Mills, Wheels & More...
Everyone likes water tumbling over a moving water wheel.We've added "The Fitz" - a scale all-steel overshoot waterwheel option. Its superior design enabled an efficiency of 90% as compared with the 60% of the wood wheel. Ideal for saw mills, grist mills or ore mines. Mills add realism to your layout in many ways with sound, motion, presence, and beauty. We have been on mill quests while on vacations, road trips and with friends for over almost 40 years.
