Anyone ever seen one of these?:

It looks like a really nice accessory, perhaps even worthy of a scale pike (gasp!).

I have never seen one but according to the link on OGR it was Produced in 2005 for the Kline Collectors Club for $60 plus shipping.

I didn't realize it was a Collector's Club item. A hundred-fifty bucks seems steep, but then there probably weren't too many made.

On the link you provided there are about 20 pictures of this item. you just have to find them.

I downloaded all the pictures so I could look at them full size. It looks like this thing is made out of wood. kind of looks like someones homemade craft project. It does look interesting, I just don't know how good it is. it look like there is is band attached to the saw arbor so I guess that it is operational ?

We had one of these on our layout at the club Its a really cool accessory Somebody donated a carftsman kit sawmill that took its place Only reason its gone We got 75 bucks for it used with no boxes

Thanks for that. It confirms my suspicion that tracking one down would be tough.

I don't know if you have seen the actual pictures of this saw mill. But with your skill at making buildings and those tunnels you could easily make one.

I will try to link to a couple of the pictures.....

Looking at those pics, I can see this really is a craft-style kit with wood components and various other bits. Pretty interesting; wouldn’t have guessed that given its K-Line origins.

Unlikely to go in any direction. I can't see this in a tinplate setting

K line made some of the best stuff ever. Their passenger cars beat anything available on today’s market with the exception of 3rd rail.

Maybe, but it would give you something constructive to do instead of shoveling snow this winter!
