Interior of the Blacksmith Shop

Working hinges on front door

Blacksmith Shop

Our blacksmith shop is typical of those found in small industry, branch line service, mining, and logging operations. The kit interior includes forge/hearth with hood and chimney, bellows, anvil, slack tub, swage block, leg vise, post drill press, foot-treadle grindstone, mandrel, complete set of blacksmith tools, with tongs hammers, etc., and working door hinges.  The kit has over 100 white metal castings, basswood strips, chain, simulated coal, a 12 volt grain of wheat light for hearth fire and much more.  The 1:20.3 scale kit has redwood strips and a simulated cedar shingle polyurethane roof.

Critical Praise

"It's a pleasure to build a kit this well designed and produced. Western Scale Models has done a fine job and I highly recommend this model as a first craftsman kit. The many small details give life to this structure making it a centerpiece on any layout."
