K-Line K-42450 Sawmill

Postby healey36 » Sun Oct 23, 2022 12:36 pm

Anyone ever seen one of these?:

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

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 ?

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 :lol:

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!
