Next Page  New Topic |    New Poll |   Reply to Topic |   Printer Friendly Author Topic Page: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 of 11 LURP DOG Section Hand Posted - 10/19/2010 :  07:59:56 AM     I am in need of a small backwoods looking sawmill and was wondering how good the Keystone Danby Sawmill is. Anyone built this kit and if so how is it? Any other options/kits available? THANX Country: | Posts: 76 Geezer Fireman Premium Member Posted - 10/19/2010 :  08:23:41 AM     The Danby Sawmill is a neatkit if you want a small mill. I had one, and it is full of white metal details.... Pretty good instructions as well...I see them on greedbay every so often.

Sierra West has their mill coming out ands they have a sawmill machinery package that runs about $500. plus what the mill kit will cost with all the strip wood and casting and other goodies from Brett. Ketstone's mill is less expensive but hard to find sometimes.

Maybe someone in the forum has one on the shelf there not going to use. Tom Country: USA | Posts: 1056 hon3_rr Fireman Premium Member Posted - 10/19/2010 :  11:50:49 AM     In addition to Brett's kit, which is going to create a wonderful diorama/scene, there is Western Scale Models sawmill parts which you may want to use to put together a small mill of your own design. --KP Life is to short to make all of the models I want to.

Jan Country: USA | Posts: 749 LURP DOG Section Hand Posted - 10/19/2010 :  12:59:38 PM     THANX 2 all for the info! My little layout will be 24" x 48" with the sawmill in the middle with 2 sidings at the mill. I saw a layout like I've described on the web and will try to copy it to a certain degree. He too used a Danby mill but couldn't see all the details really good. I will use a 0-4-2 porter and a few SMALL log cars on the layout. So as you can tell the sawmill will have to be REAL small but I want some details in as well. Country: | Posts: 76 BBLmber Fireman Posted - 10/19/2010 :  5:19:59 PM     For that size the Danby would be the way to go. Start looking on E-Bay as of right now I think they are out of production or only made once in a while. Mark W,L,&E Country: USA | Posts: 4227 LURP DOG Section Hand Posted - 10/20/2010 :  3:50:01 PM     Boy it's looking like finding a Danby kit will be REALLY hard. Anyone know where I can locate one besides Ebay or have any other suggestions as to making a small sawmill? THANX Country: | Posts: 76 Locoman Fireman Premium Member Posted - 10/20/2010 :  4:29:07 PM     Hi here is a link, but don't know if it is in stock. They have both the Danby and Lucas sallmills.

Try calling or emailing him: http://www.crusaderrail.com/contact.html He'll probably be at Allen Littlefield's meet in New York this weekend, so allow extra time for a response if you don't reach him today.

All of the auctions Geezer listed are for the HO SCALE version ... since you've posted in the On30 section, I'm guessing that you really want the O scale version. Again, try Ray after the weekend.
