There was a time when water-powered mills dotted the American
landscape. These mills were erected to grind grain into flour and
meal and to operate many kinds of machinery for the woodworking, iron
making, textile and other businesses. A few of these early mills are
operating today with modern turbines, that are turning the same
ancient machinery. Some mills were abandoned, turned into historical
landmarks or purchased by individuals for their own business. Such is
the case with the 9-1/2" x 11-1/2" masterpiece shown here.
Supposedly, it was an old grist mill that was bought at a very cheap
price by Elijah Roth for his tool making, logging, painting and
carpentry business. As business grew, rail service was added. It's a
pure craftsman type kit that builds into a stunning diorama with over
100 precision metal castings. One of the nice features is the
underground stream that turns the wheel; the diorama doesn't have to
be placed next to a body of water. Lend an air of enchantment to your
model railroad with this beautiful rural, trackside industry.
Only 600 will be made, so order from us now. Mid November release date.
