$2500, $850, etc. for a STINKIN'KIT! It is no wonder this hobby is going to hell in a bucket of crap! I know this post is "deletion fodder", but I just had to respond!

Regardless of the price it is impressive and it would be fun to afford it and all the details it would eat up in a scene. At the rate I'm working at it would be the only kit I'd ever have to buy. It would take just a few decades just for me to build. I have the turtle method of construction down pat.

Herb, That is really funny. I used to be the sole moderator on the worlds largest Z Scale site. Sounds like we both went to the same 'moderator school?' Jim

I know somebody named DOUG in canada who built one of these in HO scale and he said it would have been easier to scratch build it.
There is a lot of laser cut post and beams in this kit. Would drive ya crazy copying them or making each one scratch. Think i would have rich sheppard of R S LASER KITS laser cut new ones for me.
Tough one to get , this is the O scale kit as they MASTER CREATIONS only made 50. I managed to work a trade on one for 4 tom yorke kits. Problem was that the particular kit somebody had gone thru it and lost a lot of wood parts, so i unfortunately cancelled the trade.

Hi Mike,
I think I saw some of these very limited "limited editions' are being re-run as a re-release on the BTS site in the last 12 months or so.
I am not sure if there are differences between the original 50 and the re-release "Encore" items. See http://www.btsrr.com/
Maybe you can score a Coon Gap Mill still?

that news is fantastic, especially about the rewriting of the instructions which were a seperate issue . To say they were horrible is being nice.
BTS has made the right move by redoing the original designs, but modifying and rewriting what needed to be done.
A lot of great O scale kits will be brought back to life and your not going to have to go to war on ebay to get one and at a price that's far fairer.. The coon gap was being offered over $1000 US, now you can get a better engineered model for $699.
Not cheap but a kit of this substance makes it worth it. A whole layout can be constructed around either of their sawmill offerings.
let those log buggies roll and get a shay or heisler or climax to shift the loads. I really like that 2-4-4-2 on30 from bachman..............trick !
