The Duke Finsihes a Lumber Mill
I'm not sure where else to put this, so I'm posting it here. This is an ancient Atlas HO/OO scale Lumber Mill that I built in tribute to my grandfather who owned one during WWII which kept him out of the service:

Thank you Blacksheep! Yes, this is a railroad layout building for an HO scale railroad. I just had to build it since my grandfather owned a Lumber Mill.

Re: The Duke Finsihes a Lumber Mill
Thank you Mike! Now to find a replacement for my Blacksmith shop that I lost some years back.
Thank you Remco! I thought so too, it's only right to honor those who couldn't fight but contributed in other ways.
Thank you Blacksheep! Yes I could while I was building this!

Re: The Duke Finsihes a Lumber Mill
That's really neat, Mark!
What a cool little model, and a great tribute to your grandfather too! 
Re: The Duke Finsihes a Lumber Mill
Neat stuff!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
