Specific Item Information: Wind powered water pumps have been a feature of the American Mid-West for well over a century. The earliest examples were made of wood which were eventually replaced by the mass produced steel prototype represented in this kit. Nearly 6 million of this prototype were manufactured by the Climax Corporation.

This all brass kit includes the well sleeve and piping shown. The completed model measures 3” high, 1/4” x 1/4” at the base and 3/4” x 1 1/4” at the top. ‘Making-A-Scene Etched’ kits are created from finely etched brass components that have been designed for ease of assembly which is assisted by illustrated instructions. Assembly usually takes less than an hour and no soldering or special tools are required.
Road Name History:
Some items are designed to have their owner add whatever company marking they choose, usually in the form of decals or dry-transfers. These items are painted in a generic prototypical fashion but with all company affiliation deliberately left off.

Brand/Importer Information:
The N Scale Architect was founded in 1991 by Russ Kaufman who has been active in model railroading since the early 1970s. Although many model railroaders received a Lionel Train as their first train set, Russ and his brother Bill were bitten by the model railroad bug in the form of an Aurora N-Scale set.

Russ started The N Scale Architect based on the encouragement of fellow modelers who thought that the plans he had drawn up for scratch building over the years might be enjoyed by others in kit form. The first kits featured detailed step-by-step instructions with hand drawn illustrations and plastic templates to be used for cutting the various pieces. This tradition of high quality instructions continues with the addition of "in-process" and color photos and, thanks to better computer aided programs, more detailed drawings. These templates have been replaced with laser-cut micro-plywood pieces along with the addition of many detailing castings which are now also available separately as part of their "Making A Scene" product line.
