You never cease to amaze. Is this going to be "driven" by a creek underneath or a flume overhead?
Thanks, Matt! I miss hanging out and running trains with you and the guys at AGHR - it looks like the club layout is really coming along and you've added some interesting new features! My layout is a decent size, but my trains can't really stretch their legs the way they could at the club, either...
As far as the mill wheel, my plan is to go with a creek driven approach - with the water pushing it from underneath & the wheel moving clockwise. I'm assuming I can reverse the motor if needed.... but if I can't get the wheel to spin clockwise, I may go with an overhead flume.

CO HIRAILER,
Embroidery hoops do come in a variety of sizes (and shapes, FWIW)... I'd actually ordered a small lot with different sizes so I could stand them next to the mill and judge the aesthetics. In my limited experience, some hoops are more truly "round" than others, so I would either buy them in person at a craft store or order extras online.
Good call with respect to the rust on the bolts. I'll have to see how/if I can model the bolts, or if I should try to fashion some bolt plates.
