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:

Re: The Duke Finsihes a Lumber Mill
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!

That's really neat, Mark! 
What a cool little model, and a great tribute to your grandfather too!

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!"..
