    This reinforced concrete factory is named after Pat Miller,
    NARA member #8

    The factory is called MILLER ELECTRIC and is where the very well known MILLER small appliances are made.
    The most popular of the lines made are the toaster, the kettle and the iron.
    Many other items made include mixers and food processors.
    These appliances are sold in all the communities served by the M.A.T. railroad.
    They are known for excellent quality at an affordable price.
    It is no wonder the Miller family are smiling.
    This firm supplies employment to a large number of the people living in Tayside.

    It is N gauge

    Robin...another masterpiece! You mentioned that you use cereal box cardboard. I wonder if the thickness of what you can get is greater than what I can get, because the boxes I have are very flimsy.

    John, the thickness is about 1/32. It is flimsy until other pieces are glued to it and when windows are glued. Painting also stiffens the cardboard.
    The cereals we eat are made by Kellogs so that's the cardboard I use.
    It taks a bit of experimenting at times
