Lounge       The Classroom       Interchange Tracks       Rail Events       Reference & Research Model Railroad Forums       The Sn3 Branch       Mike Chambers' Craftsman's Corner       HOn30 and HOn3 Forum       Early Rail Forum       Dead Rail Forum       The On30 Line       Railroad Photography Forum       Small Scale Model Railroad Forum       Mid Scale Model Railroad Forum       Large Scale Model Railroad Forum       Logging, Mining, & Narrow minded       Model Railroad Construction       Micro & Mini Layouts       Layout Design / Operation Sig Forum       Startin' from Scratch       DCC, Computers and Electronics for Model Railroads Shop Talk       Vehicle and Non-Rail Transportation Modeling       The Steam Shop       The Roundhouse       Rolling Stock: the Car Shops       The Diesel Shop Company Store       Railroad-Line Swap Meet       New Product Announcements Fallen Flag Railroad Forums       Erie / Lackawanna Railroad Forum       Raritan River Railroad Forum Railroad Software Forums       Atlas Right Track Software       Railroad Line Software Library Model Railroad Club Forums       The Model Railroad Club Forum Sponsor Forums       Rusty Stumps Scale Models       KingMill Enterprises Railroad Line Weblinks       Badger Creek Lumber Co.       Central Missouri & Southern RR       Raritan River Railroad       Thor's All Gauge Page  -------------------- Home Active Topics Frequently Asked Questions Member Information Search Page Railroad Line Forums © 2000-17 Railroad Line Co.
