is selling an
O scale kit for the Hardeeville/Argent

until the short line serving the lumber
mill closed in 1956. Components in this
craftsman-type kit include wood, nut-bolt-washer sets, tank pipe
and spout assemblies, plumbing parts, and a copy of the original
Thomas A Yorke steel tank. The kit is $93.89. Visit the website for
