Model Sawmill - Kit Bashing a Set from Kibri

In the 1950s there were some 200 sawmills in Denmark. Many of them where small to medium size businesses and mainly serviced their local areas with building materials etc. I wanted such a sawmill on my future layout since it would help create a lot of rail traffic. The model is a kit bashed version of a brilliant Kibri sawmill set 9816 (Schwellensage mit Innenrichtung). Mine is an older set so nowadays the kit is known as set 405-9816. Although the kit is some 40 years old by now it features a full interior and many interesting details. The model depicts a building in concrete and bricks which was a little too modern for my era. I therefore lowered the building and changed it to represent a wooden building more in line with what you would typically find in Denmark in the mid-1950s. Only the part of the sawmill where the boiler is located is made from bricks due to the fire hazard. The brick walls are covered in a lime-plaster stucco; however, it is need of some repair. It is at this stage not clear if the boiler is still in use or if the sawmill has switched to electrical power, but the chimney is still there towering over the sawmill. This video is a bit longer than I usually make them so I have divided it into chapters:
