Hi Mike; I have the SierraWest Back Woods Train in HOn3...Christmas present. It's sitting in a draw along with a number of other fine kits till I feel proficient enought to tackle it and the weather gets a little warmer. I can't paint in the house because of my wife's allergic reaction to aromas. Anyway, I'm currently working on the Master Creations Cooley's Old Rose Mine. It's a OLD laser kit and although nicely designed it is a poor job for the cost. All the laser cuttings on the up-rights are jaggared and it would take a hundred hours (no exagiration) to clean them up. I won't buy another lazer cut kit till I check out the cutting. As to the sawmill, I'm drooling waiting for it to arrive. It will be the focal point of my small layout, a 2.5' X 12' with a 3'X 3' dog leg for the sawmill. I've done some work with weathering and such, you know with chalks, and I like the results. I've kind of gone into this (second time around) with a vengance. As you can tell by the kits I've come to own. Like you I like the high end and my layout is going to be small by most standards so I'm going to compensate with real high detail. I want to kit bash some other structures and I have AutoSketch8 along with a 36" HP multi-pen plotter to do out my drawings. Even gone so far as to buy the materials to do my own resin and low melt metal casting once the weather warms. <br /> <br />Let's keep intouch on this as if I had had some input on the mine kit it would have helped. I found one major mistake in that kit and there was no way it could have gone together the way it was made....Walt
