Wow, that looks amazing, Jerry. What scale is this?

[PRR Modeler]

I agree with everyone else WOW just WOW.

[GPdemayo]

I forgot to ask Jerry.....is this a kit or a scratch build. I have a bunch of hard rock mines that could benefit from a stamp mill. So far this looks like a good candidate. 

[Jerry]

Thanks Vince its O-Scale. 


Curt its appreciated thank you.


Gregory its a kit made by Western Scale Models.  The buildings will be scratch that's why I posted it here.
Western Scale Models was bought out by Wild West Models he has all these kits in HO, S, O scales look at his web site.  He really has some nice stuff if your into mining.


Once again thank you all for taking a look.

1st Picture view from the back with Cams and Latch Fingers in Place


2nd Picture of the Latch Finger.  An in case your wondering what they do.  When they need to change a stamp or Cam they hold the Tappet up and out of the way.


3rd Picture of the front with the deck in place for maintenance.

Jerry,


As usual, absolutely beautiful.  I appreciate the explanation of how the latch fingers work.  I really hope your building will have a removable roof or other way to allow the interior to be viewed easily.
