Woodmanse Windmill Salesman's Sample Model at Local Auction
« on: May 20, 2021, 05:32:06 pm »
This is not quite an accessory

When I found this at a local auction....
I was rather drawn toward it when the auction house lady steered me towards it and said since you like those engines you might want to take a look at this windmill. She was right.

I went to preview a couple steam engines that I did bring home. The windmill was beyond my bidding ability by the time I found it. 

They were nice enough to let me make a short film of it.

Enjoy,

Gil

That windmill was an impressive build ... would have been nice to have scored that .... at a reasonable price!

Well Done!! I was hoping they’d go unnoticed being there wasn’t a whole collection in the sale but that doesn’t happen too much anymore!  :D
