The second Archistories building kit with mechanized movement is the very handsome “Moosbachtal” water mill. Two variations of this kit are available: brick infilled with exposed timber and stucco with exposed timber. Many small towns throughout Europe and America had a grist mill, they were an essential part of village life, but this never occurred to z scale model manufacturers until now! Thankfully Archistories addressed this vacancy in z scale building kits. This is a kit that should be built after putting together some of the other kits first, it entails a more complex superstructure due to the internal motor, simple wiring, and intricate parts comprising the water wheel. This is a kit that can be completed on a Saturday afternoon, it is fun to put together (all these kits are) and the result will impress friends, neighbors, and even family. No one can help but enjoy a quiet hamlet with rambling trees, overgrown grass, babbling brook and grist mill. Mill comes complete with a grist stone, tile roof and cultured stone foundation. This kit is tied with many of the Archistories kits as best z scale building ever offered. Reality vs. fantasy can describe these high quality laser cut building kits vs. plastic kits that have been offered as the gold standard for many years. Plastic kits are okay, I have built many, but in reality most buildings are not shiny; they just look like a fantasy. Archistories laser cut kits are the closest thing to what we find in the real world plus there is depth in the pigments and surface textures you will not find from any other company. And very complementary with fine z scale trains. Here are a few pictures: please keep in mind the temporary display of this fine building on a styrofoam block. If you want to see stunning vignettes using this kit in dioramas check out Archistories website or www.ZscaleMonsterTrains. Last photo shows wire with two capacitors soldered in-line that are provided in the kit with the motor (same as windmill kit). Water wheel is of a much better design than the one by Faller for their current laser cut kit lumber mill.
