You might have seen my recently started 0-scale machine shop diorama project in another thread on this forum.
This project have been planned for several years, and I  even made an enquiery to SierraWest about their fine looking machine tool set a couple of years back.
But foolishly enough, I did not order the set at the time.

To my big disappointment I now have learnt that the set is sold out!

I am very interested in buying this set. Preferably unbuilt, but I will also consider a partly built or completet set.
Individual machines are also of interest.

If there are other quality models in 0 scale for machine shop tools, I would be pleased to hear about them.

If you have something for sale, please send an PM or email me at houen(X)online.no

Try eBay.

Try eBay.

Already did. No luck.

Wiseman models has advertised them for sale recently on Model Railroads > Narrow Gauge.  I don't know if they are there currently but they come around frequently.

Thank you for the tip!
No Machine Shop kit at the present, but a lot of other interesting detail parts.

Do you still have my email?
Email me and I will see what I have. May be the weekend before I get to it - busy week

Thank you for tipping me off! I searched only for SierraWest and found nothing. But the CHB kits listed on Wisemans eBay shop are the original kits that later were sold by SierraWest. I would think that the early runs of these kits might be better value than the newer ones as moulds wear out. It is also nice that the CHB kits are all white metal, while the SierraWest reruns include some resin parts.

I am anxiously waiting for  the bidding to start. No idea how much interest there is in these kits. But I suspect this could become expensive very fast...

Hauk,   The CHB kits on e-bay will not go cheap at least I never see them sell reasonable

Never let it be said that I will stand between an addict and his fix

Do you want a CHB original milling machine kit?
I have one, PM me if interested.

Some up on eBay, ending later today.

Thanks for the tip about Wiseman on eBay!
Won the bid for three machines (Lathe, large pillar drill and hacksaw), and with Paul´s  offer for a milling machine I have four machines secured for the diorama.

Had to stay awake until 3 o´clock in the morning to win the bids on eBay, though...

I guess you're a "sniper".  You wait until the closing seconds and then place one bid.

Is there any other way? 

I placed another bid before going to bed, about an hour before the auction ended and was outbidded by a measly dollar!
