Archistories Windmill building kit has historical ties to the island of Toftum on Germany’s North Sea coast, it is described by Archistories as one of the oldest windmill designs and a rare right turner. Originally part of Denmark Toftum comprised one island of the chain of North Frisian Islands thus tying this windmill to Danish history. “Toftum auf Foehr” is a building kit comprising a motorized mechanism whose turning speed can be adjusted using the control of the Marklin Mini Club transformer. A few simple soldering connections are required including positive/negative wires to motor posts followed by wiring in-line two capacitors to the positive wire. Once motor is wired (Marklin wire recommended), it is installed inside the building as outlined in the instructions. I highly recommend following Arhistories step-by-step instructions in the order they provide otherwise disaster will follow and the kit ruined. The most challenging aspects to this kit are lining up the sails with the armature of the motor: a flat edge of the sail construction aligns with the flat edge of the motor armature! The other challenge is installing the risers in the railings for the stairs, here magnifying goggles, tweezers and patience is required; I have found that laying one railing flat and installing all risers with a tiny drop of glue to the bottom of each riser works well followed immediately by attaching the other railings by using the tweezers and carefully aligning risers in the holes. Once you get the hang of putting stairs together with these kits it is a breeze primarily because these are precision cut of heavy warp free cardstock. One other recommendation is to build this kit after you have a place for it on your layout, it is fragile until installed. This is an absolutely beautiful detail rich building for your z scale layout, and one I recommend building after constructing some of the easier Archistories kits: Scandinavian cottages and station kits. I provided a few photos of the one I made to show off the details: *windmill temporarily installed without cement on styrofoam the lurching forward in some of the photos is not indicative of any defects with the building.
