saw mills

It is a bit small and I wish you luck.  You may have to modify or custom build a saw mill to fit such a footprint, but it would be worth it.  Good luck with it.

 

Good advice from Lee[above] for customizing to the space you have:

 

Mine is a small Frick Sawmill sold by Fox River years ago. I elected to close up a triangular access corner and install the mill with a mountain [of sorts] as a background filler in the sharp corner behind it.

 

The log car on the spur exiting the fake tunnel [to the deep woods] and delivering logs to the Mill was borrowed from my Shay set. A bulkhead lumber car is also normally up-track on the spur. The spur exits the outer mainline via an 096 curved switch.

 

The sawdust is from the farm shop's table saw and a coat is simply glued over a foam profile. Every thing including the mountain and tunnel portal is placed with Velcro and removable. 

 

Job started in 2011 but health issues intervened and stopped work.

 

 

 

 

 

My Dad worked at a small portable mill that could be moved by a semi. They built a pole building around it on three sides. You might be able something like that.   You could also do this

Very nice Dewey.....I especially like the use of the faux tunnel to simulate the track going into the deep woods.  Nice vignette overall!

The KLine operating saw mill K42450 looks like it might fit. The dimensions are listed as 

I like the k-line saw mill it looks nice,but i may have to  scratch build something as Lee & Dewey have suggested,here are a few pictures of the space i have,there isn't any room to put in a siding for the mill the tracks that are there are from the main line,i do have a larger area,but i wanted to put some town buildings there,i will have take another look & see if i want to make any more changes,it seems that even when you think you have everything down pat,another idea comes into your head & the hunt for more space begins again.I could extend the area to where the drill is,that would give me a little more space.

What is the radius of the curves in that area?  I have a super nice craftsman style sawmill I built that may fit in there.  I may sell it if you are interested.  Right now it's just collecting dust under my bed.

William 1,The radius is 060,can you post any pictures for me so i can decide if thats what i am looking for?      Thanks,   Jerry

I like the caboose you are running behind the log cars. Are you going to custom paint it to match?

 

High  Mark,i was very pleased with the caboose,it was much nicer than i expected as far as painting it is concerned,i lke the color,but i would like to remove the name Pennsylvania on both sides  & put Meadow River Lumber Co. instead,i still have the name you gave me for the person to do that,but i don't know if she can do it without painting the whole caboose,i will have to give her a call & find out.
