Danby Sawmill Page

Keystone Locomotive Works - Danby sawmill (craftsman kit)  Finished Feb. 25, 2005   

Extra side sheds and additions, scratch built. I have since sold this mill and will be building a larger sawmill that will work better with the layout plan and will reside in the valley of my mountain end of the layout.

This mill I hope to begin construction on in Feb. 2006 which is the B.T.S. " Coon Gap Sawmill" here are a couple photos of what it looks like from the directions booklet

Kit started Jan. 29 2005

 I drilled out the door grate on the boiler and put a flickering flame light inside
