For some time I have been keeping my eyes out for a project that has lots of motion. I feel that too many of our layouts have become static models in which only the trains move. I had been thinking of a sawmill with a moving blade and table that would be constantly sawing a log, a highway with moving cars, or ??? While looking through sites for pictures of old steam and early gas engines to power such a sawmill I came across a site with pictures of an old, but still working, oil field in which the pumps (pump jacks) were all powered with long rods by an engine in a central location. I found what I was looking for, a scene with lots of monkey motion. So I’m going to try and build it. Here’s a link to the site where the pictures for my project were found. http://www.herculesengines.com/FlatRock/ DASH
