Starr Creek Sawmill

[sdrees]

Frank/Erieman twisted my arm to put pictures of my model on this forum.  I won the Best in Show at the PSR Convention in Scottsdale this weekend along with the Favorite Model Award and Presidents Award.

My model is based on the Sturgeon's Sawmill located in Sebastopol, California.  It is a working museum of a steam powered sawmill.  It is open to the public about four times a year when they have it in operation.

I was able to get a set of plans from a modeler, Boone Morrison.  I adapted the sawmill for the rail delivery of logs to the mill for a future layout.  I drew my own plans and templates to construct it to my needs.

I am including pictures of the original sawmill so that you get an idea what it looked like.


I want to thank those that have helped me in this project.

Good Evening Steven,

It looks like my help in posting was unsuccessful. Anybody out there that can give Steven some help in posting larger that the average pictures? This is a beautiful model and everybody needs to see bigger than a postage stamp. Help please.

If he's on a Mac, he can use Photos.app or iPhoto to resize the pictures.  Set the size to be "no greater than 640 x 640 pixels".  Can someone who uses Windows suggest an application?
